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
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether netarsudil eye drops can prevent proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a scarring condition that can cause retinal detachment surgery to fail. Researchers will check how much of the drug reaches the back of the eye and whether it is safe. The trial enrolls 48 adults undergoing retinal detachment repair.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Netarsudil eye drops (Rhopressa)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple eye drop treatment to prevent vision-threatening scar tissue after retinal detachment surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1/2 trial with only 48 participants, so it is too small to prove effectiveness. The drug must reach the back of the eye, which is not guaranteed, and safety is still being assessed.
