What the study statuses mean

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

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study takes skin or blood cells from 20 people with eye malformations and turns them into stem cells, which are then grown into tiny 3D eye-like structures (organoids) in a dish. Researchers will study these mini eyes to understand what goes wrong during development and test new treatments. The goal is to learn more about the genetic causes of these conditions, not to directly treat participants.
