Diabetes cataract study pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT04977427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to compare a tiny steroid insert (Dextenza) placed in the tear duct against standard steroid eye drops (prednisolone) after cataract surgery in people with diabetes. The goal was to see which better controls eye inflammation and swelling. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
