- 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.

Understanding diabetes complications in cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how long-term diabetes affects people with cystic fibrosis. It helps researchers understand complications and improve care.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03713268Recruiting
Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT07222293Recruiting
Testing an AI tool to screen for diabetic eye disease
This study uses an AI program called DRISTi to screen for diabetic eye disease by taking pictures of the back of your eye. It's designed for adults with diabetes who haven't had major eye treatments or vision loss.

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.

- 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 North Carolina to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in North Carolina, 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.
