Artificial corneal implant for chronic corneal swelling
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests an artificial corneal implant called EndoArt for people with long-term corneal swelling who have run out of transplant options. The implant aims to reduce swelling and improve vision without needing a donor cornea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 85 years old.
- You have had chronic corneal swelling for at least 3 months and have had at least 3 failed corneal transplants.
- You are not considered a good candidate for another corneal transplant.
- Your cornea thickness is within a specific range (measured by your doctor).
- You have an artificial lens in the eye (from prior cataract surgery).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new corneal implant to treat corneal swelling caused by Fuchs' dystrophy or after cataract surgery. It aims to improve vision and reduce the need for a full corneal transplant.
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called EO2002 for people with corneal edema (swelling of the clear front part of the eye) caused by endothelial dysfunction, which can happen with Fuchs dystrophy or after cataract surgery. The treatment aims to restore the inner layer of the cornea to reduce swelling and improve vision.
This study tests whether adding a special growth factor solution to the fluid used during corneal transplant surgery helps the transplant heal better. It is for patients undergoing a specific type of corneal transplant called DSEK or DMEK.
This Phase 1 study tests whether EO2002 eye drops are safe and well tolerated in people with painful corneal swelling caused by the cornea’s inner lining not working well. It focuses on safety first, but your eye symptoms and vision may be monitored to see how you respond.
This study tests an artificial cornea (a small plastic implant) to see if it can safely improve vision in people who are blind from corneal damage and cannot have a regular cornea transplant. It aims to help those with no other good treatment options.
This trial tests a new treatment that implants donated corneal cells attached to a tiny gel onto the back of the cornea. It aims to reduce swelling and improve vision in people with corneal conditions like Fuchs dystrophy or swelling after cataract surgery.
