New eye injection shows promise for blurry vision from uveitis
NCT ID NCT05642312
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called vamikibart, given as an eye injection, for people with uveitic macular edema — swelling in the back of the eye caused by inflammation. 245 adults with this condition took part. The main goal was to see if the drug improves vision by at least 15 letters on an eye chart after 16 weeks, compared to a sham (fake) injection.
