ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at a new way to help diagnose a rare type of eye cancer called primary intraocular lymphoma (LIOP) in patients who have uveitis, which is an inflammation of the eye. The researchers want to see if a simple blood test that analyzes special immune cells (called NK cells) can quickly identify whether someone has LIOP or just regular uveitis. This is important because getting a fast and accurate diagnosis can lead to better treatment and improve outcomes for patients.
To participate in the trial, you must be at least 18 years old and have uveitis or have been diagnosed with LIOP but not yet treated. You also need to give your consent to take part in the study. If you join, you can expect to provide a blood sample, which will be analyzed to help determine your condition. The goal is to make diagnosing this difficult-to-identify cancer easier and quicker, potentially saving valuable time in getting the right treatment.
