Filter by:A fellow eye controlled study of HUCNS-SC sub-retinal transplantation in subjects with bilateral GA AMD. All subjects will be assigned to HUCNS-SC transplantation.
To evaluate the safety of intravitreal (IVT) Fovista® administered in combination with anti-VEGF therapy.
Background: - Alzheimer s disease affects the brain and causes memory and thinking problems in older people. Macular degeneration (MD) is an eye condition. It is the leading reason that people over age 55 in the United States lose their central vision. Central vision is important for seeing fine details and for tasks like reading and driving. A feature of Alzheimer s disease is plaques in the brain. A feature of age-related MD is deposits in the retina in the eye. Researchers want to learn more about these diseases and find out if they are related. Objective: - To see whether there is a relationship between Alzheimer s disease and age-related macular degeneration. Eligibility: - People with or without Alzheimer s disease enrolled in another study. Participants must have someone to help them take part in this study. Design: - Participants will be screened through the other study. They will have 1 visit. The tests will take about 3 hours. - Participants will answer questions about their medical and eye history. - Participants will have an eye exam to test how well they see. Their eye pressure will be measured and their eye movements will be checked. - Participants will get eye drops to dilate their pupils. Researchers will take pictures of the retina and the inside of the eye. Researchers may measure the thickness of the retina. - Participants will continue to receive care from their regular eye doctor during and after the study.
The objective is to evaluate the safety of intravitreal Fovista® (anti-PDGF BB) administered in combination with anti-VEGF therapy.
This study is being done to determine the long-term safety and possible benefits of transplanted Human Central Nervous System Stem Cells (HuCNS-SC) for patients with Geographic Atrophy of Age-Related Macular Degeneration. This long-term follow-up study is limited to those individuals who received a transplant of HuCNS-SC cells into one of their eyes as part of the CL-N01-AMD study. No additional study product will be given in this 4-year long-term follow-up study.
Laser photocoagulation of the retina targeting the outer layers is an established therapy for proliferative retinopathy and macular edema from diabetic microangiopathy or retinal vein occlusion, centrals serous retinopathy, and extrafoveal subretinal neovascular membranes. However, collateral damage occurs and scotomas can result when using conventional lasers with pulse duration of 100ms and more. This is particularly relevant for laser treatments of the macula where the main therapeutic effect results from stimulation of the retinal pigment epithelium cells and photoreceptor damage is thought to be an unnecessary side effect. Recent experimental research with new laser devices using much shorter pulse duration has shown that photoreceptor damage can be greatly reduced and the retinal pigment epithelium selectively targeted, hence the term selective retinal pigment epithelium laser therapy (SRT). Investigators hypothesize that SRT is equally effective as standard laser photocoagulation for macular disease but minimizes local visual field defects. In this study, patients with central serous retinopathy, macular edema from diabetic microangiopathy or branch vein occlusion, and non-exudative age-related macular degeneration will be treated with SRT. Patients will be assessed 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment.
SHIFT-2 is a national, multi-center, non-randomized, open label trial of aflibercept in patients with wet age related macular degeneration who have incomplete response with routineranibizumab treatment.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal administration of Fovista® administered in combination with Lucentis® compared to Lucentis® monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal administration of Fovista® administered in combination with either Avastin® or Eylea® compared to Avastin® or Eylea® monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
