Testing GLK-221 Eye Drops for Keratoconus
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests an eye drop called GLK-221 for people with keratoconus, a condition where the clear front of the eye bulges. The goal is to see if the drops can safely help improve the condition compared to a placebo (an inactive solution).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 55 years old.
- You must have keratoconus in at least one eye.
- If you are a woman, you cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy during the study.
- You cannot be currently enrolled in or have been in another experimental drug or device trial within the last 30 days.

This trial tests a new eyedrop (TN-001) for people with keratoconus that is getting worse. The drops are applied twice a day to try to stop the cornea from thinning and bulging further.
This study follows people with keratoconus—a condition where the cornea (clear front part of the eye) thins and bulges into a cone shape—or early signs of it. Researchers will track corneal changes over time to better understand and detect the disease early.
This trial is looking at what it's like for people with keratoconus who have not yet had any treatment. It helps researchers understand how to better include patients in future studies.
This study looks at how donor corneas (for deep lamellar corneal transplant in keratoconus) are prepared using corneal collagen cross-linking, to see if it improves outcomes for people with keratoconus. You may be eligible if you meet vision and cornea shape/thickness requirements and can return for long follow-up.
This study tests a procedure called Xenia corneal lenticule in people with severe keratoconus or severe post-LASIK corneal thinning who want to avoid a corneal transplant. It aims to improve vision while checking safety and how well the new procedure works over time.
This trial compares two ways to manage inflammation after corneal crosslinking for keratoconus: a tiny steroid insert placed in the tear duct versus standard steroid eye drops. It aims to see which option is easier and works just as well.
