Diabetic Retinopathy clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 8 recruiting diabetic retinopathy studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05296447Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety study for diabetic retinopathy gene therapy
This study follows people who already received an injection of RGX-314 (an experimental gene therapy) in a previous clinical trial for diabetic retinopathy, with or without swelling in the macula. It checks the long-term safety and how the treatment works over time.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges Any age - NCT07592273RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Gene therapy for diabetic eye disease without macular swelling
This trial tests a gene therapy injection into the eye to treat diabetic retinopathy (eye damage from diabetes) before it progresses. The goal is to slow or prevent vision loss and potentially delay the need for laser treatment or other injections.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07235085RecruitingPhase 3
Study of OTX-TKI implant for moderate to severe NPDR
This study tests an eye implant (OTX-TKI) that slowly releases a medicine to slow or stop worsening of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) — an early form of diabetic eye disease. It's for people with moderately severe to severe NPDR who haven't had significant treatments like laser or injections in that eye.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06770933RecruitingPhase 2
VX-01 pill for diabetic eye disease study
This trial tests if an oral medication called VX-01 can help people with diabetic eye disease (non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy) that is moderate to severe but not yet at the most advanced stage. It may be an option if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and have not had certain prior eye treatments.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05463289Recruiting
AI helps children with diabetes get eye exams
This study tests an AI-based way to help check children’s eyes for signs of diabetic retinopathy (diabetes-related eye disease). It may improve how quickly and consistently eye screening is done for kids with diabetes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 8–21 - NCT06790784RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing faricimab plus laser vs. surgery for diabetic eye disease
This study compares two approaches to treat advanced diabetic eye disease (proliferative diabetic retinopathy): injections of faricimab plus laser, versus surgery (vitrectomy) with laser. It is for people with diabetes who need treatment for PDR and still have relatively good vision (20/100 or better) in the affected eye.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04505618Recruiting
Eye scan study using special imaging for blood-vessel disease
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.

What taking part in a diabetic retinopathy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there diabetic retinopathy clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting diabetic retinopathy studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a diabetic retinopathy study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a diabetic retinopathy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New diabetic retinopathy studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
