Eye infectious disorder

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 trial compares a steam mask — a fabric mask with self-hydrating beads heated in a microwave — to the traditional warm compress (a towel soaked in warm water) for treating chalazion, a common eyelid lump, in children aged 5 to 16. Researchers will measure whether the steam ma…

This study tests a community-designed strategy to deliver preventive chemotherapy to mobile and migrant populations in Nigeria, who often miss treatment for neglected tropical diseases like river blindness and schistosomiasis. Researchers will work with communities to map migrati…

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 trial tests a new antibiotic eye drop called SUM-191 for bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye). It has three parts: first, healthy volunteers get a single dose to check safety; second, healthy volunteers get multiple doses for 6 days; third, patients with pink eye get the drop…

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 phase 3 trial tests whether fusidic acid 1% eye drops can cure bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) better than a placebo. About 400 adults and children with confirmed bacterial infection will receive either the antibiotic or placebo drops for a short time. The study measures…

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 using a special eye care kit or following a detailed eye care protocol can better prevent eye complications in intensive care patients who are on breathing machines. 156 adult patients will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: standard care, care w…

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…

This study tests whether a lower dose (6%) or a higher dose (8%) of sevoflurane gas works better and causes fewer side effects when putting children aged 1 to 6 years to sleep for minor eye surgery. The main goal is to see which dose leads to less agitation and confusion when the…

This study looks at how people's immune systems react to infections from parasitic worms, which can cause serious health problems like swelling, blindness, or heart disease. Researchers will evaluate and treat up to 500 participants aged 3 to 100 using standard medical tests and …

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 will test 10,000 people in Cambodia for 57 different infectious diseases, including dengue, flu, and malaria. Researchers want to understand how these diseases spread and who is at risk. The goal is to give local health authorities the information they need to create b…

This study tests two different preparation designs (bevel vs. butt) for Peek endocrowns, which are tooth-colored caps for molars that have had root canals. Researchers will check how precisely each design fits the tooth, using a replica technique and microscope. The goal is to se…

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…
