Cenegermin Eye Drops for Persistent Corneal Ulcers

Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect

Part of Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.

Stem cell eye drops for chronic cornea problems

This study tests whether a special substance from stem cells (called secretome) can help heal chronic surface problems on the eye that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It's for people with a stubborn scratch or defect on the cornea that has lasted more than 14 days.

Lufepirsen gel for persistent corneal epithelial defects

This Phase 2 trial tests whether a treatment gel called NEXAGON (lufepirsen) can improve healing and safety in people with a persistent corneal problem called PCED that hasn’t gotten better despite standard non-surgical treatments. You may be a candidate if your defect has lasted at least 2 weeks and hasn’t improved recently, and if you don’t have certain eye infections or other eye conditions.

RGN-259 eye drops for neurotrophic keratopathy with persistent corneal defects

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a 0.1% RGN-259 eye drop can safely improve a stubborn corneal wound in adults with neurotrophic keratopathy (nerve-related corneal healing problems). You may qualify if you still have an eye surface defect after at least a week of standard treatments, and you meet specific measurements for corneal sensitivity and vision.

Testing a new eye drop for corneal scars

This trial tests a new eye drop to see if it can safely and effectively reduce corneal scars. It is for people who have a recent corneal injury (within the last month) that resulted in a scar that affects their vision.

Eye drops/treatment to heal stubborn cornea surface damage

This Phase 2 trial tests a locally delivered cell-based treatment (allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal long-lasting damage to the eye’s clear surface (the cornea). It may help if your cornea epithelium (surface layer) won’t improve even after standard non-surgical treatments.
