Clemastine to help restore nerve covering in optic neuritis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had sudden vision symptoms from optic neuritis in one eye within the last 3 weeks (not just pain).
- Your doctor thinks it is demyelinating optic neuritis (or you’re being evaluated as such).
- If you can become pregnant, you can use reliable birth control during the study and understand pregnancy rules.
- You can sign informed consent and understand what the study involves.
- You do NOT have other major eye problems (like glaucoma, macular degeneration, severe diabetes-related eye disease) that would explain your symptoms.
- Key safety checks are okay (for example, no severe eye hemorrhage, no complete vision loss in the affected eye, and blood/liver/kidney tests are within limits).

This study evaluates new guidelines for diagnosing optic neuritis, a condition where the nerve that carries vision becomes inflamed. If you have sudden vision loss in one or both eyes and your doctor thinks optic neuritis might be the cause, this trial will help confirm the diagnosis using updated diagnostic criteria.
This trial tests a drug called efgartigimod for people having their first episode of optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve). The goal is to see if it can help protect your vision better than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests if getting plasma exchange early, along with high-dose steroids, helps people with severe optic neuritis or transverse myelitis recover better than waiting to see if steroids alone work. It aims to find out if faster treatment can prevent lasting vision loss or disability.
This study tests whether a new medication called privosegtor can help restore vision in people who recently experienced sudden vision loss in one eye due to optic nerve inflammation. You would receive the study drug early after your symptoms start, when treatment may be most effective.
This study tests whether light stimulation can help improve vision after optic neuritis in people with multiple sclerosis. It may offer a way to support eye recovery without medication.
This study looks at how the eye-to-brain visual pathways work in people who have had optic neuritis symptoms for less than 4 weeks. It may help researchers better understand neuro-inflammatory (nerve inflammation) disorders and improve future care.
