Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the areas of stressed cells in the retina correlate to areas of disease identified in standard imaging and whether the images are helpful to identify potential areas of concern before symptoms or disease occurs. The main question it aims to answer is: - to evaluate patterns of increased autofluorescence FPF in the setting of geographic atrophy Participants will undergo FPF imaging using the OcuMet Beacon system.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of elamipretide in subjects with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the rate of change in the macular area of photoreceptor loss in subjects who receive a daily dose of elamipretide compared with those who receive a look-alike substance that contains no active drug, and what is the safety and tolerability of elamipretide daily subcutaneous injections. Participants will receive either once daily subcutaneous doses of 40mg elamipretide or placebo and the two treatment groups will be compared.
The goal of this prospective, multinational, multicenter observational study is to to predict conversion of early and intermediate AMD with functional vision to advanced AMD with irreversible loss of vision on an individual-based level over 2 years. The main objectives of this study are: - Identify and quantify focal and global alterations in the retina in regard to disease progression. - Assess the individual risk of disease progression in intermediate AMD patients converting to advanced AMD based on imaging. - Specify the course of disease in regard to the sequence of events that lead to the conversion to advanced AMD - Enhance the ability to classify AMD using artificial intelligence in addition to traditional models. All patients will be followed for 24 months with 6 month intervals to assess clinical changes. Monitoring of disease progression will be performed using the following routine in-vivo imaging procedures: - Scanning Laser Fundus Photography - Color Fundus Photography (CFP) - Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) Patients will be asked for their medical history. Standard ophthalmic examination, as well as a questionnaire on visual function will be carried out. No intervention will be performed during the study since no treatment is yet available within Europe. As soon as treatment is approved in the EU, patients in this cohort might receive treatment according to availability in their respective country and standard of care. If treatment will be performed, it will be as standard of care outside the study according to each country's standard of care and by EMA label.
The goal of this prospective, multinational, multicenter observational study is to assess and predict progression in non-foveal, non-vision compromising atrophic AMD on an individual-based level over two years. The main objectives of this study are: - Assess the individual progression rate of a patient in non-foveal, non-vision compromising atrophic AMD and assess personalized risk of progression based on imaging. - Identify and quantify focal and global alterations in the retina in regard to disease progression. - Evaluate the monitoring of AMD progression using approved AI algorithms. All patients will be followed for 24 months with 6 month intervals to assess clinical changes. Monitoring of disease progression will be performed using the following routine in-vivo imaging procedures: - Scanning Laser Fundus Photography - Color Fundus Photography (CFP) - Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) Patients will be asked for their medical history. Standard ophthalmic examination, as well as a questionnaire on visual function will be carried out. No intervention will be performed during the study since no treatment is yet available within Europe. As soon as treatment is approved in the EU, patients in this cohort might receive treatment according to availability in their respective country and standard of care. If treatment will be performed, it will be as standard of care outside the study according to each country's standard of care and by EMA label.
The complex and variable course of age-related diseases makes it all the more necessary to carry out personalised, reasoning-based examinations to improve the personalised assessment and management of AMD. However, functional assessment of AMD is most often based solely on visual acuity, and classifications of AMD are based solely on structural markers. There is therefore a need to improve the detection and functional assessment of this vision-threatening eye disease, by complementing and extending the standard assessments of clinical outcomes (COA)
Oral disulfiram (Antabuse®) has been shown to improve image-forming vision in animal models with retinal degeneration due to its ability to decrease Retinoic Acid synthesis and consequently reduce hyperactivity in the inner retina. The investigator will aim to evaluate the impact of oral disulfiram on the vision of patients with retinal degeneration who are being treated with the drug in the management of their concurrent alcohol use disorder.
The goal of this project is to conduct a clinical trial in 60 participants ranging from age 50-80 with small drusen who are at-risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study will evaluate the effects of 28g of goji berry intake or an equivalent amount and type of fiber, five days a week for six months, on visual health, gut microbiome profiles, skin carotenoid measures, and lipoprotein profiles..
This study is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of the VIS, LLC (VIS) Opti-K Low Vision Aid Device and treatment to provide vision improvement to patients with age-related macular degeneration.
This will be a randomized, comparative, parallel, clinical study to assess initial safety and tolerability of CG-P5 peptide eye drops compared to placebo in patients diagnosed with age-related wet macular degeneration
Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, RP, diabetic retinopathy (DR) are the most common blinding eye diseases in the world. Vision and visual field are often severely impaired, quality of life is reduced, and personal and family burdens are heavy. This kind of low vision people, can use visual AIDS and other instruments for visual rehabilitation training, maximize the function of residual vision, improve the quality of life. Beyes, HOLA, Acesight and OXSIGHT are among the latest eyeglasses devices that are expected to improve the quality of life for people with low vision. This research group intends to recruit advanced patients with primary glaucoma, AMD, RP, DR and other common blinding eye diseases who visited Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2021 to December 2022 to study the changes of visual function and quality of life after wearing this new type of head-worn visual aids, and analyze relevant factors combined with clinical data. To evaluate the effect and influencing factors of the new head-mounted visual AIDS on patients, and provide theoretical basis for subsequent clinical research.
