NCT ID NCT07519902
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests an eye drop containing a human nerve growth factor (cenegermin) to see if it can heal persistent corneal epithelial defects — stubborn wounds on the clear front part of the eye that haven't healed with standard treatments. About 150 adults with such wounds will receive either the active drop or a placebo for up to 8 weeks, and doctors will check if the cornea is fully healed at 4 and 8 weeks. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to close these hard-to-treat eye injuries.
