New eye injection could restore sight in corneal swelling patients
NCT ID NCT07368959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a single injection of AURN001 in 120 adults with corneal swelling caused by endothelial dysfunction. The goal is to see if it improves vision and reduces corneal thickness compared to a placebo. Participants must already have an artificial lens in the eye and be candidates for corneal transplant surgery.
