NCT ID NCT07519902
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an eye drop containing a human nerve growth factor (cenegermin) to see if it can heal persistent corneal epithelial defects (PCED) — stubborn wounds on the eye's surface that won't close with standard treatments. About 150 adults with PCED for at least 14 days will receive either the active drop or a placebo for up to 8 weeks, with follow-up for 40 weeks. The main goal is complete healing of the cornea by week 4, maintained through week 8.
