New eye drops aim to boost blood flow in diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma
NCT ID NCT07354477
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early study tests whether QLS-111 eye drops can improve blood flow to the back of the eye in people with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or certain types of glaucoma. Fourteen participants will use the drops twice daily for two weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in blood flow and vessel size using eye imaging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- QLS-111 ophthalmic solution
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new eye drop that improves blood flow in the back of the eye, potentially helping to manage diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early pilot study with only 14 participants. It is designed to test blood flow changes, not to prove the drops treat or cure the disease. The results may not lead to a treatment.
