Phacolytic glaucoma

This early-stage trial tests clonal fetal mesenchymal stem cells (cfMSCs) in 100 people with severe immune-related disorders or tissue damage. The goal is to see if the cells are safe and can reduce symptoms. Participants have no other treatment options left.

This early-phase study tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy in 9 people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded well to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and attack faulty immune cells. The main goal is to check safety an…

This pilot study tests whether placing a slow-release steroid insert (Yutiq) during glaucoma drainage surgery helps reduce scarring and keeps eye pressure lower. About 5 adults with glaucoma will receive the implant along with their surgery. Researchers will compare their pressur…

This study aims to create a tool that predicts which patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, or polymyalgia rheumatica) will develop serious side effects from long-term steroid use. Researchers will collect routine medical data—such a…

This registry enrolls up to 1,000 women aged 12–55 with rheumatic or autoimmune diseases who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Researchers will collect data from medical records and patient surveys to study pregnancy outcomes, disease activity, and medication use. No experiment…

This study offers free vision screenings to underserved adults over 40 living in affordable housing in Harlem and Washington Heights. The goal is to find eye problems like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy early and connect people with follow-up care. About 749 partic…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
