Study of DT-168 for corneal transplant patients with Fuchs dystrophy
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests an investigational eye drop (DT-168) in people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who are already scheduled for a corneal transplant. The goal is to see if DT-168 can improve outcomes or delay the need for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a corneal transplant (keratoplasty) for Fuchs dystrophy.
- You are 30 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Fuchs dystrophy in the eye being studied.
- You have a specific genetic change (TCF4 CTG repeat expansion) related to Fuchs dystrophy.
- You are not using certain eye drops like Muro 128 or steroid drops during the study, or you can stop them before starting.

This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
This Phase 3 trial compares outcomes from two cornea transplant procedures in people with FECD, a disease that makes the cornea swell and affect vision. It may help you and others by identifying which approach best supports clear vision and stable corneal thickness after surgery.
This study tests whether special eye drops (Rho-kinase inhibitors) can improve the health of the cornea in people who have both Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and glaucoma. The drops may help reduce corneal swelling and preserve your vision.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
This trial tests a new treatment, EO2002, for people with corneal swelling that causes vision loss. It aims to offer an alternative to corneal transplant for those with conditions like Fuchs dystrophy or swelling after cataract surgery.
This trial tests a surgical technique called Descemet membrane polishing during corneal transplant surgery for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). The study aims to see if this polishing step improves healing and vision after surgery.
