Scientists hunt for new eye disease marker in fluid samples

NCT ID NCT03680794

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study measures levels of a protein called sCD160 in eye fluid and blood samples from 120 adults with diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion. Researchers want to see if sCD160 levels are linked to the severity of these eye conditions. Participants provide samples during routine eye surgery and undergo imaging tests. No treatment is given.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify sCD160 as a marker for eye disease severity, potentially guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures protein levels and does not test any therapy, so direct patient benefit is unlikely.
