ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called FB1001 for patients with specific eye conditions, including Acute Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma (APACG) and Non-Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). The goal is to see if the injections of this medication are safe and well-tolerated in patients experiencing these serious eye issues. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but it will involve individuals aged 40 and older who meet certain health criteria related to their eye conditions.

To be eligible, participants must have had recent symptoms of their eye condition and meet specific vision and pressure requirements. Throughout the trial, participants will receive either one or multiple injections of the study drug, and their health will be closely monitored. It’s important to note that certain health issues, like previous eye surgeries or other serious medical conditions, may disqualify someone from participating. If you or a loved one is considering joining this study, please discuss it with a healthcare provider to better understand the potential benefits and risks.
