Eye fluid holds clues to saving sight in kids with retinoblastoma
NCT ID NCT04959097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects medical information and fluid from the front of the eye (aqueous humor) from up to 800 children with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer. Researchers aim to find biological markers in the fluid that can predict whether the eye can be saved with treatment. The study does not test a new treatment but gathers data to improve future care.
