First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests a new gene therapy called KB801 for people with stage 2 or 3 neurotrophic keratitis, a rare eye disease where the cornea loses feeling and can develop sores that won't heal. The treatment is an eyedrop that delivers a protein to help the cornea repair itself. About 60 adults will receive either KB801 or a placebo to see if it safely heals the cornea.
