A Clinical Trial to Asses Efficacy and Safety of Cord Blood Eye Drops in Neurotrophic Keratopathy

Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, two-arms phase I/II, clinical trial, in which 42 patients will be enrolled with the principal objective to evaluate the efficacy through changes in lesion size and, secondary, to evaluate the safety and efficacy through corneal sensibility, corneal opacity, visual acuity and complications of Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK). Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive experimental treatment (cord blood eye drops) or conventional treatment (artificial tears and therapeutic contact lens).
