San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07019896Recruiting
Minimal surgery for epiretinal membrane
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for people with an epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina that can blur or distort vision. The goal is to see if a smaller, less invasive approach is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07021560Recruiting
ZEISS MyoCare glasses for slowing myopia in children
This trial tests whether ZEISS MyoCare glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is designed for kids aged 7 to 13 who are already nearsighted and need stronger glasses over time.
HanoiAges 7–13 - NCT07022197RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BAFF-R CAR T cells for severe nerve and immune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called BAFF-R CAR T cells) for people with severe nerve and immune diseases that have not improved with standard medicines. These cells are designed to target and destroy certain immune cells that may be causing your illness.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07024693RecruitingPhase 2
Study of DT-168 for corneal transplant patients with Fuchs dystrophy
This trial tests an investigational eye drop (DT-168) in people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who are already scheduled for a corneal transplant. The goal is to see if DT-168 can improve outcomes or delay the need for surgery.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 30 years+ - NCT07024719Recruiting
4D microscope OCT during eye surgery study
This trial tests a new microscope that takes 3D images of the eye during surgery. It may help doctors see eye details better while operating.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07027098Recruiting
Liquid silicone during eye surgery for retinal detachment
This trial tests whether using a liquid called perfluorocarbon (PFCL) during surgery helps the retina heal better in people with a specific type of retinal detachment. The goal is to see if it reduces damage to blood vessels in the eye.
Norwich, NorfolkAges 18 years+ - NCT07028827RecruitingPhase 3
Atropine eye drops for nearsightedness in kids and teens
This trial tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teenagers. It may help keep their eyesight from getting worse over time.
TiranaAges 3–17 - NCT07030153Recruiting
How genes may affect nearsightedness in children
This study looks at how genes may be linked to nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves a simple genetic test to help understand why some kids become nearsighted.
BeijingAges 6–18 - NCT07030946Recruiting
Video education to reduce anxiety before cataract surgery
This study tests whether watching educational videos before cataract surgery can help reduce anxiety and improve how well patients understand their care. It is for people having their first cataract surgery who are comfortable using digital devices.
Keelung, KeelungAges 18 years+ - NCT07036575Recruiting
Easy-to-Read Content Study for Kids with Learning Challenges
This study tests if easy-to-read materials help children with intellectual disabilities understand health information better. It may benefit kids who have trouble with regular reading materials.
TaipeiAges 3–17 - NCT07040306Recruiting
Follow-up study on drug therapy for Graves' disease
This study looks at how well medication works for people with Graves' disease in China. It may help doctors understand the best treatment options for both new cases and relapses.
