Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, comparative, parallel group study of the efficacy, safety pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of GNR-067 and Lucentis® in patients with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration.
The centre of the retina (macula) at the back of the eye contains cells that give us our central vision that we use for reading and recognising faces. These cells can be damaged by a disease called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), where new abnormal blood vessels grow through the macula and leak fluid. This can affect vision. In some cases, wet AMD can also cause a bleed under the macula, known as a submacular haemorrhage (SMH), which can lead to marked and persistent loss of vision in the eye. The current standard treatment for wet AMD is to give injections containing 'anti-VEGF' drugs into the eye. Anti-VEGF drugs reduce the leakage of fluid so that the macula can become dry again and sight can improve. Anti-VEGFs are also the current standard of care for SMH, mainly because there is no licensed treatment for the SMH itself (patients with SMH were excluded from most wet AMD studies). The purpose of this study therefore is to compare two treatments: 1. Standard treatment for wet AMD (anti-VEGF injections). 2. Standard treatment above plus surgery. This study will find out if having surgery alongside anti-VEGF injections can improve vision further over the current standard treatment of anti-VEGF injections alone.
RAZORBILL was an observational, multicenter, multinational, open-label, study designed primarily to investigate the influence of automated OCT image enrichment with segmentation information on disease activity assessment in nAMD patients treated with licensed anti-VEGFs
The purpose of this study is to investigate prospectively the recurrence rate of active macular neovascularization (MNV) and the visual outcome in patients with nAMD previously on a Treat and Extend regimen where treatment has been discontinued due to disease stability.
High throughput sequencing gives the opportunity to improve the genetic diagnosis for patients suffering from retinal dystrophies and specially from cone disorders. However, a large number of mutations are identified, mostly in introns of the genes, and in silico analysis are not sufficient to assign the pathogenicity of these mutations, without which the diagnosis confirmation cannot be done. For that purpose, a functional analysis of intronic variants of unknown significance detected in patients, with minigene splice assays in parallel with the analysis of the effect of the variant on splicing directly in the cells of the patient, by analyzing the RNA from leucocytes, fibroblasts, lymphoblastoïd cells or precursor of photoreceptor cells, which is the only proof of pathogenicity for variants
Study WR42221 is a Phase IIIb, global, multicenter, randomized, visual assessor-masked study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) 100 mg/mL delivered every 36 weeks (Q36W) compared with every 24 weeks (Q24W) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
ADVM-022-07 is an observational long-term extension (OPTIC-EXT) study assessing safety and efficacy of ADVM-022 gene therapy product, in subjects with neovascular, or exudative (wet), age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
This study is designed to investigate the safety, PK/PD, biomarker and early clinical effects of repeat GEM103 IVT injections.
this is a single In-Clinic Encounter With the Notal Vision Home OCT study. The study population will include up to 50 Age-related Macular Degeneration patients diagnosed with wet NV-AMD in at least one eye at the time of enrollment. All enrolled subjects should have at least one eye with active (wet) CNV (SRF and/or IRF) at the time of enrollment. All subjects will be enrolled at 1 site in the United States. in this study patients will be placed in a room with the Notal Vision Home OCT device and following a completion of a self tutorial will perform 3 unsupervised self-scans on each study eye (with a rest of ~5 minutes between self-scans). at the end of the testing sessions, the subject will be asked to complete subject user questionnaire.
In people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), the body makes too much of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This causes too many blood vessels to grow in a part of the eye called the macula. These blood vessels can damage the macula, causing dark spots and blurriness in central vision. The study drug, aflibercept, works by reducing VEGF levels in the eye.It has already been approved for patients to receive as a treatment for nAMD in a fixed 8-weekly or treat-and-extend dosing regimen after having received 3 monthly doses at the start of treatment. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how often patients received aflibercept and how their vision changed. The study will include patients with nAMD who had not received treatment to reduce VEGF levels in the eye before. These patients will have started treatment with aflibercept between January 2016 and November 2018. The study will include about 330 men and women who are at least 18 years old. All of the patients had received aflibercept eye injections based on their doctor's instructions. The researchers will use the patients' medical records from January 2016 to November 2020 to measure the following: - the number of aflibercept eye injections the patients received - how long the patients could wait between treatments - the change in the patients' vision - how many patients stopped treatment and why. - associations between patient and disease characteristics at the start of treatment with the number of aflibercept injections and patient's vision during treatment.
