Filter by:This is a Phase 1 study to investigate the safety, tolerability of the novel plasma kallikrein inhibitor, KVD001 in subjects with diabetic macular edema. The study is the first step to investigate the hypothesis that plasma kallikrein plays an important role in the disease process behind diabetic macular edema in many patients
This is a study of OZURDEX® use in clinical practice in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
This is a safety and efficacy study of abicipar pegol in patients with diabetic macular edema.
This study will use retrospective data to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OZURDEX® (dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7 mg) in the treatment of macular oedema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in clinical practice. No intervention will be administered as part of this study.
This pilot study aims to establish that treatment with near infrared light (NIR) reduces diabetic macular oedema in patients suffering diabetic retinopathy by exerting a positive beneficial effect at retinal cellular level.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab by determining the pathogenesis of macular edema, which cause a direct effect on visual function. In particular, we focus on the correlation between the treatment effectiveness of ranibizumab and the role of the cytokines involved in the cause of macular edema.
Ranibizumab is a humanized anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody fragment approved in Chile by the Instituto de Salud Pública for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion and age-related macular degeneration. Currently, there is limited epidemiologic information in Chile regarding the incidence of DME and limited experience of anti-VEGF hospital therapy. This study will evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab in Chilean DME patients, to investigate the anatomical and functional improvement following this treatment and to increase the local experience regarding the use of anti-VEGF in the treatment of diabetic macular edema.
Background: - Some people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) have macular edema (swelling) in the central retina. This can cause decreased central vision. The cause of macular edema is unknown, but may involve inflammation. The drug minocycline might help prevent inflammation and therefore might help treat macular edema and improve central visual function . Objectives: - To see if minocycline helps people with RP and macular edema. Eligibility: - People 12 years and older with RP who have macular edema in at least on eye. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical and eye disease history. They will have an eye exam and blood tests. One eye with macular edema will be the study eye. If both eyes are affected, one will be designated the study eye. - Participants will visit the clinic at least 9 times over at least 14 months. The first 3 study visits will be monthly, then every 2 months. - Participants will start taking minocycline after visit 3. They will take 1 pill twice daily for at least 1 year. - Participants will keep a medicine diary and bring it to each visit with their pill bottle and unused pills. At each study visit, participants will have some or all of the following tests: - eye and thyroid exams - blood and pregnancy tests - microperimetry: participants will press a button when they see a light on a computer screen - visual field measurement: participants will look at spots on a white screen to test side vision - electroretinogram: A person will be dark adapted by sitting in the dark for 30 minutes. After the placement of numbing eye drops, special contact lenses will be placed . The participant will watch flashing lights and recordings will be made.
The investigators would like to investigate the efficacy of more frequent treatment with Lucentis for subjects with persistent diabetic macular edema despite standard dosing regimen.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 700 μg dexamethasone versus laser photocoagulation in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME).
