Filter by:This study is to investigate whether variants in the LOC387715 locus and the HtrA serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene within the 10q26 locus are associated with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and whether they are associated with clinical patterns including angiographic phenotype in a Korean population.
The overall objective of this two arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to determine if home monitoring using the comprehensive visual field and telemedicine solution based on the ForeseeHome device in AREDS2 improves detection of progression to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) when compared with standard care.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of E10030 intravitreous injection when administered in combination with Lucentis® against a control of Lucentis® alone in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the compliance of the Foresee Home device in intermediate AMD patients.
Determination of the sensitivity and specificity of different combinations of imaging techniques (spectral domain optical coherence tomography, fundus photography and fluorescein angiography) used for the diagnosis of choroidal neovessels complicating age -related macular degeneration. This information will help to determine the choice of the most suitable combination for the above diagnosis.
The Foresee Home is used in the recent years to detect age-related macular degeneration (AMD) lesions. The device is capable of differentiation as to stages of AMD and early detection of changes including choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The Foresee Home demonstrates a high level of sensitivity and specificity as to the different stages of AMD including newly diagnosed or early detection of CNV. The OCT may be use as well to identify choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Comparison between the two methods will allow better understanding of both devices. The Foresee Home can use as an assessment tool for the progression and success of the treatment given to AMD lesions. Therefore, evaluation the size and the location of the treated lesions may serve as an additional tool.
Rationale: Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness in the industrialized world. Macular pigment is hypothesized to protect against the vision loss in this disease. Objective: 1. To study if the macular pigment optical density can be raised by lutein supplementation. 2. To study if lutein supplementation can stop or slow down the decrease in visual functions. Study design: Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled intervention study. Study population: Eighty patients with early signs of age-related macular degeneration Intervention: The intervention group (40 subjects) receives 10 mg lutein per day, while the control group (40 subjects) gets a placebo.
Palomid 529 is a dual TORC1/2 inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway having broad activity in angiogenesis and cellular proliferation. Palomid 529 will be examined to determine if the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses when administered intravitreally or subconjunctivally.
The purpose of this study is to compare 12-month results of two single initial treatments—photodynamic therapy with verteporfin alone and this therapy combined with intravitreal bevacizumab—for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, not including patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy who were presumed to have age-related macular degeneration.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and establish the effectiveness of two doses from the IRay System for the treatment of wet AMD.
