Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).
This is a randomized, multi-center, investigator masked, comparator controlled study. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of NS2 in patients with non-infectious acute anterior uveitis. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive multiple doses of NS2 0.5%, NS2 0.5% and Pred Forte® 1%, or Pred Forte® 1%. Free aldehydes are thought to be related to inflammatory diseases such as uveitis. NS2, a small molecule aldehyde trap, may decrease inflammation by lowering aldehyde levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dexamethasone sodium phosphate Visulex (DSP-Visulex) after repeated-dose administration in patients with acute anterior uveitis.
Glaucoma, a progressive optic disc neuropathy causing visual field reduction, is the second leading cause of world blindness. The treatment of glaucoma is mainly based in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) with topical medications. Many patients required two or more medications to achieve a target IOP. Combinations of B-blockers and prostaglandin analogs (PGA) are frequently used in clinical practice because their additive effect in lowering IOP levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fixed combinations of timolol maleate and PGA on the blood-aqueous barrier and evaluate the measurement of foveal thickness in pseudophakic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Objective of this study is to investigate the intracameral level of ganciclovir following topical application of 0.15% ganciclovir gel (VIRGAN©) for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis and endothelitis. Thirty patients who are diagnosed with CMV anterior segment infection, either uveitis or endothelitis, who have a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and/or positive tetraplex PCR for CMV and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month, will be recruited in the study after taking an informed consent. with active CMV anterior segment infection confirmed by a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month were recruited in the study. Patients were given 0.15% ganciclovir gel 1cc 5 times a day for 6 weeks. Following 6 weeks of treatment, tears and aqueous samples will be collected. Aqueous will be sent for RT-PCR for CMV status. Ganciclovir drug level in both tears and aqueous will be measured by HPLC method. Clinically, degree of the intraocular inflammation, Intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) will be recorded at baseline and post-treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ocular iontophoresis with dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution EGP-437 using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System (EGDS) compared to prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (1%) in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.
The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of ocular instillations of interferon gamma-1b as a potential treatment for cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to uveitis.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that difluprednate 0.05% (Durezol) dosed 4 times daily is noninferior to prednisolone 1% (Pred Forte) dosed 8 times daily for the treatment of endogenous anterior uveitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a medical device (ActiPatch) that emits a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) will benefit patients with anterior uveitis. Anterior uveitis (aka iritis) is an inflammatory disease involving the front segment of the eye. This is a common cause of a painful red eye, and ActiPatch has been shown to be effective in treating tissue inflammation. The conventional treatment of iritis typically involves frequent administration of topical steroids which have their own inherent risks (development of cataracts and/or glaucoma). The purpose of this study is to determine if ActiPatch therapy can be used to shorten the length of time and/or quantity of steroids administered.
Background: - Uveitis is an inflammatory condition in which the patient's own immune system attacks the eye, causing eye inflammation and vision loss. Patients with uveitis may be treated with immunosuppressive medications to reduce the inflammation and prevent vision loss. - Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive medication that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent organ rejection following a kidney transplant. Researchers think that sirolimus may affect the part of the immune system that may be an important cause of uveitis, and may decrease the inflammation that causes uveitis. - In this study, sirolimus will be given as an injection under the outer layer of your eye. The FDA has permitted the investigational use of sirolimus for this study. Objectives: - To determine if subconjunctival injection of sirolimus is safe for treatment of uveitis. - To see if sirolimus is an effective treatment for uveitis. Eligibility: - Patients 18 years of age and older with active uveitis in one or both eyes. If a patient has uveitis in both eyes, the one in which the inflammation is worse will be treated during the study. The vision in the study eye must be at least 20/400. - Patients must have good liver function, and must be willing to practice sun protection measures for 2 weeks following the treatment. Design: - Treatment with sirolimus in the study eye: - Antibiotic and numbing eye drops will be given before the sirolimus injection. - 1 dose of sirolimus will be injected directly into the subconjunctiva (white part of the eye). - Antibiotic drops will be given for topical application 3 times per day for 2 days after the injection. - Patients will be followed for 16 weeks after sirolimus injection (initial visit and follow-up visits in Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16). - Evaluations during the treatment period and follow-up visits: - Physical examination, including vital signs and body weight checks, and pregnancy test for women who can become pregnant. - Full medical and ophthalmic history, involving questionnaires and discussion with researchers. - Eye examination, dilation, and photography, including measurements of retinal thickness and fluorescent dye tests of blood flow in the eye. - Blood and urine tests. - Because of the increased risk of skin cancer associated with sirolimus, patients ...
