This trial is enrolling people aged 18 and older who:

• Have corneal swelling due to corneal endothelial dysfunction, including Fuchs’ Dystrophy
• Can lie face-down for 3 hours after surgery
• Have eye measurements (vision and corneal thickness) within the study’s required range
• Have had cataract surgery

Additional criteria apply. A study doctor will determine final eligibility based on full medical and eye-health criteria.

The information gathered in clinical studies may help identify new treatment options in the future for people living with corneal edema. Study participants are often connected to specialists who understand their situation and can help answer questions from patients or their loved ones. Participants in research studies should expect to experience a professional clinical environment, be treated with compassion and respect, and have access to top quality study-related care during the clinical trial.

Most clinical trials will involve screening to confirm that a potential patient is, in fact, a match for that study’s criteria. Once verified and the patient has signed an Informed Consent Form, which clearly provides the details and purpose of the study to that individual and what it involves, participants can expect to attend scheduled appointments at a study clinician’s site. They may also receive a study treatment (also called an investigational product) or potentially a control (also known as placebo which contains no active treatment) and undergo additional screening and follow-up monitoring. Throughout the study, participants should experience a professional clinical environment, and be treated with compassion and respect.

There is no cost to participate in a clinical trial. Participants receive all study-related medical care and medications for the duration of the study at no cost. Likewise in many instances, participants may also receive reimbursement for time and travel.

In any clinical study for a new treatment, there are potential risks, such as side effects of the treatment or risks from the study activities. The study staff will explain these potential risks before participants decide whether to participate, and address any concerns.

No. Before a potential participant decides whether to take part in the study, the study staff will review the informed consent form with them and answer any questions. Once the consent form has been signed by the participant, the screening period of the study begins. During this period, the staff will review medical history and conduct any relevant assessments. Participants who meet all of the study criteria will be invited to participate

Yes. Participation in clinical trials is entirely voluntary. Even if a participant is already involved in a study, they may change their mind at any time, for any reason.
