Collagen implant for severe corneal melting
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new collagen implant for people with severe corneal melting that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The implant may help repair the cornea and prevent a hole from forming.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe corneal melting (the cornea is thinning and at risk of perforation).
- Standard treatments like antibiotics, steroid eye drops, lubricating drops, or a contact lens have not worked.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an active eye infection or known allergy to collagen.
- You are willing to sign a consent form after understanding the risks and benefits.

This trial studies collagen cross-linking, a procedure meant to strengthen a weakened cornea in people with keratoconus. It may help slow the bulging/weakening of the cornea and improve vision, and the study also uses special imaging to check changes over time.
This trial tests a treatment called corneal collagen crosslinking to strengthen the tissue under a KPro type I (an artificial cornea). It may help reduce the risk of corneal melting in people who need a KPro.
This study tests a new suture-free (stitch-free) hydrogel—a clear gel that helps heal eye surface wounds after surgery—to see if it works safely and effectively. If you have an eye surface disease like a pterygium (growth on the eye) or corneal ulcer (sore on the cornea) that needs surgery, this trial may help determine if this gel can replace traditional stitches.
This trial tests whether a special collagen shield placed on the eye helps heal a scratch on the eye's surface (corneal abrasion) better than standard care. If you have a scratch on just one eye and are 18 or older, this study may be an option for you.
This trial tests a new clear gel patch that can be applied to corneal wounds (scars on the front of the eye) without needing stitches. The goal is to see if it helps heal corneal damage from injury or infection and is safe to use.
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.
