Predicting diabetic eye disease with eye fluid markers
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks for biomarkers in eye fluid and images to predict how diabetic retinopathy progresses. It compares people with diabetes at different stages, healthy controls, and people with a non-diabetic eye condition called epiretinal membrane.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses an AI program called DRISTi to screen for diabetic eye disease by taking pictures of the back of your eye. It's designed for adults with diabetes who haven't had major eye treatments or vision loss.
This study looks for proteins in the blood and eye fluids that may help doctors better understand and monitor three common eye conditions: age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. If you have one of these conditions, or if you are a healthy control with no retinal disease, you may be able to help by giving a small sample of blood or fluid from your eye during a routine procedure.
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation in the eye are linked in people with diabetes who have or haven't developed diabetic retinopathy. It may help doctors understand why some people get eye damage and others don't.
This study tests whether advanced eye imaging can predict how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) may worsen over time. If you have type 2 diabetes and early to moderate diabetic retinopathy without swelling in the central part of the retina, you may be able to join.
This study follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
This study observes how diabetes affects vision over time in people with diabetes. It helps doctors better understand eye health without any treatment or intervention.
