Phase 3 Trials
Laser Therapy
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty for Glaucoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing if a lower-energy version of a common glaucoma treatment is as effective as the standard treatment, and if repeating the lower-energy treatment yearly is better than waiting for the treatment to wear off.
Prostaglandin Analog
NCX 470 for Glaucoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Bronx, New York
This trial is testing NCX 470 eye drops to see if they can safely and effectively lower eye pressure in people with high eye pressure or glaucoma. The goal is to protect their vision by reducing the pressure inside their eyes. NCX 470 is a nitric oxide (NO)-donating bimatoprost with clinically demonstrated pressure-lowering effects.
Prostaglandin Analog
Bimatoprost SR for Glaucoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania
This trial tests a long-lasting eye medication called Bimatoprost SR. It is for people with certain eye conditions who can't use regular eye drops effectively. The medication works by helping fluid drain from the eye, reducing pressure. Bimatoprost has been widely used for glaucoma management, typically delivered via eye drops, but newer methods like sustained-release implants are being explored to improve efficiency.
Trials With No Placebo
Implant
MINIject™ Implant for Glaucoma
Recruiting1 award
New York, New York
This trial is testing a small device called the MINIject™ implant, which is designed to help lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. The device works by making it easier for fluid to drain from the eye, reducing pressure and potentially preventing vision loss.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing if a lower-energy version of a common glaucoma treatment is as effective as the standard treatment, and if repeating the lower-energy treatment yearly is better than waiting for the treatment to wear off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
