Retinal imaging of immune cells in aging and age-related conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye dye and imaging to look for immune cells in the back of the eye. It may help researchers understand whether these cells relate to certain eye and brain conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 55 to 80 years old
- Be either a healthy elderly person, or have dry age-related macular degeneration with geographic atrophy, or have mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease
- Have no autoimmune diseases (like psoriasis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis)
- Have no history of allergy to indocyanine green dye or iodine
- Not be taking biologic immunosuppressive medications (such as Humira or Enbrel)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
This study uses a special camera to photograph the back of your eye in detail. Researchers believe changes in the eye may reflect brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and this imaging could help detect these conditions earlier.
This study tests a new eye imaging device to see if it can take clear pictures of the back of the eye. It may help doctors better see and monitor conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
This study uses a special, high-resolution camera to take detailed pictures of the back of the eye. It is testing the camera's ability to see changes in the retina for people who are healthy or have age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or other conditions that affect autofluorescence patterns.
