Filter by:Intravitreal aflibercept has been approved for the treatment of visual impairments due to diabetic macular oedema (DMO) in Europe and the US in August 2014 and July 2014 respectively. The main objectives of this observational cohort field study are to evaluate effectiveness of intravitreal aflibercept and to describe follow-up as well as treatment patterns in anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment naïve patients with DMO in routine clinical practice in the United Kingdom.
Title of study: Effects of Ranibizumab to delay or regression non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR) with DME assessed by microaneurysm changes: A pilot study Objectives Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of visual impairment. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factors have demonstrated therapeutic benefits in diabetic macular edema (DME). We aimed to prospectively analyze the effects of early intensive treatment using intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy patients with macular edema. Primary objective: To investigate other efficacy endpoints including other visual acuity, anatomical change in mild-to-moderate NPDR with DME after intravitreal Ranibizumab injection from baseline through 6 months after treatment. Secondary objectives: To compare microvascular changes assessed by microaneurysm counts and perifoveal non-perfusion area changes and safty in eyes of mild-to-moderate NPDR with DME after intravitreal Ranibizumab injection from baseline through 6 months after treatment.
To evaluate the efficacy of long-term treatment with 2 mg aflibercept via different intravitreal (IVT) treatment regimens to participants with DME pretreated with 2 mg aflibercept every 8 weeks after 5 initial monthly injections for approximately 1 year or more (according to the EU label for the first year of treatment)
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurs when the main blood vessel that transports blood away from the retina (the very back portion of the eye) becomes blocked, causing the leakage of fluid into the retina and thereby causing a swelling of the macula (the portion of the retina responsible for fine vision). This swelling is called macular edema. When the macula swells with fluid, central vision becomes blurry. The study drug aflibercept has been shown to reduce the amount of fluid and blood leaked into the retina. It can help to stabilize, and in many cases, improve the vision loss related to CRVO. Aflibercept has been approved for the treatment of macular edema secondary to CRVO in the United States (US), European Union (EU), Japan, and other countries. The study was considered research because, although the study drug was already on the market for macular edema secondary to CRVO, there were no studies available that addressed the questions of what were useful intervals for treating and assessing patients, how did they differ among patients, and how were criteria applied for retreatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, treatment interval, and safety of the treatment regimen (pattern for administering treatment) in subjects with macular edema secondary to CRVO. In addition, this study explored new imaging methods for assessing the affected eye.
This study evaluates the effects of subconjunctivally injected bevacizumab in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema.
In this double blind clinical trial, 1000 patients suffering from diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, neovascularization due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and cystoid macular edema secondary to retinal vascular occlusions are included. Those with the history of Ocular pain prior to the procedure, any contraindication for Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection (IVI), history of any kind of anterior segment conditions that could affect pain sensation, history of using systemic analgesic or sedative medications, history of previous eye surgery other than for cataract, glaucoma, uveitis and bullous keratopathy and poor cooperation in using the visual analogue scale (VAS) are excluded from the study. Before starting the treatment all patients undergo complete ophthalmic exam , best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) checking and macular thickness measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Patients are randomly assigned to each group .Each participant receive one injection in one eye in this study. Pain is measured by subjective grading on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) immediately after IVI. BCVA and OCT would be checked again at month one.
The purpose is to show the 3-month efficacy and safety in diabetic macular edema treated with intravitreal ziv-aflibercept.
Uveitis represents a heterogeneous group of diseases that results from ocular inflammatory reaction involving ocular tissue and vasculature. The inflammation usually causes pain, redness, photophobia and blurred vision. This inflammation, is typically treated with regional or systemic therapy. The regional therapy typically consists of topical corticosteroids or periocular or regional corticosteroids. Regional therapy can lead to a steroid response glaucoma, which is increased intraocular pressure.This pilot study aims to evaluate the possible effectiveness of H.P. Acthar in patients with active ocular inflammatory disease, and currently on treatment for glaucoma or have a history of glaucoma.
The Endurance Trial is a Phase IV open label clinical study to assess the need for ongoing intravitreal aflibercept injections after the 3-year VISTA DME (VGFT-OD-1009) endpoint. Subjects will be treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections pro re nata (PRN) based on the presence of CR-DME (Clinically Relevant-DME). In addition, subjects who meet re-treatment criteria will be eligible for focal laser treatment every 90 days
This is a proof of mechanism trial to explore the effect of BI 1026706 on the central retinal thickness and to evaluate safety and tolerability of BI 1026706 administered orally for 12 weeks in patients with mild vision impairment due to center-involved DME
