Lab-grown eye cells from people with eye problems
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses stem cells from people with eye malformations to grow tiny 3D eye organ-like structures in the lab. The goal is to better understand how eye problems develop, which could lead to new treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have an eye malformation (a problem with the shape or structure of your eye present from birth).
- You must be covered by a social security or health insurance plan.
- You (or your legal guardian) must be able to sign a consent form agreeing to be in the study.
- You must not have trouble understanding the study or communicating with the research team.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This is a national study that follows people with certain rare eye birth defects and their families, including pregnant people. It aims to better understand how often related health issues happen and to study inheritance (DNA) in families.
This trial studies people whose eye surface problems are caused by an inherited (genetic) condition. It aims to better understand how specific genetic changes relate to symptoms, which may guide more personalized care.
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.
This study collects samples like blood and a small skin biopsy (and sometimes urine, hair, or saliva) to better understand causes of eye diseases. The goal is to study eye conditions and may help researchers build better tests or treatments.
This trial uses advanced imaging to create 3D models of the eye in people with lens problems, eye structure anomalies, trauma, or cataract complications. It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for these conditions.
