Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether an experimental eye drop called d-MAPPS can reduce eye surface damage and ease symptoms like dryness and discomfort in adults with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD), a complication of stem cell transplants. Participants will use the drops four times a day for 90 days, and researchers will compare changes in corneal staining and symptom scores against a placebo. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve both the signs and the daily burden of this painful condition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
d-MAPPS ophthalmic solution (eye drops)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment to relieve painful dry eye and improve vision-related quality of life in people with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage pivotal trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is applied locally and may not fully reverse severe eye damage.

Exclusion Criteria: * Acute ocular graft-versus-host disease or ocular disease that may interfere with efficacy assessment. * Active ocular or periocular infection, ocular malignancy, or active herpetic keratitis. * Intraocular surgery, refractive surgery, or ocular laser procedure within 6 weeks before Baseline or planned during the study. * Change in systemic immunosuppressive therapy, topical glaucoma therapy, or oral tetracycline therapy within 30 days before Baseline. * Initiation within 30 days before Baseline or during the trial of topical cyclosporine, lifitegrast, tacrolimus, autologous serum eye drops, platelet-rich plasma eye drops, amniotic membrane products, or another prescription therapy intended to treat ocular surface disease. * Participation in another investigational study within 30 days before Screening or concurrent enrollment. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
