Eye drops/treatment to heal stubborn cornea surface damage
This Phase 2 trial tests a locally delivered cell-based treatment (allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal long-lasting damage to the eye’s clear surface (the cornea). It may help if your cornea epithelium (surface layer) won’t improve even after standard non-surgical treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03358979Recruiting
3D eye-surface testing for severe dry eye
This study looks at how a specific eye-surface marker (EMMPRIN) changes on the surface cells in people with severe dry eye. It may help researchers understand disease severity and how new treatments could work for severe symptoms.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05264818Recruiting
Study measures eye surface sugar layer in glaucoma
This study looks at a thin “sugar coating” on the inside surface of the eye (the endothelial glycocalyx) in people with primary open-angle glaucoma and compares it with people without optic nerve disease. The results may help researchers better understand how glaucoma affects the eye.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05400590Recruiting
Test blood-based eye drops to help cornea healing
This study compares two types of blood-derived treatments (a growth-factor enriched plasma product versus your own serum) to see which helps corneal cells heal better in people with aniridia. It may be helpful if you need improved cornea healing, but you must meet blood-safety and eye-sample requirements.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05636579RecruitingPhase 1
Testing safety of multiple EO2002 eye drops for corneal swelling
This Phase 1 study tests whether EO2002 eye drops are safe and well tolerated in people with painful corneal swelling caused by the cornea’s inner lining not working well. It focuses on safety first, but your eye symptoms and vision may be monitored to see how you respond.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05587205RecruitingPhase 1
Tested eye drops for safety in cataract patients with low cornea cells
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and tolerable an investigational treatment (EO2002) is in adults having cataract surgery. It also looks at whether the treatment can be given without causing harmful effects in people with reduced cornea cell counts.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05650749Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
GPC2 car T cells for neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment using engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) that target a protein called GPC2 found on some cancer cells. It is for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma or metastatic retinoblastoma that has returned or not responded to other treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 year+ - NCT05670626Enrolling by invitation
ICL eye lens fit based on eye measurements
This study looks at how your current eyesight prescription relates to specific front-eye measurements to help choose the right implant (ICL) and its space (vault). It may help patients who have high myopia or astigmatism and can’t safely have LASIK.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–45 - NCT05626114RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a lab-made eye treatment after subretinal surgery
This Phase 2 study tests OpRegen, a treatment delivered during special eye surgery, for geographic atrophy related to age-related macular degeneration (GA from AMD). It also includes an imaging “substudy” that uses detailed pictures of your retina to better track safety and activity.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05616793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy eye surgery for LCA5 vision loss
This Phase 1/2 study tests the safety of putting a gene medicine into the eye for people with vision loss caused by LCA5 gene mutations. It includes a treatment group and a separate group of people who do not receive the gene medicine during the study.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 4 years+ - NCT05626920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Disulfiram trial for inherited vision loss in one eye
This early-stage study tests whether disulfiram can help preserve vision in people with inherited retinal degeneration. It focuses on one study eye and uses strict eye, blood/liver, and alcohol-avoidance rules because the medicine can affect the body and needs careful safety monitoring.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05613608RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cannabidiol (CBD) study for alcohol use disorder
This trial tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) can help people cut down or quit drinking alcohol. It enrolls adults diagnosed with alcohol use disorder and wanting to reduce drinking, while checking for safety and other mental health or drug use factors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21 years+ - NCT05606237Recruiting
Red-light sessions to slow worsening nearsightedness
This study tests whether repeated low-level red-light therapy can slow how fast nearsightedness (myopia) gets worse in children. It may help protect future eyesight, but your child must meet specific vision and health requirements and follow the study plan.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 8–13 - NCT05607095RecruitingPhase 1
TIL therapy for advanced uveal melanoma and sarcomas
This trial tests using your own immune cells (TILs) to fight advanced uveal melanoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, or angiosarcoma. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05600140Recruiting
Training kids to look smarter with visual impairment
This trial studies whether a “viewing strategy” training program can improve how children with visual impairment use their vision for learning and daily tasks. It looks at whether the training helps most when kids still struggle with visual processing.
NijmegenAges 5–12 - NCT05557721Enrolling by invitation
Micropulse laser for open-angle or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
This study tests a specific eye laser treatment (micropulse) for people with open-angle or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. It may help lower eye pressure, and the study also checks whether patients can follow the treatment plan and follow-up visits.
Skövde, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05554835Recruiting
Mitochondrial disease registry and history study
This study collects information about people who have a suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease. It aims to better understand how the disease looks over time, which can help future treatments.
InnsbruckAges Any age - 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.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 4 years+ - NCT05555589RecruitingPhase 3
RGN-259 eye drops for neurotrophic keratopathy with persistent corneal defects
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a 0.1% RGN-259 eye drop can safely improve a stubborn corneal wound in adults with neurotrophic keratopathy (nerve-related corneal healing problems). You may qualify if you still have an eye surface defect after at least a week of standard treatments, and you meet specific measurements for corneal sensitivity and vision.
Laguna Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05028712Recruiting
Multi-sensory rehab program for people with ultra low vision
This trial tests a rehabilitation program using multiple senses to help people with very low vision function more independently. It may help you learn new skills for daily life by using vision plus other senses.
New York, New YorkAges 12–99 - NCT04770519Recruiting
Family genetic study for eye misalignment and nystagmus
This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05523622Recruiting
Testing a new eye pressure measuring device
This study compares a new device (TonoVera) against other common tools used to measure eye pressure. It may help show whether the new device gives accurate readings and is practical for routine eye exams.
Buffalo, New YorkAges Any age - NCT05522972Recruiting
Tests video-game and training therapy for amblyopia
This trial studies whether perceptual learning and video-game style training can improve vision in people with amblyopia (lazy eye). You may be included if you have normal vision or amblyopia, and your eye exam does not show other eye problems that could affect results.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05504694RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ofatumumab for AQP4-positive NMOSD with recent relapses
This trial studies ofatumumab to reduce disease activity in adults with AQP4-IgG positive NMOSD who have had recent relapses. It may help lower the chance of new attacks and help prevent worsening disability over time.
