Filter by:The protocol will measure a number of cytokines in addition to vascular endothelial growth factor in response to 0.3mg Lucentis.
The PROTECT2 pilot study is a single cohort prospective study to gather pilot data and finalize operational details of the main study. The PROTECT2 main study is a prospective randomized controlled multi-center three group clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the percentage of participants in each study group obtaining a qualified eye examination within 12 months of their enrollment in the study.
Randomized, double-masked trial designed to investigate the use of TLC399 (ProDex) in subjects with macular edema due to CRVO or BRVO.
This study is conducted to evaluate the safety of THR-317 when administered intravitreally and to assess the compound's efficacy in improving best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and reducing central subfield thickness (CST) in subjects with centre-involved diabetic macular oedema (DME).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept injections administered in a treat and extend fashion in eyes that have persistent center involved diabetic macular edema following at least 4 intravitreal injections of 0.3 mg ranibizumab over 24 weeks.
Objective: To determine the association between baseline aqueous cytokine levels and treatment intervals for patients under a variable dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: A prospective, single-centre study will be performed containing 3 sub-studies according to each study population: nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO and DME. Inclusion criteria are: patients followed at St. Michael's Hospital with the diagnosis of nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO or DME. Patients will be excluded if visual acuity is worse than counting fingers, with macular pathologies causing any structural changes to the retina, have received anti-VEGF injections or photocoagulation therapy 6 months prior to study, intraocular surgery 3 months prior to study, any history of vitreoretinal surgery or ocular inflammation in the study eye, use of systemic or topical anti-inflammatory or steroids, patients on dialysis for renal failure, allergy to the study drug or fluorescein, <18 years old, women who are pregnant. All patients will be treated with ranibizumab intravitreal injections on a variable dosing regimen: Patients with DME will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months (baseline, weeks 4 and 8). Afterwards, they will continue to be seen monthly and the need for new injections will be decided upon the clinical findings at each visit. An anterior chamber (AC) tap will be done if an injection is required at the visit. Patients with nAMD and RVO will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months. From weeks 12 until 72 (month 18), the visits will be scheduled at increasing 2-weeks intervals based on the stability of the ocular condition and response to treatment. At each visit, an injection and AC tap will be performed. The maximum interval in between injections is 12 weeks. If the disease becomes unstable, the interval in between injections is shortened and, once it stabilizes, the treatment frequency is extended again. In all patients, baseline aqueous humour specimens will be obtained prior to the first ranibizumab intravitreal injection and follow-up samples will be taken immediately prior to subsequent injections based on the treatment regimens for cytokine analysis in the end of the follow-up.

We are comparing the patient experience between the standard 30 g needle to the smaller 33 g needle for intravitreal injections of ranabizumab or aflibercept for age related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or retina vein occlusions.
Prospective, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled clinical study to define the effective use of a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug added to topical steroid use after uncomplicated phacoemulsification for the prevention of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of Ozurdex® as prescribed in clinical practice in France for the treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).
