Could a plasma treatment beat serum for aniridia eye damage?
NCT ID NCT05400590
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two treatments made from patients' own blood—autologous serum and growth factor-rich plasma—to see which helps heal the cornea better in people with aniridia, a rare eye condition. Researchers will test these treatments on corneal cells in the lab, using blood and cell samples from 24 participants (12 with aniridia and 12 healthy controls). The goal is to find a way to reduce scarring and improve healing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- growth factor-rich plasma and autologous serum
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a better treatment for corneal clouding in aniridia patients, potentially reducing scarring.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage lab study with only 24 participants, so results may not translate to real-world healing or benefit all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: For patients with aniridia: * With aniridia * Patient weighing more than 43 kg * If the patient is being treated with autologous serum, a delay of 8 weeks after the last blood collection * If a blood donation has been made, a delay of 8 weeks must be respected after the last donation For controls: * Non-aniridia (no clinical signs) * Weighing more than 43 kg * Matched to a case for sex and age +/-10 years * No known diabetes * If a blood donation has been made, a delay of 8 weeks must be respected after the latter Exclusion Criteria: * Insufficient sample volume * No conjunctival print * HBV, HCV, HIV serology positive * Aniridia not genetically confirmed for cases For each patient excluded, a new patient will be included in order to maintain the number of patients required for data analysis.
