ExCrossV - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
In this study, people will get a new kind of eye transplant.
They'll be randomly chosen (like flipping a coin) to get either a special treated cornea or a regular one.
Doctors will check on them for 2 years after the transplant to see how they're doing and to watch for any side effects.
Some people need a corneal transplant because their eye has too many blood vessels.
This study is for those people to help improve their vision and eye health.
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Who can join this eye study?
- People who need a special kind of eye surgery called high-risk penetrating keratoplasty
- They must not have certain serious eye diseases like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or ocular pemphigoid
- They cannot have eye cancer or uncontrolled high pressure in the eye (glaucoma)
What is Involved?
This study is trying to learn more about a new way to treat eye problems.
Doctors are testing if treating donated corneas before surgery helps people with serious eye issues caused by too many blood vessels.
They also want to understand why some people’s corneas get thin and weak.
This research could help make eye transplants safer and more effective.
