View clinical trials related to Macular Degeneration.
Filter by:The vast majority of blindness is avoidable. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of cases of visual impairment could be prevented or reversed with early diagnosis and treatment. The leading causes of visual impairment are cataract and refractive error, followed by glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Loss of vision from these conditions is not inevitable; however, identifying at-risk cases and linking cases with appropriate care remain significant challenges. Worldwide, eye health care systems must determine optimal strategies for reaching people outside of their immediate orbit in order to reduce visual impairment. Visual impairment can be reduced by case detection of prevalent disease like cataract and refractive error, or by screening for early disease like glaucoma, AMD, and DR and preventing progression. Systems around the world have developed numerous approaches to both case detection and screening but there is very little research to support the choice of allocating resources to case detection or screening and little data exists on the cost effectiveness of the various approaches to each. VIEW II Pilot is a cluster-randomized trial to determine the effectiveness of different approaches to community-based case detection and screening for ocular disease. Communities in Nepal will be randomized to one of four arms: 1) a comprehensive ocular screening program, 2) a cataract camp-based program, 3) a community health worker-based program, and 4) no program.
The study will assess the mean change in Visual Acuity (VA) (overall and stratified by baseline VA) at year 1 and 2 of treatment with Aflibercept in real-life setting. In addition, the study will ascertain the baseline VA in treatment -naïve Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration or neo-vascular AMD (wAMD) patients who start treatment with Aflibercept in a real-life setting and it will assess the impact of baseline VA on the outcomes of Aflibercept treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single and repeated intravitreal injections of GB-102 in subjects with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of deep visual acuity loss. Because of progressive deterioration of the macula, patients with AMD complain about progressive visual problems that can impair their quality of life in the physical, mental and social domains. The principal objective principal of this study is to describe the evolution of quality of life between the diagnosis of secondary atrophic AMD and at 18 months after confirmation of diagnosis.
We reviewed the records of 120 consecutive patients (male and female), aged 85 years and above, who underwent pars plana vitrecromy in the Tel Aviv Medical Center during the years 01/01/2006 - 31/12/2013, and were followed by physicians in the ophthalmology department in the center until December 2015.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AS101 1% oral solution as compared to placebo in patients with neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD Patients who underwent 3 consecutive intravitreal anti VEGF injections and have sub retinal or intraretinal fluid at day 1 of study will be treated orally by AS101 1% solution or placebo once daily for 24 weeks and will be tested for sub retinal or intraretinal fluid every 4 weeks by OCT examination. In case of fluid in macula anti intravitreal anti VEGF injections will be given the same day as needed (PRN). Safety evaluation will be assessed by adverse events related to treatment of 1% AS101 oral solution or placebo. Efficacy will be evaluated in terms of duration of fluid free macula in the AS101 treated group as as compared to placebo treated group;
To assess the safety and efficacy of repeated intravitreal injections of DE-122 (low dose and high dose) given in combination with Lucentis® in subjects with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with Lucentis® alone.
The prognosis of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) accompanied by submacular hemorrhage is generally poor. A recently developed anti-VEGF agent eyeliaTM is also a useful treatment option for exudative AMD. However, one major limitation of VIEW study was that lack of data regarding eyes with submacular hemorrhage. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Eylea in submacular hemorrhage secondary to exudative AMD.
Previous work collectively suggests that rod-mediated dark adaptation (RMDA) is a promising candidate as a functional endpoint measure for evaluating interventions to slow early progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, there is no agreement among the clinical, research and regulatory communities as to what constitutes a clinically (practically) significant slowing in RMDA. Treatments for AMD are often not considered efficacious if they do not result in a criterion level of improvement in vision. But how much change in the rate of dark adaptation constitutes a clinically significant change? Until this issue is resolved, progress in developing clinical trials on early AMD are at a standstill since there is no functional endpoint to be used in the trial. One approach to establishing clinical significance is to examine how RMDA relates to the performance of an everyday visual task under low luminance conditions, such as night driving or reading. However, such data are not yet available. The purpose of this project is to examine the relationship between RMDA and night-time driving and reading under poor illumination. This information will guide the development of a definition of a clinically significant difference in RMDA that can be used in designing clinical trials on early AMD.
This is a randomised, double-masked, parallel group, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SB11 compared to Lucentis® in subjects with neovascular AMD.
