Filter by:Aflibercept (Eylea®) and ranibizumab (Lucentis®) are an anti-VEGF, but there are differences between the two drugs. To determine and compare whether intraocular aflibercept and ranibizumab decreases rubeosis iridis (RI) in patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG).
The proposed trial a "Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled "first in-human" Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Single Ascending Oral Doses of PBF-677 in Male Healthy Volunteers" (Protocol Code No:CUNFI-1509 EudraCT No:2015-003546-57) will be a single-centre, randomized, double-blind, dose escalation study without therapeutic benefit, in which PBF-677 will be administered as single, oral, ascending-dose to volunteers. Up to four different rising doses (100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg and 600 mg) will be tested in groups of 8 participants; in each dose level participants will be randomized to active drug or placebo in a 6:2 fashion. As this will be the first time that PBF-677 in going to be administered to humans, as a safety measure a stepwise drug administration will be performed in each cohort. The volunteers of each cohort will be divided in 3 blocks/subgroups: Initially, one volunteer will receive active drug (subgroup 1). After 48h of safety and tolerability assessment, a second subgroup of 3 volunteers will receive 2 active drug and 1 placebo and after further 48h of safety and tolerability assessments a third subgroup of 4 volunteers will receive 3 active drug and 1 placebo. After evaluation of safety, parameters of corresponding dose level the process will replicate one week afterwards in the following dosages. The principal variable safety and tolerability of PBF-677 will be evaluated with physical records (Electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, blood chemistry and haematology, conducted before, during and after study course). Assessment of the pharmacokinetic profile (Maximum plasma concentration of the drug (peak) after single dose (Cmax),Time necessary to reach Cmax (tmax), Area under the time-concentration curve to "zero" to time "t" (AUC0t), and Elimination half-life (t1/2) of PBF-677 will be included as secondary variable.
This study was to assess the distinct expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3, and calcium-sensing receptor, in human trabecular meshwork between normal and glaucomatous eyes.The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 13, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 and calcium-sensing receptor in the trabecular meshwork tissues were examined by streptavidin-peroxidase immunohistochemical staining method and western blot, and histological changes of trabecular meshwork were studied by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining.
This study will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of Bimatoprost SR compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty in participants with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are not adequately managed with topical IOP-lowering medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (e.g., due to intolerance or nonadherence).
1. To administer a questionnaire to patients seen by Wills Eye Glaucoma Department physicians at Wills Eye Hospital assessing satisfaction with their office visit, vision related quality of life, and related issues. 2. To collect and de-identify information from each participant's medical chart related to their care including information pertaining to demographics, disease severity, and prior and current treatment 3. To assess the correlations between demographic factors, vision related quality of life, eye disease, and treatments with patient satisfaction survey responses.
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a well-recognized way to lower eye pressure in treatment of glaucoma. This treatment is performed for 180 degrees or 360 degrees, and studies at academic centers have shown mixed results when comparing the success rates of 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Both protocols are now typically done by comprehensive ophthalmologists. However, there is no data that compares success rates of 180 degrees and 360 degrees in the community setting.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the surgical outcomes of the micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (mTSCPC) in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma; analyze intraocular pressure lowering effect; and correlate related treatment parameters pending enrollment of sufficient numbers of dark pigmented versus light pigmented eyes.
The purpose of this study is to build a database of results from a new test that measures contrast sensitivity (the Spaeth-Richman Contrast Sensitivity Test (SPARCS)). Contrast sensitivity is an important part of your ability to see. When contrast sensitivity decreases, you are less able to see objects and detect motion. For instance, if you have decreased contrast sensitivity, you might be less able to read, see in the dark, drive, hit a ball, or walk safely. Decrease in contrast sensitivity leads to a decrease in quality of life.
The study is investigating Intra ocular pressure (IOP) by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, Dynamic Contour Tonometry, and the Corvis ST tonometer.
The purposes of this study are to determine the optimal concentration of DE-117 ophthalmic solution compared to the placebo ophthalmic solution and to determine if intraocular pressure reduction after 4 weeks of treatment with DE-117 ophthalmic solution is non-inferior to latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%.
