Ursodeoxycholic acid for better recovery after retinal detachment surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding ursodeoxycholic acid (a bile acid medication) to standard surgery can protect the retina and improve vision after a retinal detachment. It's for people who need vitrectomy surgery and have a detached retina involving the macula.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for vitrectomy surgery for a retinal detachment.
- You have had a lens removed (aphakia) or have an artificial lens (pseudophakia).
- Your retinal detachment affects at least two quarters of your eye and involves the macula (central vision area).
- Your macula has been detached for 7 days or less when symptoms started.
- You have signed a consent form and have health insurance.

This trial tests if taking a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside after retinal detachment surgery can help the eye heal better and see more clearly. It is for people who had a specific type of retinal detachment and have already had cataract surgery.
This trial studies a surgical technique that may improve vision in people with a detached retina and scar tissue inside the eye. It asks whether removing a thin layer from the retina during surgery helps the retina heal better.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with a specific type of detached retina (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment). It may help improve how doctors choose and manage treatment, based on what outcomes happen after repair.
This Phase 2 trial tests an injection of topotecan into the eye after surgery for retinal detachment that keeps coming back due to scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy). It may help improve how the retina heals after difficult, repeat operations when vision is usually very guarded.
This trial compares two types of surgery for people with a retinal detachment who still have their natural lens (no prior cataract surgery). One group gets vitrectomy alone; the other gets vitrectomy plus the lens removed at the same time. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether netarsudil eye drops can prevent vision-threatening scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy) after retinal detachment repair. If you are having surgery for a retinal detachment, these drops may reduce the risk of complications.
