Retinal Disease clinical trials in Baltimore
We’re tracking 11 recruiting retinal disease studies with a site in or near Baltimore — including Phase 1 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- 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 - NCT05589714Recruiting
Study your rare eye gene and track retinal disease over time
This study builds a registry and tracks the natural history of rare retinal dystrophies while also testing people for disease-causing gene variants. It may help researchers better understand what causes retinal degeneration and how it progresses.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4 years+ - NCT02435940Recruiting
Registry for inherited eye vision conditions
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about people with inherited retinal (retina) diseases. It may help researchers learn how these conditions progress and connect you with future studies or treatments.
Columbia, MarylandAges Any age - NCT05355415Recruiting
Eye imaging study for outer retina diseases using adaptive optics
This study uses a special, high-detail eye imaging machine to take clear pictures of the outer retina. It may help researchers understand these eye conditions better, and how the eye images look when people have an outer retinal disease.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT04289571RecruitingPhase 1
Virtual reality vision testing for people with retinal disease
This early-stage study uses virtual reality tasks to check how well a person can move and function using their eyesight. It may help researchers measure vision abilities in a way that could guide future care for retinal disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–120 - NCT01145196Recruiting
Study drug eye damage and genes in Plaquenil users
This study looks at how Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) can harm the retina (the eye’s light-sensing layer) and whether genetics affect who gets affected. You may help by sharing medical details and providing an eye-related blood sample so researchers can compare gene patterns to eye findings.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01432847Recruiting
Collecting eye-related samples to study eye diseases
This study collects samples like blood and a small skin biopsy (and sometimes urine, hair, or saliva) to better understand causes of eye diseases. The goal is to study eye conditions and may help researchers build better tests or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles. Researchers will study people with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to better understand the condition over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT02317328Recruiting
Adaptive eye imaging to take very detailed retinal pictures
This study uses special “adaptive optics” equipment to capture very detailed images of the retina (the nerve layer at the back of the eye). It may help improve eye tests for people with eye disease and also includes some healthy volunteers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02617966Recruiting
Test of how rod and cone vision work in eye disease
This study measures how your eyes use two types of light-sensing cells (rods for dim light and cones for clearer detail). It may help researchers better understand retinal (retina) diseases and how well vision is functioning.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100

What taking part in a retinal disease 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 retinal disease clinical trials near Baltimore?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting retinal disease studies with a site near Baltimore, 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 retinal disease study near Baltimore?
- 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 Baltimore to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site near Baltimore, 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 retinal disease 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.
