Filter by:Age Related Macular Disease (AMD) is easily the leading cause of blindness in older people in developed countries. It affects between 30 and 50 million individuals worldwide, with around 30% of the over 65's showing early signs of the disease. Severe AMD has a devastating impact on the quality of life; it causes extensive visual impairment, making reading difficult and driving impossible. Patients lose their independence and become a major burden on public health systems. Present treatment options are limited. Many new therapies are under development and all will need evaluation using a test with high specificity and sensitivity for early AMD. The present application will develop such an instrument. The prototype was funded by a previous i4i FS (feasibility study ll-FS-0110-14036). The new device measures sensitivity to a dim flickering light using the same principle as an established european conformity marked (CE marked) instrument. The original method involved lights of different wavelengths and higher intensities. The instrument in this study assesses night vision, which is selectively damaged in early stage AMD. In low lighting, the investigators vision depends on specialized rod photoreceptors. Cone photoreceptors, which provide daytime vision, remain normal in the early stages of the disease. By the time patients complain of reduced (cone-based) visual acuity, they will have had the disease for many years and lost many thousands of photoreceptors.
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to assess the local ocular and systemic safety and tolerability of LHA510 eye drops when administered at various concentrations and dosing frequencies.
The aim of the study is to find out prevalence of aged-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Slovak Republic. The outcome of the project will be epidemiology survey, prevalence of wet form of AMD in relation to demographic data, patient´s anamnesis, nutrition, co-morbidities etc.
Intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech) is clinically indicated for patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) An disadvantage of this technique is the anxiety and discomfort which patients often experience due to the idea of "getting a needle in the eye". In addition, a recent case study indicated the importance of patient education in achieving positive outcomes from intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents. The purpose of our study is to determine whether visual education on AMD and intravitreal injection can reduce patients' anxiety prior to the treatment, and lessen the impact of socioeconomical status on their understanding of the treatment and prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, bioactivity and pharmacokinetics of three concentrations of DE-120 after a single intravitreal injection in subjects with late stage exudative age-related macular degeneration.
This study is to determine how cognitive deficits (e.g.,verbal fluency deficit) in patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) relate to specific aspects of brain and function. The study team will assess whether the "brain signatures" associated with specific cognitive deficits differ in older adults with and without AMD.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different regimens of 0.5 mg ranibizumab given as intravitreal injection in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the most cause of blindness in the industrialised countries. There are few epidemiological studies on the incidence of this disease. Studying the incidence of AMD in an elderly French population and identifying the predisposing factors is very important to allow a major advance in the epidemiological knowledge of AMD. This study will contribute to the identification of the clinical, genetic and modifiable parameters associated at the risk of developing AMD. This could result in means prevention as well as in the identification of subjects as high risk of AMD
The Ranibizumab in Pigment Epithelium Tears Secondary To Age-Related Macular Degeneration (RIP) Study is a prospective, multicenter, uncontrolled, interventional phase 2 clinical trial that investigates the effect of fixed monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (Lucentis, Novartis Pharma, Germany) on visual acuity and retinal morphology over a study period of 12 months in 30 patients.
The study will be designed as a case control evaluation to compare the genetic profiles of three groups of patients categorized according to diagnosis. Group 1 - CNV secondary to CSC Group 2 - CSC without CNV Group 3 - CNV secondary to advanced AMD.
