First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial will test whether injecting adalimumab (Humira) into the eye during Boston KPro surgery is safe for 8 patients with severe corneal damage. The study focuses on side effects and tolerability, not yet on how well it works. It is for people who have run out of other options for corneal transplants.

What this could lead to
If safe, this could point toward a way to reduce inflammation and improve outcomes after complex corneal implant surgery.
