Endophthalmitis

This study tests a drug called felzartamab in people who received a kidney transplant and later developed microvascular inflammation (MVI), a type of injury to small blood vessels in the new kidney that can lead to serious problems. The trial includes 81 participants who will rec…

This study tests whether faricimab (Vabysmo), an FDA-approved eye injection for other retinal diseases, can safely treat abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye caused by presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome. About 25 adults with this condition will receive an initial injectio…

This study tests a new treatment called LB-DTK-CMV for people with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis that has not responded to standard antiviral medicines. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, specially trained to attack CMV, and is given as two infusions. The trial ai…

This study tests whether adding cyclosporine A eye drops to standard natamycin treatment helps people with fungal keratitis (a serious eye infection). About 150 adults with confirmed fungal infection will receive either a low or high dose of cyclosporine A or a placebo for 4 week…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding steroid eye drops to standard anti-parasitic treatment improves vision in people with acanthamoeba keratitis, a rare but serious eye infection. About 232 participants who still have eye inflammation after one month of standard care will rec…

This study tests whether injecting the antibiotic moxifloxacin directly into the cornea can help treat bacterial eye infections that don't improve with standard antibiotic drops. About 60 adults with stubborn corneal infections will receive either the injection plus drops or drop…

This study tests whether injecting anti-VEGF medication directly into the cornea can safely reduce abnormal blood vessel growth caused by herpes simplex keratitis. One hundred adults will receive either the injection plus antiviral eye drops or standard antiviral drops alone. Res…

This study tests a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence to detect 16 different eye diseases from photos taken with the phone. The AI works entirely on the device, so no internet is needed. Researchers will compare its accuracy to eye doctors and see if non-medical use…

This pilot study is testing whether a portable DNA sequencing device (Oxford Nanopore MinION) can quickly and accurately identify the bacteria or fungi causing endophthalmitis, a severe eye infection. Researchers will compare the new method's results and speed against standard la…

This study is testing advanced lab techniques, like genetic sequencing and multiplex PCR, to improve how doctors diagnose complex eye infections such as endophthalmitis and severe corneal abscesses. Researchers will compare the new methods to standard cultures to see if they find…

Infectious uveitis is a serious cause of blindness, but current tests often miss the culprit. This study uses a broad panel of molecular tests to detect bacteria, viruses, and fungi in eye fluid from 100 patients with suspected infectious uveitis in China. The goal is to map whic…

This study aims to uncover genetic mutations or variations linked to uveitis, an inflammatory eye disease. Researchers will collect blood samples from 1,500 patients with uveitis (including infectious types) and analyze their DNA. The goal is to better understand what causes the …

This study tracks 71 people who had endophthalmitis, a serious eye infection, to see how their eye blood vessels change after recovery. Using special cameras and scans, researchers will take pictures of the back of the eye at 7 days and 1 month after the infection clears. The goa…
