Filter by:The containment associated with the VIDOC-19 pandemic creates an unprecedented societal situation of physical and social isolation. Our hypothesis is that in patients with chronic diseases, confinement leads to changes in health behaviours, adherence to pharmacological treatment, lifestyle rules and increased psychosocial stress with an increased risk of deterioration in their health status in the short, medium and long term. Some messages about the additional risk/danger associated with taking certain drugs in the event of COVID disease have been widely disseminated in the media since March 17, 2020, the date on which containment began in France. This is the case, for example, for corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs but also for converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs2). These four major classes of drugs are widely prescribed in patients with chronic diseases, diseases specifically selected in our study (corticosteroids: haematological malignancies, multiple sclerosis, Horton's disease; ACE inhibitors/ARAs2: heart failure, chronic coronary artery disease). Aspirin used at low doses as an anti-platelet agent in coronary patients as a secondary prophylaxis after a myocardial infarction can be stopped by some patients who consider aspirin to be a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Discontinuation of this antiplatelet agent, which must be taken for life after an infarction, exposes the patient to a major risk of a new cardiovascular event. The current difficulty of access to care due to travel restrictions (a theoretical limit in the context of French confinement but a priori very real), the impossibility of consulting overloaded doctors, or the cancellation of medical appointments, medical and surgical procedures due to the reorganization of our hospital and private health system to better manage COVID-19 patients also increases the risk of worsening the health status of chronic patients who by definition require regular medical monitoring. Eight Burgundian cohorts of patients with chronic diseases (chronic coronary artery disease, heart failure, multiple sclerosis, Horton's disease, AMD, haemopathic malignancy, chronic respiratory failure (idiopathic fibrosis, PAH) haemophilia cohort) will study the health impact of the containment related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily the anti-inflammatory and anti-neovascular effect of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients suffering from macular edema and other inflammatory disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from macular edema and other disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab (PDS) in Participants with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) when treated every 24 weeks (Q24W) compared with intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W).
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from refractory diabetic macular edema.
The objective of this clinical trial is to compare and evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ranibizumab (Lucentis®; Novartis AG, Basel, Switzerland) monotherapy and Ranibizumab combined with R:GEN (Selective Retina Therapy) in patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema.
The objective of this study is to compare the results of a deep learning approach to diabetic retinopathy assessment with results from (1) an in-person examination with an ophthalmologist, and (2) the assessments of optometrists involved in a teleretinal screening program.
This study objectives is to evaluate the efficacy of YD312 to improve visual acuity in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) compared to placebo and determine optimal dose of phase 2b study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between DME and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA impacts millions of North Americans, many of whom are undiagnosed. The investigators aim to evaluate if a relationship exists between the two diseases, whether or not the severity of OSA impacts the severity of DME, and whether treating OSA results in better treatment outcomes for DME. The study will involve the standard of care provided for both DME (involving anti-VEGF injections) and OSA (involving continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] machine).Approximately 150 subjects are expected to be enrolled in this study. In summary: Question 1: Is there a correlation between DME and OSA? Question 2: Is there a relationship between the severity of DME (CRT and vision) and OSA (AHI index)? Question 3: Does treating OSA result in improving DME metrics, and does it neutralize the outcomes at 1 year compared to OSA negatives.
The investigational device is an approved femtosecond laser (FSL) device with an integrated imaging system to perform certain steps of the cataract procedure. The FSL will perform anterior capsulotomy and lens fragmentation in individuals suffering from age-related cataract with need of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery will be performed in subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Macula thickness will be measured with Spectralis OCT on screening date. Postoperative examinations will be implemented in accordance with the approved investigational plan on subjects and includes: visual acuity, slitlamp examination, retinal oct imaging and quantitative autofluorescence.
