Blood-Derived eye drops offer new hope for rare corneal disease
NCT ID NCT04604834
First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether eye drops made from a patient's own blood (autologous platelet-rich plasma, or APRP) can help heal the cornea in people with neurotrophic keratopathy, a chronic condition where the cornea loses sensation and cannot heal properly. About 39 adults with this disease will try three different treatments over 12 weeks: APRP drops alone, standard artificial tears, or a combination of both. The goal is to see which approach best repairs corneal damage and improves symptoms.
