Madison, WisconsinAges 18–90 - NCT06380075Recruiting
Comparing two imaging systems for inherited retinal disease
This trial compares two different imaging systems (Clarus and Optos) to see how well they can capture images of the retina in people with inherited retinal diseases. The goal is to find which system works better for diagnosing and tracking these conditions.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03932786Recruiting
Study of health and wellbeing after retinoblastoma treatment
This study looks at long-term health outcomes—how patients are doing physically and in daily life—after treatment for retinoblastoma. It may help doctors understand what support or follow-up care could be most helpful after treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT05853107Recruiting
AuTNA I implant study for retinitis pigmentosa with minimal vision
This pilot study tests an implant called AuTNA I in adults with retinitis pigmentosa who currently have no or only very limited light perception. The goal is to see whether the implant can work safely and potentially improve vision in a carefully selected group of people.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06374264Enrolling by invitation
Music-based walking therapy for NMOSD
This trial tests a music-based walking therapy (called MR-C-014) to see if it is safe and well-tolerated for people with NMOSD who have trouble walking. It may help improve your walking pattern and strength.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–70 - NCT06360133RecruitingPhase 3
New eye drop for dry eye disease
This study tests a new eye drop (5% VVN001) to treat dry eye disease that hasn't improved enough with artificial tears. It may help people with moderate-to-severe dry eye and low tear production.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 30–80 - NCT06371417RecruitingPhase 1
Testing RAY121 for several immune diseases (RAINBOW trial)
This trial tests a new medicine called RAY121 (an antibody) for people with certain autoimmune diseases. It aims to see if RAY121 is safe and how the body handles it. If you have one of these conditions and meet the basic health requirements, you might be able to join.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06371300Recruiting
Red vs Blue Light for Dry Eye With Mites
