Could cord blood be the key to soothing dry eyes?

NCT ID NCT07089511

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether eye drops made from cord blood plasma can relieve symptoms of moderate to severe dry eye disease better than standard artificial tears. Researchers will compare the cord blood drops combined with cyclosporine to a control treatment of hyaluronic acid and cyclosporine. The trial aims to enroll 100 adults with dry eye and will measure changes in corneal staining after two months.

Cord blood platelet poor plasma eye drops

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more effective option for people with moderate to severe dry eye that doesn't respond well to artificial tears.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial comparing two treatments, so results may not be conclusive. The cord blood drops are experimental and may not work better than the standard treatment.
