Amniotic gel could patch macular holes without complex surgery

NCT ID NCT06433284

First seen Apr 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests a new gel made from donated amniotic membrane to treat large macular holes, a condition that blurs central vision. The gel is injected into the eye during surgery to help close the hole. Researchers will compare this method to the standard flap technique in 26 adults. The goal is to see if the gel works as well or better, with fewer complications.

Active substance

decellularized human amniotic membrane hydrogel

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a safer, easier way to close large macular holes and improve vision without the need for complex flap surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 26 participants. The hydrogel is new for eye surgery, so its safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. There may be risks like infection or inflammation.
