Recommendation ID
TA467/1
Question

NICE agreed that further research was needed because there is currently no clinical- or cost-effectiveness evidence evaluating the use of Holoclar in both eyes in bilateral patients. The committee was aware of the ongoing HOLOCORE trial which is recruiting both unilateral and bilateral patients, but only evaluates the success of a second transplant in 1 eye rather than transplant success in both eyes.
