All recruiting trials (15)

• Automated AI system to detect diabetic retinopathy in adults with diabetes

  A AI-based software device is being tested to automatically detect diabetic retinopathy from retinal images in adults with diabetes.

  Recruiting Digital Diagnostics, Inc. · Jacksonville, Florida · NCT07844317

• N-acetylcysteine for diabetic retinopathy in adults with type 2 diabetes

  This study tests whether taking N-acetylcysteine for three months can help people with type 2 diabetes who have mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 4 Ain Shams University · Cairo and 1 other locations · NCT07634991

• Early imaging changes with faricimab versus biosimilar ranibizumab for diabetic retinal disease

  This trial will see if faricimab or a biosimilar ranibizumab causes different early OCT and OCTA imaging changes in adults with diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema who need anti-VEGF injections.

  Recruiting Osijek University Hospital · Osijek · NCT07520045

• Finding protein biomarkers for AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment

  This project will test whether proteins found in blood and eye fluids can help diagnose or predict outcomes for adults with AMD, diabetic retinopathy, or retinal detachment.

  Recruiting Fondazione G.B. Bietti, IRCCS · Roma, Italy · NCT07500324

• Diabetic retinopathy prevalence and risk factors at a Da Nang hospital

  We will find how common different stages of diabetic retinopathy are and which clinical or lab factors are linked to it among adults with diabetes treated at a Da Nang hospital.

  Recruiting Da Nang Family General Hospital · Da Nang · NCT07468058

• AI-assisted retinal photo screening for adults with diabetes

  This will test whether adding the VUNO Med®-Fundus AI tool to routine retinal photo screening helps adults with type 2 diabetes get more accurate referrals for diabetic retinopathy.

  Recruiting VUNO Inc. · Incheon, Gyeonggi-do · NCT07378956

• New-generation diabetes medicines and the onset of diabetic retinopathy

  This study will test whether newer diabetes medicines (SGLT2 and DPP‑4 inhibitors) can delay diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 diabetes who've had the disease for more than five years and have been on diabetes medications for 2–3 years.

  Recruiting Alexandria University · Alexandria · NCT07351786

• PRONTO-EYE rideshare program to help people with diabetic retinopathy get to eye appointments

  This project tests whether a rideshare transportation program (PRONTO‑EYE) helps people with diabetic retinopathy who have Medicaid get to ophthalmology appointments more often.

  Recruiting University of Illinois Chicago · Chicago, Illinois · NCT07296952

• DRISTi AI screening for diabetic retinopathy

  This will test whether the DRISTi artificial-intelligence software can correctly detect diabetic retinopathy from retinal photos in adults with diabetes.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Artelus AI · Oxford, North Carolina and 1 other locations · NCT07222293

• My Eyes, My Light — community eye screening in Char Fasson

  This project tests whether a community-based screening program can find treatable eye problems in people aged 35 and older who live in Char Fasson, Bangladesh.

  Recruiting Data Yakka, Inc. · Char Fasson, Bhola · NCT07135570

• AI-assisted eye screening for diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration in outpatient clinics

  This project will test whether the VeriSee AI software helps doctors find diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration earlier in adults with diabetes or people aged 50 and older.

  Recruiting National Taiwan University Hospital · Taipei · NCT07069647

• Using eye exam results to guide diabetes care for people with diabetic retinopathy in Dinajpur

  This project will try sending specific diabetes management recommendations based on patients' eye exams to diabetes doctors to see if people with diabetes and diabetic retinopathy reach WHO blood sugar targets more often.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Orbis · Dinajpur Sadar, Dinajpur and 1 other locations · NCT06968637

• Using voice reminders and free reading glasses to boost diabetes eye care in Dinajpur, Bangladesh

  This project will test whether automated voice-message reminders that talk about vision-loss risk, combined with free reading glasses, help people with diabetes in Dinajpur, Bangladesh keep their diabetes and eye appointments and get better patient-centered care.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Orbis · Dinajpur and 1 other locations · NCT06968611

• Investigating metabolic and lipid profiles in diabetic eye disease

  This study is trying to see how blood and urine samples from people with diabetes relate to eye damage caused by diabetic eye disease and if gut bacteria play a role in this.

  Recruiting Hywel Dda Health Board · Llanelli, Wales · NCT06914778

• VeriSee AI for screening macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy

  This trial will test whether the VeriSee AI software can help doctors screen for age-related macular degeneration in adults 50+ and diabetic retinopathy in diabetic adults 20+.

  Recruiting National Taiwan University Hospital · Taipei, Taiwan · NCT06843499
