Filter by:This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, single- and multiple-ascending-dose study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO6867461 in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration.
Retrospective, non-interventional, observational multi-center field study. Patients diagnosed with wet Age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and having started treatment with ranibizumab between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 must be consecutively screened and, if eligible, enrolled. Patients will be followed up at maximum until December 31, 2011. Switch to any other Anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment will be documented. For each patient, demographics, medical history, administered treatments, results of ocular and visual assessments and other tests (where available) will be documented.
This study is designed to compare the post injection inflammation and pain seen after intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab vs Aflibercept.
Study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MC-1101, a potential topical treatment for non-edxudative age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) in medically stable individuals.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the most cause of blindness in the industrialised countries. There are few epidemiological studies on the incidence of this disease. Studying the incidence of AMD in an elderly French population and identifying the predisposing factors is very important to allow a major advance in the epidemiological knowledge of AMD. This study will contribute to the identification of the clinical, genetic and modifiable parameters associated at the risk of developing AMD. This could result in means prevention as well as in the identification of subjects as high risk of AMD
Background: - The Age-Related Eye Disease 2 Study (AREDS2) looked at two eye diseases. These were age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Participants in that study took supplement pills and some participants had additional pictures taken of their eyes. That study is now over. Researchers want to do a follow-up study after participants finish taking the pills, to see if they cause long-term effects on AMD. This study will be combined with follow-up visits of the AREDS2 study if possible. Objectives: - To learn more about the effect of oral supplements on AMD. Eligibility: - People who completed the AREDS2 study. Design: - Participants will have up to 2 study visits over 6 18 months. - Each visit will last up to 5 hours. The visits will be combined with annual follow-up visits in the AREDS2 study if possible. - At each visit, participants will undergo an eye exam and photography. - The eye exam includes testing sight, measuring eye pressure, and checking eye movements. To examine the inside of the eye, the pupil will be dilated with eye drops. - Photographs of the inside of the eye may be taken during the eye exam and while the eyes are dilated. - A contact lens may be placed on the eye briefly to look at the retina at the back of the eye.
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Eylea in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration in routine clinical practice in Germany. The study is purely observational, only data from routine treatment are to be collected. The treatment and treatment conditions are solely at discretion of the treating physician.
The Ranibizumab in Pigment Epithelium Tears Secondary To Age-Related Macular Degeneration (RIP) Study is a prospective, multicenter, uncontrolled, interventional phase 2 clinical trial that investigates the effect of fixed monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (Lucentis, Novartis Pharma, Germany) on visual acuity and retinal morphology over a study period of 12 months in 30 patients.
In this province, optometrists are often responsible for contacting the retinal specialists' office to arrange patients to be examined for suspected emergencies or more routine referrals related to the eye. This is often done by faxing a referral form to the specialists' office, where the retinal specialist will examine the information presented in the referral form and make a decision on when the patient should be seen. This current method has some important considerations, such as the difficulty of transmitting clear images of the back of the eye over fax. Having this information could help the retinal specialist in determining when the patient should be seen, especially in terms of booking additional tests or when treatment should be given. Teleophthalmology is a branch of telemedicine that delivers eye care through digital equipment and telecommunications technology. It offers some unique advantages, such as the ability to be integrated with electronic health records, the ability to be viewed by multiple members of the health care team, and potentially reduce wait times and travel times to the ophthalmologist. However, there is no comparison known to the study team between whether patients being referred from optometrists to retina specialists through a teleophthalmology system will be treated earlier than patients through a conventional fax system. This study aims to examine and provide more information on this topic.
Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who do not respond to usual treatment with conventional medications may respond to a new drug of the same class which is designed to block a larger fraction of proangiogenic factors.
