Filter by:This research study will examine the safety and effectiveness of ONS-5010 in participants with AMD. The goal is to prevent vision loss by evaluating the effectiveness of ONS-5010 as compared with ranibizumab.
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is characterized by the abnormal growth of blood vessels from the choroid into the subretinal space which leads to sub- and intraretinal fluid accumulation, hemorrhages and subretinal fibrosis with progressive loss of central vision. Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment is the standard of care. Intravitreal anti-VEGF application might temporarily increase intraocular pressure due to a volume effect. It remains unclear if repeated injections might have an impact on retinal capillary perfusion. Therefore this study aims to investigate the vascular microcirculation differences between patients who received longterm intravitreal Anti-VEGF treatment and patients who recently started Anti-VEGF treatment using Optical Coherence tomography Angiography (OCTA).
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, durability, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered at intervals as specified in the protocol, compared with aflibercept once every 8 weeks (Q8W), in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

The objectives of the study are to demonstrate the equivalence of Xlucane to Lucentis® in treatment of subjects with wet (ie, neovascular) age-related macular degeneration (wAMD).
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment in Western Countries. It is a well-established fact that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key part in the development of the neovascular (or exsudative) form of AMD. Today, VEGF-inhibition by means of injection of anti-VEGF agents into the vitreous cavity constitutes the gold standard of AMD therapy. In physiological conditions, VEGF acts as a vasodilator by activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase. As a consequence, VEGF inhibition should result in significant ocular vasoconstriction, which has in fact been demonstrated for bevacizumab and ranibizumab, two of the three available VEGF-inhibitors. The understanding and awareness of potentially harmful implications of the induced vasoconstriction on retinal and/or optic nerve head structure and function is sparse. This is especially delicate, as most patients with exsudative AMD require repeated injections on a monthly basis for many years. Aflibercept, the latest anti-VEGF agent approved for intravitreal use in 2011, offers a superior binding affinity for VEGF compared to the former two drugs. However, as of today, its effect on ocular circulation is unclear. With Laser Speckle Flowgraphy (LSFG), a commercially available, non-invasive and patient-friendly method for the evaluation of blood flow at the optic nerve head, the choroid and retina has arisen in recent years. We aim to measure ocular perfusion with LSFG before and after 3 consecutive injections of aflibercept in unilateral neovascular age-related maculopathy.
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single intravitreous injections,single ascending doses, of RC28-E(a chimeric decoy receptor trap fusion protein by dual blockage of VEGF and FGF-2) in subjects with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if emixustat hydrochloride reduces the rate of progression of macular atrophy compared to placebo in subjects with Stargardt disease. Funding Source -- FDA OOPD
ADVM-022 (AAV.7m8-aflibercept) is a gene therapy product developed for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is a serious condition and the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. The available therapies for treating wet AMD require life-long intravitreal (IVT) injections every 4-12 weeks to maintain efficacy. A one-time IVT administration of ADVM-022 has the potential to treat wet AMD by providing durable expression of therapeutic levels of intraocular anti-VEGF protein (aflibercept) and maintaining the vision of patients. ADVM-022 is designed to reduce the current treatment burden which often results in undertreatment and vision loss in patients with wet AMD receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of repeated intravitreal bevacizumab injections on blood-aqueous barrier permeability in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
