Stem cell eye treatment from your own cornea cells
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests an eye treatment made from your own cornea surface cells, grown in a lab and put back into the eye. It may help people with limbal stem cell deficiency by improving the health of the eye surface after a cell biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have limbal stem cell deficiency in one or both eyes
- There is enough healthy tissue at the edge of your eye (limbus) so a small biopsy can be taken safely
- Your eye must be healthy enough for the biopsy without likely harm to the donor eye
- You are not pregnant
- You are not breast-feeding
- You have no known allergy to aprotinin (Trasylol) or sensitivity to bovine (cow) proteins

This trial studies a type of eye surface transplant to help when the eye’s limbal “stem cells” are missing or not working well. If you have severe limbal stem cell deficiency in one or both eyes, this treatment may help the eye heal and stay healthier.
This study tests a new eye drop called CSB-001 for people with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a condition that damages the cornea. The goal is to see if the drops can help improve the health of the cornea and reduce inflammation.
This observational study follows patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (a condition affecting cells at the edge of the cornea that help maintain healthy eye surface) to understand how their vision changes over time. Researchers will track your eye health without giving you new treatment.
This study is testing a new way to use a small piece of your cheek tissue to repair the surface of your eye. It may help people with certain eye conditions, like recurring growths, tumors, or burns.
This trial tests transplanting your own limbal and corneal stromal stem cells to repair corneal damage from a chemical burn. It may help if standard treatments have not improved your eye 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.
