Cell graft for severe damage to both eyes’ surface
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a treatment made from your own mouth tissue cells to help regrow the front surface of the eye when both eyes have severe limbal stem cell deficiency. If you qualify, you may receive an autologous (made from your own tissue) cell sheet to improve eye healing and vision.

Checking monogenic diabetes wrongly labeled as type 1
This trial looks at people who were diagnosed with diabetes before age 25 as either type 1 or “not sure which type.” It may help confirm whether the cause is genetic (monogenic) rather than type 1, which can change treatment choices.

Diet for Behcet's disease patients with ringing in the ears
This trial tests whether a special diet can help ringing in the ears (tinnitus) in people with Behcet's disease who also have obesity. The goal is to see if dietary changes reduce tinnitus symptoms.
Giza, DokkiAges 40–55 - NCT07702123Recruiting
Physical activity study for women with Behcet's and metabolic syndrome
This study tests if a physical activity program helps women who have both Behcet's disease and metabolic syndrome. It aims to improve their health and well-being.
Giza, DokkiAges 40–50 - NCT07701759Recruiting
Oxygen levels during eye injections for premature babies
This study looks at how often low oxygen levels happen in premature babies when they get eye injections for a serious eye condition. The goal is to understand the risks and make the procedure safer.
BuraidahAges Any age - NCT07700498Recruiting
Combined cataract and glaucoma surgery for new patients
This trial tests a single surgery to treat both glaucoma and cataracts at the same time. It is for people who have not had any prior glaucoma treatment and need cataract surgery.
Ningxia, NingxiaAges 40–85 - NCT07622368RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IBI3031 for Active Thyroid Eye Disease
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called IBI3031 to treat active thyroid eye disease (TED), a condition where the immune system attacks muscles and tissue around the eyes, causing swelling, bulging, and sometimes double vision. The study aims to see if this drug can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT04553523Recruiting
Hydrus microstent study for open-angle glaucoma with cataracts
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT04008121RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing an eye imaging drug during retinal blood-vessel photos
This early safety study tests how well and how safely an investigational dye (MB-102) works during a special eye imaging test of retinal and choroidal blood vessels. It compares it to the commonly used fluorescein dye and may help doctors refine future eye imaging approaches.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04024293Recruiting
Testing a pressure-sensing contact lens for glaucoma and OHT
This study compares a special contact lens that measures eye pressure with standard eye-pressure testing. It may help people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension by improving how pressure is monitored.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT04040205RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib for sarcoma with specific cell-growth gene changes
This trial tests abemaciclib (a cancer medicine) in adults with advanced, unresectable bone or soft-tissue sarcoma that has certain gene changes in the “CDK pathway.” It aims to shrink tumors or slow growth in people whose tumors match the study’s biomarker and lab requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04077086Recruiting
Glasses program to improve blurry vision in rural schoolchildren
This trial tests whether giving the right glasses to children with myopia (near-sightedness) can improve their eyesight and help them attend school more regularly. Better vision may make it easier to see the board and participate in class.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges Up to 18 years - NCT04094090RecruitingPhase 2
Corneal strengthening treatment for thinning eye shape
This Phase 2 study tests how safe and well a corneal cross-linking device (called PXL-Platinum 330) works for people with corneal ectasia (a thinning/steepening of the cornea). If you qualify, the goal is to help stop or slow further worsening of your cornea shape and improve eye stability.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10 years+ - NCT04106830Recruiting
Study to follow neuroinflammation and demyelination diseases with imaging
This study builds a China-based group of people with neuroinflammatory and demyelination diseases and collects health and MRI (brain scan) information. It may help doctors better understand these conditions over time and improve future treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–75 - NCT04110067Recruiting
SMILE laser eye procedure for very high nearsightedness
This trial studies how well the SMILE laser procedure works to correct very high nearsightedness. It may help people with strong focusing power problems, as long as their eye measurements and cornea shape meet the study limits.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04129021Recruiting
Eye imaging test with fast detailed scans
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04140734Recruiting
Study of spacer grafts after lower eyelid surgery
This study looks at outcomes after lower eyelid retraction repair done with a spacer graft. It may help doctors understand how well this method works and what results to expect months after surgery.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04142307Recruiting
Biofeedback training for infant eye shaking
This trial tests whether biofeedback-based training can improve control of eye shaking (nystagmus) in infants with idiopathic infantile nystagmus. If you can safely follow the training and testing steps, it may help the eyes learn more steady viewing over time.
Toronto, OntarioAges 5–17 - NCT04187599Recruiting
Check how a specific contact lens fits and works
This study follows up on how the Paragon CRT® 100 (paflufocon D) contact lens performs after being used in the real world. It aims to confirm the lens is comfortable and safe for the right eye measurements and health conditions.
ShanghaiAges 8 years+ - NCT04187443RecruitingPhase 1
Drug MS-553 for diabetic eye swelling with reduced vision
This Phase 1 trial tests MS-553 to see how it works and how safely it can be given to people with diabetic retinopathy causing central macular swelling (macular edema). You may be considered if your vision and eye scan results match, and if you can follow frequent study visits.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04190134RecruitingPhase 1
Robot training to help you use a reading magnifier
This study tests a “socially assistive robot” that coaches and supports you in using your reading magnifier. It may help you use the device more easily and comfortably for reading tasks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04198740Recruiting
Test tear fluid and eye chemistry patterns in eye surface diseases
This study looks at tiny chemical patterns in tear fluid to better understand different causes of eye surface problems. Your participation may help researchers compare healthy eyes with conditions like dry eye, infections, or allergies.
