Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between DME and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA impacts millions of North Americans, many of whom are undiagnosed. The investigators aim to evaluate if a relationship exists between the two diseases, whether or not the severity of OSA impacts the severity of DME, and whether treating OSA results in better treatment outcomes for DME. The study will involve the standard of care provided for both DME (involving anti-VEGF injections) and OSA (involving continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] machine).Approximately 150 subjects are expected to be enrolled in this study. In summary: Question 1: Is there a correlation between DME and OSA? Question 2: Is there a relationship between the severity of DME (CRT and vision) and OSA (AHI index)? Question 3: Does treating OSA result in improving DME metrics, and does it neutralize the outcomes at 1 year compared to OSA negatives.
The Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) approved the reimbursement of the slow release FAc implant (ILUVIEN) and it is now available for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in persons who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. We performed a retrospective 12-month audit to assess the efficacy and safety of the FAc implant in our clinical practice.
- Main objective: Inflammation factors in imaging techniques of diabetic macular edema - Prospective observational design - Disease under study: Diabetic macular edema - Methodology: Collection of the image data in the usual control (baseline visit, 4th month) - Population under study and total number of subjects Diabetics with macular edema. - Approximate N: 80 pacients. - Expected duration of the study: 12 months.
Macular edema is the main cause of low vision in diabetics. They continue looking for new treatment alternatives. The nutritional supplement Alzer, is a powerful antioxidant that together with Diamel, a supplement that has shown efficacy in metabolic control, could be a therapeutic option. Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the Alzer Diamel combination in mild and moderate macular edema. Material and method: A randomized double-blind phase II clinical trial versus placebo will be conducted in 64 patients, who will be randomly assigned to two groups, one will receive Alzer + Diamel and another will receive placebo from Alzer and Diamel. All patients will undergo clinical, biochemical and ophthalmological evaluation during the study.
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the most common causes of vision loss in diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine if early intervention with micropulse laser treatment in eyes with good visual acuity (20/32 or better) will improve or stabilize vision loss due to the complications of diabetic macular edema.
This study is conducted to evaluate the safety of a single intravitreal injection of THR-149.
Given the high number of people with DMO and PDR, the need for patients to be seen at short follow-up intervals, the need for frequent treatments and the requirement for long-term follow-up, there is a very large workload in Hospital Eye Services related to DMO/PDR which is making it difficult for the NHS to cope with the demand, in particular, due to shortage of ophthalmologists. This is only expected to get worse given the increasing prevalence of DM. Identifying new ways of increasing the NHS capacity and efficiency without compromising the quality of care would greatly benefit the NHS. The purpose of this study is to determine whether successfully treated patients with DMO and PDR could be followed up without a face-to-face examination by an ophthalmologist. EMERALD will evaluate a new care pathway which will include multimodal retinal imaging and separate image assessment by trained ophthalmic graders. This new pathway will be compared to the current standard care pathway: for DMO: ophthalmologist evaluating patients in clinic by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and with access to OCT images; for PDR ophthalmologists evaluating patients in clinic by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. EMERALD will compare how accurate the new pathway is at determining which patients have active or inactive disease. The costs and acceptability of current and new models of care will also be compared.
This was a Phase III, randomized, double-masked, multi-center, active-controlled, two-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab 6 mg compared to the active control, aflibercept 2 mg used per authorized label, in subjects with visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME).
Intravitreal Ozurdex implant therapy improves visual outcome and OCT findings. The purpose of this study is that these results are correlated with the change of cytokine level known to be increased in DME patients.
