Suprachoroidal triamcinolone for macular edema from non-infectious uveitis after failed sub-Tenon injections
Official title: Suprachoroidal Triamcinolone in Macular Edema for Patients With Non-Infectious Uveitis Resistant to Subtenon Triamcinolon
Run by University of Baghdad · NCT07145008 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We will test whether a single suprachoroidal triamcinolone injection can improve vision and reduce central retinal swelling in people with macular edema from non-infectious uveitis who did not improve after sub-Tenon steroid injections.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with non-infectious uveitis causing macular edema of less than four months' duration that persisted despite posterior sub-Tenon triamcinolone are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with epiretinal membrane–associated macular edema, infectious uveitis, children under 18, or chronic macular edema beyond the specified duration are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Participants receive a baseline eye exam including vision testing, slit-lamp exam, and OCT retinal imaging. They then receive one suprachoroidal triamcinolone injection under topical anesthetic in a sterile operating-room setting with standard monitoring. Follow-up visits occur about 1 month and 3 months after treatment with repeat vision tests and OCT scans to measure change in visual acuity and retinal thickness. Participants are instructed to contact the clinic for new pain, redness, floaters, or worsening vision.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the procedure could improve vision and reduce central retinal swelling in patients whose uveitic macular edema did not respond to sub-Tenon steroid injections.
How similar studies have gone: Suprachoroidal delivery of triamcinolone and similar approaches have shown promising results in prior clinical work for uveitic macular edema, so this builds on emerging evidence.
