Diabetic Retinopathy clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 5 recruiting diabetic retinopathy studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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.
Austin, TexasAges 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06837181Recruiting
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.
San Antonio, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT07456826Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Comparing two eye numbing gels for shots
This trial tests a new eye-numbing gel against the standard numbing method to see which works better for patients getting regular anti-VEGF injections in the eye.
Tyler, TexasAges 18 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.

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 Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting diabetic retinopathy studies with a site in Texas, 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 Texas?
- 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 Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, 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 Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
