Early immune therapy may save sight in rare eye disease

NCT ID NCT03399175

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether starting strong anti-inflammatory drugs early can help control Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, a rare condition that causes eye inflammation and vision loss. About 40 people with newly diagnosed VKH will receive high-dose steroids and immune-suppressing medicines. Researchers will track eye health using special tests over at least one year to see if early treatment reduces damage.
