Filter by:The study will compare the safety of ophthalmic bevacizumab in vials versus pre-filled syringes in subjects diagnosed with a retinal condition that would benefit from treatment with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab, including: exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or branch retinal vein occlusion.
Aging epidemics in Singapore are rapidly increasing and Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) prevalence is significantly associated with older age. This study aims to understand the effect of consuming freeze-dried table grape powder on AMD in an older population.
In this multi-center study, possible effects of supplement treatment with oral phenolics on plasma CD-163 and progression of dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) via evaluating the CD163 before and after the prescription of this drug will be evaluated in patients with dry type AMD and Neo vascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Both AMD subgroups will be recruited. In terms of evaluation of the effects of phenolics (500 mg caplets/day) on AMD progression, patients will be randomized and divided into 2 subgroups i.e. (i) receiving phenolics supplementation; and, (ii) receiving placebo for 1 month. The phenolics/placebo caplets will resemble completely and be encoded at origin; Neither the participants nor the researchers will be informed about the codes until the end of the study.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of HLX04-O administered by intravitreal injection (IVT) with ranibizumab in patients with active wAMD.
The hypothesis of this study is to determine if there is a benefit afforded by the use of systemic Sildenafil to patients with choroidal and retinal degenerations and dystrophies, such as vitelliform degeneration, dry and reticular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as well as patients with hereditary and acquired retinal dystrophies such as retinitis pigmentosa and central serous retinopathy.
We will conduct a prospective non-interventional study including 400 early AMD patients (=600 untreated early AMD eyes, including both unilateral (AREDS IV) and bilateral (≥AREDS II)) over a minimum of 1 year to specifically investigate the morphological sequence of events preceding the conversion towards late AMD. All patients will be followed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging every 4 months to detect the earliest focal sites of disease progression. As soon as focal areas of change are observed by the Vienna Reading Center (VRC), a targeted follow-up schedule will be triggered to investigate the events at that area of change in a targeted manner.
Delayed rod-mediated dark adaptation (RMDA), or delayed recovery of vision in a dark environment, is a functional biomarker (i.e., risk factor) for early age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This research plan is designed to elucidate the structural (anatomical) basis of this visual deficit using cellular- and subcellular level imaging of the retina and its supporting tissues in living people. An accurate map and timeline of structure-function relationships in persons tested for night vision will result in functionally validated structural endpoints for early AMD trials, as well as define major biologic effects for development into future treatments.
This is a double-masked, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of ALK-001 in participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Up to 200 participants will receive ALK-001 while up to 100 participants will receive a placebo.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease. It is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 55 in the U.S. Changes in the eye can make it difficult for they eye to adjust to low light. This is known as dark adaptation. This is particularly significant in people with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD). Identifying and watching the early to middle stages of AMD and changes in dark adaptation might help researchers learn to stop the disease before it becomes severe. Taking vitamin A might help improve vision in people with RPD. Objectives: To see if taking 16,000 IU of vitamin A per day improves vision in people with RPD. Also to improve understanding of RPD and associated dark adaptation. Eligibility: Adults ages 50 and older with RPD and normal liver function Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and eye disease history Eye exam: The pupil will be dilated with eye drops. Pictures will be taken of the retina and the inside of the eye. Including the screening visit, participants will have at least 5 visits. They will be about once a month over 6 months and last 4-6 hours. Visits include: Questions about eye problems in certain light Eye exam Blood and urine tests Dark adaptation protocol: Participants will sit at a machine in a dark room. They will look into the machine and push a button when they see a light. This lasts 20-40 minutes. Participants will take a vitamin A supplement by mouth once a day for 2 months. They will record when they take the pills in a diary.
This study aims to validate the efficacy and safety of subthreshold laser photocoagulation on high-risk macular drusen in early age-related macular degeneration which has a high risk of conversion to exudative AMD.
