Epiretinal membrane in people with diabetic retinopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a condition called epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue that can form on the retina in people with diabetic retinopathy. It aims to understand this condition better and how it relates to diabetes-related eye damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have diabetes.
- You must have an epiretinal membrane, confirmed by a special eye scan called OCT.
- You must have diabetic retinopathy, of any severity.
- You must not have had eye surgery other than routine cataract surgery, nor any major eye injury.
- You must not have other eye diseases that affect vision, such as a macular hole or age-related macular degeneration.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks how the retina changes after surgery to remove a wrinkled layer (epiretinal membrane). It's for people who already have had cataract surgery and are having the membrane removed because their vision is warped or blurry.
This trial compares doing ERM surgery right away versus waiting at least 4 weeks to see if your vision stays stable. It may help people decide the safest timing for surgery when the membrane in the retina (ERM) is causing symptoms.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for people with an epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina that can blur or distort vision. The goal is to see if a smaller, less invasive approach is safe and effective.
This study tests a special intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery in people who also have epiretinal membrane (ERM), a thin layer of scar-like tissue on the retina. The goal is to see if this lens works well and safely for their eyes.
This study tests combining vitrectomy (surgery to remove the membrane from the retina) with a dexamethasone implant (a tiny steroid that is placed inside the eye to reduce swelling) for people with a specific type of eye membrane and fluid buildup in the center of the retina.
This trial is testing a new software tool that helps doctors see and assess different parts of the retina in eye scans. It aims to see how well the tool works in people with and without certain retina conditions.
