Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to test non-inferiority of aflibercept "treat and extend" using a relaxed retinal fluid management relative to aflibercept "treat and extend" using a strict retinal fluid management SD-OCT (spectral domain optical coherence tomography) disease activity guided retreatment with respect to best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to end of treatment.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe and irreversible visual loss and classified blindness in the elderly throughout Europe and the US. Among these patients, about 6%-8% are afflicted with the advanced stages of AMD, which are responsible for the most severe visual loss. There is now convincing evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major trigger for the formation of pathological choroidal vessels, responsible for the development of the neovascular form of AMD. Today, the gold standard for vascular imaging of the retina and diagnosis of CNV is angiography using fluorescein (FLA) or indocyanine green (ICG), which involves injection of the dye into a vein of the arm. In the recent years tremendous enhancements in the field of optical coherence tomography have been achieved. These developments made it possible to visualize the retinal vasculature in a full depth manner without the application of an intravenous marker. The proposed study tests the hypothesis that visualisation of CNV lesion size with non-invasive OCT angiography is not inferior to FLA/ICG angiography in treatment naïve and previously treated AMD patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate anatomical and functional effect of combination therapy of Squalamine Lactate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.2% administered twice daily with monthly ranibizumab intravitreal injections in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to AMD.
The objective of this study is to image retinal vascular alterations in patients with retinal disease using the AngioVue OCT-A system and understand the information these images provide. The investigators will image study participants who have retinal diseases with the AngioVue unit (Optovue) and will collect relevant clinical data to understand the nature of the information contained in images obtained on AngioVue. This study being conducted under an abbreviated IDE. The investigators will analyze data using descriptive statistics. Risks related to light exposure will be managed by ensuring that the exposure to the AngioVue light source is well below maximum permissible limits for safe exposure.
A fellow eye controlled study of HUCNS-SC sub-retinal transplantation in subjects with bilateral GA AMD. All subjects will be assigned to HUCNS-SC transplantation.
The purpose of his study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of MA09-hRPE cellular therapy in patients with advanced dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) from one to five years following the surgical procedure to implant the MA09-hRPE cells.
This is a prospective, single-blind, randomized study to evaluate intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) versus sham as prophylaxis against conversion to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in "high-risk" subjects.
This is a Phase I Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of CM082 tablets in Chinese Patients With wAMD.
The purpose of this study is to assess a new treatment pattern for aflibercept. The aim is to achieve and maintain the best benefit of visual function and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. The hypothesis to be tested is whether intravitreous aflibercept given in an 8 week cycle of treatment in year 1 and a capped treat and extend treatment paradigm in year 2 can lead to improved vision and reading speed in eyes with active wet AMD over 2 years while reducing hospital visits.
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether compositional and functional alterations of the gut metagenome may be related to AMD. The primary variable for this assessment is the composition of the gut metagenome which will be analyzed by shotgun sequencing to characterize the faecal metagenome. The secondary endpoint is to assess whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in CFH, ARMS2, C3, PLEKHA1, HTRA-1, VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGFR and APOE genes which have been shown to be risk factors for the development of AMD and other macular diseases correlate with alterations in the gut metagenome .
