NCT ID NCT02976766
Summary
This study tested whether gypenosides, a plant-based compound, could protect nerve fibers in the eye during acute optic neuritis. It involved 10 Chinese adults experiencing their first episode of optic neuritis within the past month. The trial was a small, terminated Phase 2 study comparing the treatment to a placebo to see if it helped preserve the thickness of the retinal nerve layer.
