• Polishing the Descemet membrane before endothelial keratoplasty for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

  This trial tests whether polishing the diseased Descemet membrane before injecting cultured endothelial cells helps improve graft adhesion and outcomes for people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

• Lying on your back after DMEK: 1 day versus 5 days

  This trial sees if lying on your back for five days after DMEK surgery helps the transplant stick better than lying on your back for one day for people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy or corneal failure.

  Recruiting University Hospital Heidelberg · Heidelberg · NCT07373821

• VALIDATING the SUCCESS Score to predict need for endothelial keratoplasty after cataract surgery in Fuchs dystrophy

  This study will test whether the SUCCESS Score, with corneal densitometry, can predict which people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy having cataract surgery will later need endothelial keratoplasty.

  Recruiting Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigación Sanitaria · Madrid, Madrid · NCT07265388

• DT-168 for people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who are having a corneal transplant

  This study will test whether DT-168 eye drops are safe, well tolerated, and how they act in people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who are scheduled for corneal transplant.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 2 Design Therapeutics, Inc. · Indianapolis, Indiana and 1 other locations · NCT07024693

• Comparing femtosecond laser-assisted versus conventional cataract surgery for people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

  This study will test whether femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery or conventional phacoemulsification better preserves corneal endothelial cells and vision in adults with moderate to severe Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who need cataract surgery.

  Recruiting Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University · Shanghai, Shanghai Municipality · NCT06966167

• Observing outcomes of posterior lamellar keratoplasty for eye conditions

  This study looks at how well two types of eye surgeries for conditions like Fuchs' dystrophy and bullous keratopathy work in helping patients see better over time.

  Recruiting Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville · Metz · NCT06859411

• Using N-acetyl cysteine eye drops to treat Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

  This study is testing if N-acetyl cysteine eye drops can help people with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy and cataracts feel better and improve their eye health before surgery.
