This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether an AI software can help doctors spot diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) earlier. About 340 adults with type 2 diabetes who have not been diagnosed with eye disease will be randomly assigned to get either standard care or standard care plus the AI analysis of their eye photos. The goal is to see if the AI leads to more correct referrals to eye specialists.

Why investors are watching

VUNO Inc. is running a 340-patient randomized trial testing its AI software, VUNO Med-Fundus AI, as a tool to help doctors detect diabetic retinopathy in routine care. For a small company, this trial is a direct test of whether its main product works in real-world settings, not just in a lab. A clear result could shape how clinics adopt the software and how the company positions its product.

If it works: A positive result could support wider use of the software in diabetes care, which might lead to more clinics buying or subscribing to it. That could strengthen VUNO's revenue base and its standing among eye-care and diabetes providers.

If it fails: The trial could fail to show that the AI improves detection in practice, or the company could face delays in completing or reporting the study. Trials often fail, and for a small company, a negative result could hurt confidence in the product and slow its commercial progress.
