Filter by:This is a clinical study where patients with diabetes and a vision threatening eye condition called "Diabetic Macular Edema" receive four injections into the eye at monthly intervals. The patients will already have tried the standard of care without complete success. The patients will be randomized to receive either a high dose, a low dose or a sham control treatment. The study will evaluate whether the new treatment improves vision and whether it changes the underlying course of the disease in the eye.
This is a one month pre post intervention study. Subjects with diabetic macular edema were given intravitreal anti VEGF (Aflibercept) injection. Central retinal thickness, macular electrophysiology, and visual acuity were observed one week and one month after injection was given to the eye to describe early anatomical, physiological, and clinical changes. We hypothesized that changes to these outcomes can be found and documented.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate retinal thickness change and the occurrence of central structural retinal changes after uneventful small-incision cataract surgery in eyes with asymptomatic early stages of epiretinal membrane.
A two part, multi-center study consisting of a Phase 1b open label, sequential dose escalation followed by a Phase 2a randomized, double-masked, dose expansion evaluating OPT-302 in combination with aflibercept in participants with persistent central-involved Diabetic Macular Edema.
Between December 2016 and June 2017 a total of 40 eyes from 40 diabetic retinopathy patients with diabetic macular edema were recruited at the Ophthalmologic Clinic of University "G. d'Annunzio", Chieti-Pescara, Italy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate which anti-inflammatory treatment is best at preventing postoperative inflammation following cataract surgery. We want to compare topical prophylaxis with NSAID eye drops to topical prophylaxis with a combination of NSAID and prednisolone. We also want to compare topical prophylaxis with eye drops to drop-less surgery where the anti-inflammatory drug is administered to the subtenonal space at the conclusion of the surgical procedure. In addition, we want to investigate if topical anti-inflammatory prophylaxis should be initiated preoperatively or postoperatively. The primary outcome is change in central macular thickness, measured by optical coherence tomography, 3 months after surgery.
To determine whether a combination of intravitreal aflibercept and pranoprofen eyedrops or nutraceutical support provides additional benefit over IVA monotherapy for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration.
This is a phase 4 prospective, nonrandomized, open label, interventional clinical trial. Study eyes will receive 5 required initial monthly Intravitreal Aflibercept (IAI) doses of 2 mg followed by 2q8 IAI for a total of 52 weeks; only one study eye from each patient will be enrolled.
Patients will be examined before and after surgery with a stand-alone OCT and intraoperative microscope integrated OCT
Both aflibercept and bevacizumab have been shown to improve vision in eyes with DME. In eyes with DME and at least moderate vision loss, both aflibercept and bevacizumab were also shown to be successful in many eyes. However, aflibercept was shown to be more effective at improving vision, on average, at 1 year and at 2 years. Due to the large cost difference between the two drugs, many clinicians and patients are choosing to initiate treatment with bevacizumab and then switch to aflibercept depending on the eye's response to bevacizumab treatment. However, there is no scientific evidence that this treatment strategy is as effective at improving vision as initiating treatment with aflibercept. Patients and clinicians do not know if this approach ultimately has deleterious effects on visual acuity. If starting with aflibercept is not better than starting with bevacizumab and switching to aflibercept if needed, the potential cost savings to future patients and the health care system would be substantial. However, if starting with aflibercept is better, then patients, clinicians, and health care providers can make informed decisions for how to best treat patients with DME and at least moderate vision loss. Study Objectives To compare the efficacy of intravitreous aflibercept with intravitreous bevacizumab + deferred aflibercept if needed in eyes with CI DME and moderate vision loss
