Filter by:This investigator initiated pilot study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of SD-OCT-guided intravitreal ranibizumab treatment in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to myopia. Newly diagnosed and active CNVs due to myopia are treated with one intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab 0.5mg (Lucentis) at baseline. During the follow up period of 12 months monthly ophthalmological examinations including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and high resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) assessments are performed. Detection of persisting or new signs of CNV activity at OCT triggers ranibizumab re-treatment considering that any ranibizumab injections can maximally be applied as often as monthly.
This study uses 15-year data from the Blue Mountains Eye Study to establish independent associations between dietary intake of total flavonoids and common flavonoid classes with the prevalence and 15-year incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), independent of potential confounders.
The purpose of the study is to detect persisting or early new activity of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to age related macular degeneration (AMD) during the first 12 months following the first ranibizumab dose at baseline as assessed by weekly high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT). Detection of persisting or new signs of CNV activity at OCT triggers further ranibizumab treatments considering that any ranibizumab injections can maximally be applied as often as 2-weekly.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of HB002.1M, a human immunoglobulin Fc fusion protein containing domain 2 and flanking sequence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-1 in subjects with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The purpose of this extension study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the new formulation of brolucizumab 6 mg ophthalmic solution when given to the same patients who received brolucizumab in the core trial CRTH258A2301 (also known as CRTH258-C002). The medical condition treated in the core and extension trials was neo-vascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
The purpose of this observational study lies in the analysis of a treat-and-extend injection scheme with intravitreal aflibercept (i.e. injection into the eye), as applied in routine practice in previously untreated patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Currently, there is no safe way to obtain cells from the eye to study. But researchers now can turn other types of cells, like skin or blood, into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These can be grown in a lab and turned into other types of cells, like cells from the eye. This will allow researchers to understand and treat diseases of the eye such as AMD. Objectives: To establish a bank of samples that can be changed into other cell types, such as eye cells, to better understand diseases such as AMD. Also to test drugs in order to treat various eye diseases. Eligibility: People who provided DNA samples in another protocol (07-EI-0025) Design: Participants will be screened with their data from the previous protocol. Participants with select genetic variants will be chosen and contacted via phone. Participants will have a punch skin biopsy. The skin will be washed. A numbing medication will be injected. A small piece of skin will be removed with a biopsy tool. The site will be covered with a dressing. They will receive instructions on how to care for the area. They will have follow-up visits if needed for clinical care for the area. Participants may be asked to return if their first sample did not provide enough cells for the lab. Participants sample will be developed into eye cells. The cells will be used to understand diseases and test new drugs.
To assess the safety of intravitreal Zimura™ (complement factor C5 inhibitor) administered in combination with Lucentis® 0.5 mg in treatment naïve subjects with neovascular age related macular degeneration (NVAMD)
A multicentre, randomised, parallel group, sham-controlled, double-masked, dose-ranging study, investigating two doses of OPT-302 in combination with ranibizumab compared with ranibizumab with sham, over six consecutive monthly dosing cycles in participants with neovascular (wet) AMD.
