Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test DS-7080a, a monoclonal antibody, as a new treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). The hypothesis of the study is that DS-7080a is safe and shows preliminary efficacy in patients with these conditions either alone or in combination with ranibizumab. This study is organized into 3 Parts: Part 1 Dose Escalation in AMD participants, Part 2 Dose Expansion in AMD participants, and Part 3 Dose Expansion in DME participants. In Part 1, participants will be enrolled into 3 sequential, ascending dose-level cohorts in non-randomized uncontrolled manner with the main purpose to determine the recommended dose. In Part 2, participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 arms of either monotherapy with DS-7080a or monotherapy with ranibizumab, which is an active control, or combination therapy of DS-7080a plus ranibizumab (ranibizumab will be administered 30 minutes prior to DS-7080a). In Part 3, subjects with DME will be assigned to 1 of 2 arms of either monotherapy with DS-7080a or monotherapy with ranibizumab. DS-7080a or ranibizumab will be administered 3 times: on Baseline/Day 1, Day 29, and Day 57. Both Parts 2 and 3 will consist of 8 visits including a 14-day screening phase, an 84-day treatment period, and a 28-day follow-up period.
This interventional study will evaluate the retinal vascular dynamics associated with Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI) therapy in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) or macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography will be performed at multiple timepoints to assess the changes in retinal vascular leakage, ischemia, and vascular abnormalities throughout the study duration and compare these alterations to baseline.
Laser photocoagulation and intravitreal anti-vascular growth factor injections are commonly used treatment options for individuals with diabetic macular edema. However, some patients continue to experience persistent diabetic macular edema and poor vision despite continued laser and/or anti-vegf therapy. Recent clinical trials suggest that due to inflammatory mediators dexamethasone intravitreal implant (0.7mg) may be a good alternative therapy for individuals unresponsive to laser photocoagulation or intravitreal anti-vascular growth factor injections. The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of using a dexamethasone steroid implant versus monthly intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for research participants with persistent diabetic macular edema (DME).
This is an open-label, Phase I/II study of intravitreally administered 0.3mg ranibizumab in subjects with diabetic macular edema and lipid exudates in the central subfield.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major cause of visual loss in patients with diabetes mellitus. The standard treatment is with focal/grid laser therapy. Topical nepafenac was used as an adjunct therapy for treatment of DME. The aim of this study is to compare the difference of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) at 3 months post treatment between combination therapy of laser and topical nepafenac and laser monotherapy in patients with DME.
Diabetic macular edema refers to swelling (fluid accumulation) in the center of the retina. The retina is like the film of a camera and is located in the back of the eye. This condition can develop in diabetics where swelling results from leaking of fluid from the blood vessels of the eye, into the center of the retina, the macula. If left untreated, this can affect central vision. The current standard treatment for diabetic macular edema includes medications injected directly into the eye (intravitreal injections) and laser eye treatment. The drugs that are injected directly into the eye are known as anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) agents which help to reduce the leaking. However, response in patients to these anti-VEGF drugs can vary and examination of predictive factors is required. This particular study examines cellular factors called cytokines in patients receiving aflibercept, a type of anti-VEGF drug, in the hopes of detecting changes in cytokines that can predict treatment response amongst groups of patients.
This randomized, parallel controlled, clinical-trial aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of 577nm micropulse laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema compared with 532 subthreshold laser photocoagulation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of intravitreal Eylea injections at a set interval, versus a variable dosing schedule (likely longer than one month), based on a specific individual's disease progression. There will be approximately 50 men and women at least 18 years of age, diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, taking part in this study at 5 locations in the United States.
The Endurance 2 Trial is to determine the need for ongoing intravitreal aflibercept injections for patients with diabetic macular edema who have previously completed the VISTA study.
This study is designed to compare the post injection inflammation and pain seen after intravitreal injections of ranibizumab 0.3mg and aflibercept 2.0mg in patients with DME. The investigators will be evaluating patients (1-7 days) post injections for: 1. Intraocular inflammation (defined as anterior chamber and/or vitreous cells 2. Pain (as measured on a standardized pain scale).
