Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for Keratoconus (CXL Trial)
Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by Peschke Meditrade, GmbH
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Age 6 to 18 years
Having a diagnosis of progressive keratoconus
Must not have
Previous ocular condition in the eye(s) to be treated that may predispose the eye for future complications (e.g., herpes simplex, herpes zoster keratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, corneal melt, or corneal dystrophy)
Timeline

Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is for a new, less-intense cross-linking treatment for people with progressive keratoconus who can't comply with the current, more-intense treatment procedures required by clinical trials.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6 to 18 with progressive keratoconus, a condition affecting the eye's shape. It's specifically for those who can't follow standard treatment protocols due to certain conditions. Participants must be able to attend follow-up visits and have not previously had issues with corneal healing or sensitivity to study medications.
What is being tested?
The UV-X system is being tested in this trial, which involves using riboflavin (a type of vitamin B2) and UVA light to strengthen the cornea through a process called corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL). This method aims to halt the progression of keratoconus.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort in the eye, temporary vision changes, risk of infection, inflammation or scarring of the cornea. Long-term risks are still being studied but could involve changes in corneal shape.
