5-FU injection for eyelid bumps called chalazia
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a specific medicine injection (5-fluorouracil) to treat chalazia, which are non-cancerous eyelid bumps. It may help reduce the bump when other approaches haven’t worked yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more chalazia (eyelid bumps) in one eyelid
- Your chalazia have been present for at least 1 month
- You have not had a previous injection for this chalazia
- You have not had previous incision and curettage (a procedure to open and remove tissue) for this chalazia

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if intense pulsed light (IPL), a light therapy often used for skin issues, can safely help chalazion, a small bump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland. It may reduce inflammation and help the bump resolve faster.
This trial tests whether a special steam mask helps treat chalazion (a small lump on the eyelid) in children, compared to the usual warm compress. It's a simple home treatment that may be easier and more effective for kids.
This trial tests two ways to treat keloids (thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound): injecting a medication called 5-fluorouracil alone, or combining it with cryotherapy (freezing). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain, itching, and visible scarring.
This study compares two medicines (bleomycin and a mix of 5-FU plus triamcinolone) injected directly into keloids to see which works better. It may help reduce scarring.
This trial tests a new minimally invasive procedure using tiny tunnels and a heparin injection to treat xanthelasma (cholesterol deposits under the skin of the eyelids). It may help reduce the appearance of these deposits with less scarring than traditional methods.
This trial tests a new way to deliver treatment directly into the eye (through a thin space near the choroid) for people whose cancer has spread to the eye. It aims to see if this targeted approach can safely shrink the eye tumors.
