Filter by:The study used a new surgical technique: intraoperative fluorescence imaging,In the 1980s, some scholars proposed the concept of intraoperative fluorescein angiography.During vitrectomy, intraoperative fluorescein angiography under 3D microscope can guide the surgeon to observe the non-perfusion area and new blood vessels on the same screen for accurate retinal photocoagulation therapy.Through this technology, the primary retinal disease can be identified in time after the removal of vitreous hemorrhage during surgery, providing effective imaging evidence support for the design of further treatment.
In the United States, only 62% of the 37 million people with diabetes receive annual screening exams for diabetic retinopathy. One of the goals of the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 campaign is to increase diabetic retinopathy screening rates to 70.3%. Research indicates that low screening rates are associated with a variety of factors, including income levels, race and lack of access to care. Furthermore, because diabetic retinopathy frequently presents asymptomatically, non-adherence to screening results in postponed disease detection and a higher probability of vision loss. Currently, it is estimated that 9 million adults in the US are affected by diabetic retinopathy, and 1.8 million suffer from vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Importantly, the rates of vtDR vary greatly by race, with Hispanic individuals at 7.14% and Black individuals at 8.66%, compared to 3.55% in White individuals. Despite these alarming figures, the disease can be managed and vision loss can often be averted with early disease detection, thus highlighting the importance of increasing screening rates. A clear need exists for a diabetic retinopathy screening tool that can be deployed in primary care settings, addressing the shortage of specialist care and making screening more accessible to underserved populations. OPTDR01 will directly address these issues by providing accessible, high quality screening for diabetic retinopathy. OPTDR01 will automatically detect more than mild diabetic retinopathy (mtmDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (vtDR) in diabetic adults who have not previously been diagnosed with mtmDR or vtDR.
This study is open to adults with diabetic retinopathy. People who have non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy of moderate or high severity can join the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764524 helps people with diabetic retinopathy. The study also aims to find a suitable treatment plan for BI 764524. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. Participants in groups 1, 2, and 3 get BI 764524. Over 1 year, they get a different number of injections of the same dose of BI 764524 injected into 1 eye. During some visits, participants may get a sham control, which is done like an eye injection but without a needle, so that participants will not know how many injections of BI 764524 they received. Participants in group 4 only get a sham control. Participants in group 5 (only in the USA) get aflibercept or sham injections during some visits. Aflibercept is a medicine already used to treat diabetic retinopathy. Participants are in the study for one and a half years. During this time, they visit the study site at least 16 times. During this time, doctors regularly do eye exams and visual tests to assess the severity of participants' eye condition. After 1 year of treatment, researchers look at the number of participants with eye improvements. To do so, they compare eye damage and certain severe eye problems between the groups of participants. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Macular edema in diabetes, defined as retinal thickening within two disc diameters of the center of the macula, results from retinal microvascular changes that compromise the blood-retinal barrier, causing leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina and consequently retinal edema. Thickening of the basement membrane and reduction in the number of pericytes are believed to lead to increased permeability and incompetence of the retinal vasculature. This compromise of the blood-retinal barrier leads to the leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina with subsequent retinal edema. Hypoxia produced by this mechanism can also stimulate the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases retinal vascular permeability, causes breakdown of the blood-retina barrier and results in retinal edema. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of visual reduction in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The prevalence of DME globally is around 6.8 %. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness worldwide. DME is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that affects the macula, which is located at the center of the retina and responsible for central vision. Bangladesh is the 10th country in the world for the number of adults living with diabetes with some 7.1 million (5.3-12.0). In Bangladesh, it is therefore expected that diabetic secondary complications, like DR, will increase along with the rising trend of diabetes mellitus. The use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized in the treatment of many diseases. In recent years, millions of patients have been successfully treated with these biological agents. Ranibizumab is one such therapeutic monoclonal antibody for intraocular use. Ranibizumab is a humanized, recombinant, immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody fragment against vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and thus prevents choroidal neovascularization. The small size of ranibizumab allows for enhanced diffusion into the retina and choroid.
The goal of this prospective multicenter open label study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection Conbercept (IVC) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) combined with severe nonproliferative diabetes retinopathy (sNPDR). The main questions it aims to answer are: - mean changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) in comparison with baseline at 12 months after initial treatment - proportion of eyes with visual gain ≥15 letters in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and ≥2-step improvement in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) score after 12 months of the treatment - proportion of eyes actually underwent PRP treatment after 3 and 12 months of the treatment - mean changes in BCVA and CMT from baseline to monthly follow-up time point - complications and adverse effects
This trial aims to provide a digital retinal image dataset from Pakistan, graded by three specialists according to the severity of Diabetic Retinopathy. The dataset aims to improve research and patient care.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes. Early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes is the key to prevent visual impairment in DR patients. This study aims to use a non-targeted metabolomics detection technique combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry to analyze the metabolomics profile in aqueous humor sample of DR patents, and further explore the mechanism of the relationship between differential metabolites and their metabolic pathways with NLRP3 activation in DR inflammatory damage. DR patients with macular edema will receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment; these patients will be divided into two groups: responders group and non-responders group.
This study will demonstrate that tarcocimab 5 mg is superior to sham treatment in participants with moderately severe to severe NPDR.
