NCT ID NCT05504291

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study tests if adding a chemotherapy drug called melphalan directly into the eye can help treat a childhood eye cancer called retinoblastoma, especially when cancer cells are floating in the eye's jelly-like fluid (vitreous seeds). About 26 children with newly diagnosed retinoblastoma will receive standard chemo plus these eye injections. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard chemo alone.
