Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT02138669Recruiting
Prescription cornea insert for keratoconus when vision worsens
This trial tests whether prescription inserts placed in the cornea can improve day-to-day vision for people with keratoconus whose vision is getting worse and who have few options left. You may be able to avoid or delay corneal transplant depending on your cornea shape and thickness.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02194816Recruiting
Online survey study for people with Parkinson’s or Parkinsonism
This study looks at how changing certain factors over time relates to symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. You may help researchers by completing longer online surveys every 6 months for 5 years.
Kenmore, WashingtonAges 19 years+ - NCT02669953Recruiting
Aflibercept injections for persistent wet macular degeneration
This trial studies whether aflibercept injections can help when “wet” age-related macular degeneration is recurring or not fully going away. It focuses on adults who have already had ranibizumab and still have measurable vision in the study eye.
ViennaAges 50 years+ - NCT02593565Recruiting
Pregnancy blood-vessel disease registry study
This is a pregnancy registry that collects information from people with certain blood-vessel inflammatory diseases during pregnancy. It helps researchers better understand these conditions in pregnancy and may guide future care.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–50 - NCT02841553Recruiting
Online registry for Wolfram syndrome worldwide
This study builds an international online registry to learn how Wolfram syndrome (and related WFS1 conditions) changes over time. It may help researchers understand the disease course and improve future care by collecting health and family history data.
St Louis, MissouriAges birth+ - NCT02157025Recruiting
Better vision test for kids with glaucoma concerns
This study tries a more engaging way to test children’s vision using a visual field exam, to make the results more reliable. It may help your child practice the test better over two visits and give the clinic more dependable information.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 5–8 - NCT02290795Recruiting
Study of the eye nerve shape in glaucoma and other eye conditions
This study looks at how parts of the eye’s optic nerve and retinal surface look and change in people with glaucoma (or certain eye procedures) and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand eye anatomy, which could guide future care.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT02253030Recruiting
Eye scan study for newly diagnosed wet AMD
This study uses a special eye scan (OCT angiography) to look at new, abnormal blood vessel growth in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) who have not been treated yet. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it changes over time.
Portland, OregonAges 50–100 - NCT02357238Recruiting
Study of genetics in people with uveitis
This study looks at genetic (inherited) differences in people with uveitis. The goal is to better understand what may cause uveitis and potentially help with future treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 6 years+ - NCT02327884Recruiting
Study saliva and related diseases to learn health patterns
This study looks at diseases that involve the salivary (saliva) glands, and may also include people with active hepatitis, oral cancer, or healthy adults. Researchers collect blood, urine, saliva, and sometimes tissue to better understand what’s happening and how these conditions relate to saliva and oral health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–100 - NCT02706704RecruitingPhase 2
Adalimumab eye injections vs under-skin shots for uveitis
This trial compares two forms of the same medicine (adalimumab) to treat non-infectious uveitis, an inflammation inside the eye. It aims to see which delivery method works better to control active inflammation and protect vision.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT02521311RecruitingPhase 2
Clemastine to help restore nerve covering in optic neuritis
This Phase 2 trial tests whether clemastine can help regrow the protective covering around the optic nerve after acute optic neuritis (an inflammation-related vision problem). It may help improve vision recovery and signal how well “remyelination” happens.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT02678962Recruiting
Multifocal lens eye surgery: compare results in both eyes
This trial compares outcomes from multifocal intraocular lenses (artificial lenses that help with focusing) after cataract surgery on both eyes. It may help show whether these lenses give better vision compared with other expectations after surgery.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–80 - NCT02485847Recruiting
Join an eye health research registry
This trial is a research registry that collects information from people who are getting eye care. It helps researchers better understand eye disease and outcomes over time, which may improve future care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 6 months+ - NCT02576925Recruiting
Predicting the cause of brief double vision episodes
This trial looks at a way to predict what causes short-lasting double vision. It may help doctors choose the right next steps faster after symptoms stop.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT02585414Recruiting
Eye scans to study dry eye in adults
This study uses a special eye scan (OCT) to measure the tear film in healthy adults and in people with dry eye. It may help researchers understand what’s different in dry eye and how well the scan reflects dry eye symptoms.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT02605785Recruiting
Imaging study to track tau protein in PSP
This study uses brain imaging to look at a protein called tau in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It aims to better understand the disease and how tau changes over time, which may help future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 35 years+ - NCT02964637Recruiting
Tests to help diagnose frontotemporal dementia
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT03160131Recruiting
Rehab program to improve vision after brain injury
This study looks at rehabilitation to improve vision after a brain injury. It may help people with significant vision problems regain everyday visual function.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges 14 years+ - NCT03131726RecruitingPhase 3
Simvastatin for Graves eye disease in mild-to-moderate cases
This trial tests whether simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can improve eye symptoms from Graves’ eye disease. It is aimed at people with active mild-to-moderate disease and will also check safety with blood tests, heart/skin tolerance, and stomach health.
MalmöAges 18–70 - NCT02959242Recruiting
Study of glaucoma eye pressure and risk checks
This study follows people with glaucoma, higher-than-normal eye pressure, or a suspected risk of glaucoma. It aims to better understand how eye pressure and eye findings relate to glaucoma and may guide future treatment decisions.
