Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AL-8309B Ophthalmic Solution versus Vehicle administered as a topical ocular drop for the treatment for geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The FORESEE HOME is used in the recent years to detect Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) lesions. The device is capable of differentiation as to stages of AMD and early detection of changes including choroidal neovascularization (CNV) The Foresee HOME demonstrates a high level of sensitivity and specificity as to the different stages of AMD including newly diagnosed or early detection of CNV. The OCT May be use as well to identify choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Comparison between the two methods will allow better understanding of both devices. The FORESEE HOME can use as an assessment tool for the progression and success of the treatment given to AMD lesions. Therefore, evaluation the size and the location of the treated lesions may serve as an additional tool.
The macular pigment (MP) in humans consists of the yellow, blue-absorbing carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. The highest concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin are found in the fovea. Since light entering the eye passes through the MP before reaching the photo receptors it absorbs a significant portion of short-wavelength light. There is evidence that this absorbing properties of the MP as well as the ability of inactivating highly reactive oxygen species are protective for the retina. Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness among developed countries. The pathogenesis of this disease remains unknown. There is, however, evidence that low fruit and vegetable consumption increases the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Accordingly, it has been hypothesized that lutein supplementation may be beneficial in AMD. The present study investigates whether 6 months lutein supplementation increases MP optical density (OD), influences visual acuity, depth and dimension of central scotoma and alters symptoms in patients with AMD.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RN6G in patients with dry, age-related macular degeneration.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of anterior chamber paracentesis, brimonidine and oral acetazolamide to reduce intra-ocular pressure variations after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.
Efficacy and safety of MACUGEN in patients suffering from neovascular age-related macular degeneration in routine clinical practice at least as good as demonstrated in randomized multicenter clinical trials.
The study will assess the safety and efficacy of Everolimus (RAD001) alone or in combination with Lucentis in patients with neo-vascular age related macular degeneration (AMD)
The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3) factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.
Repeated exposure to topical antibiotics may alter the normal bacteria on the eye and in the nose and increase rates of resistance. This study will determine whether repeated short-term exposure to topical antibiotic drops which are commonly prescribed after eye injections to reduce the chance of infection increase rates of resistant bacteria which are normally found on the eye and in the nose. We hypothesis that certain commercially available antibiotics may increase rates of bacteria resistance more so than others.
The purpose of the study is to provide efficacy and safety data for monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal injections in Chinese patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study results will support the regulatory submission in China to make ranibizumab available for clinical use.
