Hydrogel for corneal wound repair
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new hydrogel glue that helps heal a damaged cornea (the clear front part of the eye) without needing stitches. It may help people with certain corneal defects from injury or after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a corneal defect (a wound or hole in the clear front part of your eye) with at least 300 microns of tissue thickness in that area
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You do not have severe dry eye, eye infections, or other serious eye surface conditions
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or other major health problems
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new hydrogel glue that may replace stitches during eye surface repair surgery. It could help your eye heal faster and more comfortably after procedures like pterygium removal or corneal repair.
This trial tests if using special cells from your own urine can help repair the inner layer of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye). It may be an option if you have damage to these cells and have already had at least one cornea transplant.
This trial tests an experimental eye drop (STSP-0902) for a condition called neurotrophic keratitis, where the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) gets scratches or sores because nerves are damaged. The drop contains a growth factor to help the eye heal. You might be eligible if you have a persistent scratch or sore on your cornea that has not improved for at least a week.
This study tests a new treatment that uses your own stem cells to repair a damaged cornea after a chemical burn. It may help reduce scarring and improve vision.
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.
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.
