Stem cell transplant for corneal injury repair
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment that uses your own stem cells to repair a damaged cornea after a chemical burn. It may help reduce scarring and improve vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a chemical injury to the eye from acid or alkali.
- The damage covers more than half of the cornea's surface and the scar is not too deep.
- Only one eye is affected, and the other eye is healthy.
- Your eye has not improved with other treatments for at least three months.
- You do not have certain other eye conditions or serious health problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a new way to repair the eye surface by using a thin sheet of cells from your own mouth, which are grown in the lab and then placed on your eye. It may help people whose eye damage hasn't improved with other treatments and who have very poor vision.
This trial tests a treatment that uses your own eye cells to repair the surface of the eye. It may help if you have severe damage to the clear front layer of your eye.
This trial tests whether injecting special stem cells (from a donor) under the white of the eye can help heal severe chemical burns. It is for people with very serious burns that affect the entire eye surface, and the treatment aims to reduce damage and improve healing.
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 study tests whether a special substance from stem cells (called secretome) can help heal chronic surface problems on the eye that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It's for people with a stubborn scratch or defect on the cornea that has lasted more than 14 days.
