Filter by:The aim of the study is to find out prevalence of diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients with diabetes mellitus in Slovak Republic.The outcome of the project will be epidemiology survey, prevalence of wet form of Diabetic Macular Edema in relation to duration of diabetes, type of diabetes, treatment (insulin vs. OAD or combination) etc. and identification of prognostic factors leading to development of DME.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if a combination therapy with micropulse diode laser treatment shows non inferiority on visual acuity within 12 months in comparison to standard therapy (intravitreal injection of ranibizumab only).
To evaluate the safety of intravitreal ranibizumab repeated injections in patients with diabetic macular edema regarding maintenance of retinal ganglion cell function.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AKB-9778 administered as daily subcutaneous injections with and without monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab for 3 months in patients with diabetic macular edema.
To determine if there is visual benefit with Ozurdex treatment every three months compared to monthly anti-VEGF alone, in subjects with persistent diabetic macular edema. The investigator hypothesizes more frequent administration of Ozurdex in patients that have persistent diabetic macular edema will result in a more rapid and sustained improvement of visual acuity and/or optical coherence topography (OCT) compared to the use of anti-VEGF alone.
The purpose of this is study is to assess the efficacy of navigated laser treatment in reducing the number of anti-VEGF injections required to maintain visual gain obtained after Bevacizumab compared to Bevacizumab alone in patients with clinically significant macular edema (CSME). This will be prospective, active-controlled study using Bevacizumab (Genentech, South San Francisco CA) for intravitreal injections. Retinal photocoagulation will utilize the Navilas Laser System (OD-OS GmbH, Teltow, Germany), which is an approved indication for this device.
The study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Lucentis® (ranibizumab 0.5 mg) in diabetic patients presenting with reduced visual acuity due to diabetic macular edema and evaluating spacing out of follow-up after initial intensive treatment phase.
To determine whether TLC399 (ProDex) provides an ideal, safe, long-acting, dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) delivery system for the treatment of macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
The drug being tested in this study is low doses of Optina (formerly known as Danazol) (DMI-5207) that may be an effective treatment for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema (DME). Laboratory studies have demonstrated that low doses of this drug may treat diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema by two important ways, decreasing blood vessel permeability (related to leaking and edema) and by decreasing the formation of new leaky blood vessels. Optina is not approved by Health Canada for the treatment of diabetic macular edema but higher doses of Optina are approved by Health Canada for treatment of endometriosis (growth of cells similar to those that form inside of the womb that grows outside of the womb) and fibrocystic breast disease (a condition of the breast tissue). Higher doses of Optina have also been approved in the United States and many other countries since the mid-1970s in the treatment of men and women with hereditary angioedema (a disease which causes swelling in parts of the body) in addition to endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease in women. All of the Optina doses that will be used in the current study are less than half of the typical starting doses for the approved indications. This can be compared to "high-dose" aspirin that is used to treat, for example, headache, while low-dose "baby aspirin" is used to reduce blood clotting. Similarly, Optina has two different effects at high and low dose. The low doses for this study have been selected based on the laboratory studies mentioned above. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of low doses of Optina in the treatment of macular edema due to diabetes, and also to test if it helps to slow the development of macular edema.
Patients with diabetic macular edema who were switched to aflibercept after having been treated with bevacizumab or ranibizumab were retrospectively reviewed to assess for visual acuity and anatomic outcomes.
