Clinical Studies in the Eye Clinic
Clinical studies in the eye clinic
Before novel drugs and medical devices are used to treat certain diseases in the general population, clinical trials must be conducted to ensure they are safe, effective, and better than previous therapies. During such studies, initially, more minor and later increasingly larger groups of patients receive the new therapeutic agents, and the success of the treatment is compared with the best standard treatment to date. This is essential in continuously improving our treatment options, from which our patients should benefit directly.
The Eye Clinic is currently involved in several drug and medical device studies for various diseases. If we are treating you for one of these diseases, you may be asked by our doctors whether you would like to take part in such a clinical trial. You can, of course, decline without any hesitation and without giving reasons. However, we would be delighted if you decided to participate and help us expand our treatment options for all patients.
You will find a selection of our current studies below. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact our study coordinator by e-mail.
