Filter by:To determine if Ozurdex implant can offer an effective treatment for macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion when treatment with intravitreal Avastin, Lucentis, or Eylea have not demonstrated a significant response.
This research is being done to assess the long term prognosis of patients treated with ranibizumab for edema due to retinal vein occlusion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ranibizumab for the treatment of macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in patients with initial fair visual acuity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether phase variance optical coherence tomography (PV-OCT), a software-based optical coherence tomography(OCT) image processing technology, can be used to generate angiographic images of the retinochoroidal vasculature that are comparable to those produced by fluorescein angiography (FA), the current gold standard diagnostic test.
The RAVE 2 trial is a phase I, open label, 12-month trial of intravitreal ranibizumab 2.0 mg in patients with ischemic CRVO who have been either previously treated with ranibizumab or treatment naïve.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single administration of FOV2302 (ecallantide) in patients with macular edema associated with central retinal vein occlusion.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of FA Intravitreal Inserts in subjects with macular edema secondary to RVO.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second commonest retinal disease after diabetic retinopathy, and is a common cause of unilateral visual loss. There are two aims in the management of RVO: the identification of modifiable risk factors and their medical management and the recognition and management of sight-threatening complications. The management of the disease includes laser therapy and the control of systemic associated diseases. Many other treatments have been proposed but there is no evidence on their efficacy in modulating the outcome of branch or central RVO. There are currently no adequate clinical trials that have evaluated the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic agents in this setting. Antiplatelet agents are frequently used in clinical practice. Anticoagulant drugs, either heparins or coumarins, are also used in this setting as they represent the first line therapy for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. Aim of this randomized controlled study is to to compare the efficacy and safety of aspirin and of a low molecular weight heparin, parnaparin, in the treatment of RVO. Study treatment is administered for 3 months. Primary end-point of the study is the incidence of functional worsening of the eye with RVO at 6 months. Secondary efficacy outcomes are the following: proportion of cases requiring laser treatment because of the extension of the ischemic lesion and/or the presence of neovascularisation and/or macular oedema, incidence of recurrent RVO objectively documented by fluorescein angiography. Safety outcomes are defined by the incidence of major and minor bleeding events.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pars plana vitrectomy in combination with triamcinolone acetate is effective in the treatment of macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion.
The aim of this study is to develop a less risky, yet effective and more sustainable treatment for retinal vein occlusions than the current commonly used approach of repeated intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) injections. The types of retinal vien occlusion that are being studied include central (CVRO), hemi-retinal (HRVO),and branch (BRVO) retinal vein occlusion. Niacin, (Nicotinic Acid, not Nicotinamide) a B-vitamin, has lipid lowering and vasodilating properties. The combination of Niacin and Prednisolone Acetate steroid eye drops as a non-invasive treatment approach was developed by the Principal Investigator. The Niacin dilates the retinal vessels, hopefully encouraging earlier collateral vessel formation aimed at bypassing the venous obstruction, thus restoring venous outflow. The Prednisolone Acetate steroid eye drops are aimed at reducing vascular leakage and therefore the macular edema in the eye while the Niacin is taking effect.
