Filter by:The goal for this study is to initiate a randomized, controlled clinical trial to test the viability of personalized AMD progression prediction models. Early and intermediate AMD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned them to a control or test group. The test group will include patients who will receive personalized follow-up care based on their predicted risk, and collect baseline and follow-up data. This work will advance the AMD field by improving the identification of high-risk patients as candidates for more frequent screening and earlier treatment, leading to better clinical outcomes.
A randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of LY09004 and EYLEA in the Treatment of Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration（wAMD)
Multicenter ，open-label, multi-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with wAMD treated with intravitreal recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody（SCT510A）
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Optimal Acuity Clear-K® Low Vision Aid System provides a safe and effective treatment to improve vision for patients with age-related macular degeneration.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and image quality of the investigational dye, MB-102, compared to the control dye (fluorescein sodium) in healthy and diseased eyes using fluorescent angiography for retinal vascular disease diagnosis and monitoring.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of every 2 week intravitreal aflibercept injections in a population of neovascular AMD patients that have demonstrated refractory subretinal fluid with or without intraretinal fluid despite prior monthly intravitreal aflibercept treatment.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition affecting 20 to 25 million people worldwide. Symptoms of AMD includes difficulty in reading, recognizing faces and completing house work which may result in increased disability which in turn increase symptoms of depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety could also be worsened by social isolation caused by AMD. Further, AMD causes high levels of emotional distress and reduced quality of life (QoL). Automatic Self Transcending Meditation (ASTM) - a standardized category of meditation - may help reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and may enhance QoL. Automatic Self Transcending Meditation (ASTM) is a class of meditation that helps quiet the mind and induces physiological and mental relaxation whilst the eyes are shut. It utilizes a specific sound value (mantra) to draw attention inward and permit the mind to experience a restful but alert state of consciousness. In the proposed research, the effects of ASTM on health related quality of Life (HRQoL), depression and anxiety in low-vision AMD patients will be studied. A single-center, single-blind longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in London, ON. Patients with AMD (n = 140, 70 in each arm) will be randomized to ASTM plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone (control) arm. Data on routinely measured ophthalmic clinical variables, HRQoL, depression, and anxiety will be collected from both the arms. Statistical analysis will be conducted using STATA 15.0 to evaluate the effects of ASTM plus TAU compared to TAU alone on HRQoL, depression, and anxiety. Further, for each group - ASTM plus TAU and TAU alone - the investigators develop an association between HRQoL, depression, and anxiety with routinely measured clinical variables using mathematical models.
This is a safety follow-up study. Patients enrolled in B4711001 will be followed for a further 4 years with regular visits to assess safety.
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in patients older than 55 years old. AMD can present as dry AMD or wet AMD. In most cases AMD affects both eyes although in many cases it's asymmetrical as far as severity. Some patients require low vision aids to continue their daily life tasks. In the past a few attempts were made to use low vision intraocular lenses with corrective glasses without enough success. In addition telescopic and prismatic lenses were also tried. The difficulties with these lenses included low field of vision, unsatisfactory magnification, complicated surgical technique and high complication rates. Recently an add on lens was designed for the sulcus for implantation in pseudophakic AMD patients. The add on lens doubles the magnification of the central image dependent on the reading distance and the anatomy of the eye. The lens is acrylic hydrophobic and designed for implantation in the sulcus either in pseudophakic patients or in addition to an intraocular lens implanted during a routine cataract surgery. The lens is 13 mm wide with 4 symmetric haptics. The lens has 1.5 mm central part of 10 diopters and the rest of the lens has no optical power. Our purpose is to study implantation of the lenses in AMD patients to improve their reading ability and to improve their daily living.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of early intervention of PDT combination compared with consecutive monthly treatment of intravitreal ranibizumab injections in PCV patients showing insufficient response with initial loading dose.
