Filter by:This is a phase 3 study to confirm the efficacy in reduction of intraocular pressure and safety of PHP-201 ophthalmic solution in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
A randomized active-controlled multi-site double-masked 28 day study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of QLS-101 versus timolol maleate Preservative Free (PF) 0.5% ophthalmic solution in subjects with normal tension glaucoma
Glaucoma is defined as progressive neuropathy of the optic nerve. It is an important cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Lowering the intraocular pressure is the only proven treatment for this neurodegenerative disease. However, there is ongoing research looking at another modifiable risk factor that affects the development and progression of this disease. Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoacease) is a tree species that has been used in traditional medicine for several hundred years to treat various diseases include improving vascular perfusion. We propose a study examining the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract supplementation on ocular perfusion using optical coherence tomography angiography.
Glaucoma is a complex disease that can result in progressive vision loss. There are no treatments that restore vision lost to glaucoma. However, recent studies have shown that vision can be improved by non-invasive brain (NIBS) stimulation and visual training. In this study, we aim to compare and find out the optimal non-invasive brain stimulation model (transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)) for improving peripheral vision in glaucoma patients. The proposed treatment is the application of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) onto the participant's head, with brain stimulation aimed at the Primary Visual Cortex toward the occipital pole. The investigators hypothesize that the tES will enable higher performance in the reading task and secondary measures due to an increase in the cortical excitability of the stimulated brain cells, and tRNS will generate the greatest acute improvement in peripheral vision than either a-tDCS, tACS, or sham stimulation.
The clinical trial is aimed to evaluate the anti-neovascular effect of KDR2-2 suspension eyedrop in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma. Fourty subjects would receive either 0.96 or 3.84 mg/per day/eye, in a QID fashion, ×7 days (those without complications can continue to 28 days). The anti-neovascular effect of KDR2-2 on iris neovascularization would be evaluated at day 1, day 7, day 14, day 28 after KDR2-2 usage.
Evaluating the safety and tolerability of QLS-101 versus timolol maleate ophthalmic solution in glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Tafluprost / Timolol in controlling ocular hypertension, as measured by mean change in intra-ocular pressure (IOP) from baseline to after 6 months of treatment from initiation, in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT), who do not respond sufficiently to initial topical treatment, in routine clinical practice.
The HANITA Glaucoma Filtration Device is intended to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients where medical and conventional surgical treatments have failed.
This study is looking at changes in vision and visual function before and after a six month trial of a daily medical food called GlaucoCetin, formulated with ingredients to support and protect the optic nerve cells. Open angle glaucoma patients will be randomized to receive either a placebo or the medical food for 6 months. We hope to learn if this medical food can improve the vision of our glaucoma patients and to report the findings obtained to the general public.
Glaucoma is a blinding optic neuropathy that affects 60 million people worldwide. Of all the types of existing glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common etiology. The therapeutic arsenal today includes drug lowering treatments, lasers and surgery. The most frequent glaucoma surgeries are, in France, trabeculectomy and non-perforating deep sclerectomy (NPDS). These are two filtering surgeries whose principle is to lower the intra ocular pressure (IOP) by creating an evacuation path of the aqueous humor from the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye to the space subconjunctival creating a filtration bubble (FB). These two procedures are currently considered the gold standard. They can be performed alone or at the same time as cataract surgery. The short-term complications encountered with these techniques are early hypotonia and its attendant complications (choroidal detachment, hypotonic maculopathy, hemorrhages, etc.), the most common cause of which is conjunctival leakage from the bubble. In the medium term, increases in blood pressure with deep AC testify to a scleral flap that is too tight which may require suture lysis. Finally, the problems of excessive conjunctival-Tenon healing concern 25 to 30% of those operated on and are responsible for the majority of late blood pressure increases. In the longer term, the most common complication is cataracts; the rarest, but most serious complication is infection of BF, which occurs more readily when the walls of the FB are ischemic or even perforated. It can be complicated by an extremely serious endophthalmitis. A new minimally invasive therapeutic option has been developed limiting per- and post-operative complications. Unlike traditional techniques which present an ab externo approach, the ab interno approach of the new technique proposed consists of the implantation of a tube of collagen 6 mm in length and 45 µm of light called Xen® through the AC .
