Filter by:This is a safety and tolerability trial to evaluate the effect of subretinal injection of human embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelium cells in patients with dry Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and to perform exploratory evaluation of potential efficacy endpoints to be used in future studies retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cellular therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of GSK933776 in the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
ForeseeHome, an FDA-approved home device, was specifically designed for unsupervised Preferential-Hyperacuity-Perimeter (PHP) testing of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) patients at home by characterizing central and paracentral metamorphopsia . The purpose of the current study is to evaluate if, in post-treatment patients, PHP parameters as measured with the ForeseeHome are in agreement with clinical decisions and retinal characteristics as measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Purpose To evaluate the cataractogenic effect of intravitreal ranibizumab with the use of Lens Opacity Classification System III (LOCS III). Settings Cases with a diagnosis of wet AMD were included in this university practice based prospective study. Methods All cases had monthly injections of intravitreal ranibizumab in the first 3 months; subsequently an OCT-guided pro re nata injection regimen has been adopted. All cases had a comprehensive eye examination and LOCS III evaluation at baseline and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the initial injection. Examination outcomes and change from baseline in LOCS III grades at 12 months were recorded. Results Eighteen eyes of 13 cases (7 female, 6 male) were included in this study. The mean age at the baseline was 75,3 + 6,6 years. A mean of 3,4 + 0,7 injections were given on each eye. Mean follow-up was 13,83 + 2,33 months. Baseline mean visual acuity improved from 1,04 + 0,10 logMAR units to 0,76 + 0,26 logMAR units after 3 injections (P < 0.05). At the 12th month of follow-up mean visual acuity was 0,71 + 0,27 logMAR units. According to LOCS III grades none of the cases had a prominent change in nuclear color, nuclear opalescence, cortical and posterior subcapsular opacification throughout the follow-up. IOP remained stable at all follow-up points. No complications were recorded throughout the study. Conclusion Intravitreal ranibizumab is an efficient treatment in wet AMD. Results of LOCS III assessments in this pilot study suggest that intravitreal ranibizumab has no effect on the progression of lens opacity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVBI) with respect to simple observation in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) presenting at baseline with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) less than 20/200.
This study will describe the long-term safety and effectiveness, treatment patterns,and patient reported quality of life associated with ranibizumab treatment in routine clinical practice for all approved indication included in the local product label.
The objective of the study was to investigate the influence of a intervention with lutein und zeaxanthin from crucifers on the optical density of the macular pigment of patients with non exudative age-related maculopathy. It is hypothesized that the applied study beverage elevates plasma concentrations of the administered xanthophylls and the optical density after 4 weeks of intervention.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of primary blinding eye disease among people over 65 years in China. The anti-VEGF antibody treatment is proved useful for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) by many studies. Bevacizumab is the only available low-cost type of anti-VEGF drug currently in China. This study is a multi-center, randomized trial of Bevacizumab effective dose and safety for nAMD. This study is to explore the effective therapeutic approach that the majority of patients in China can bear establishing a suitable treatment for China.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and the effects of treatment on ocular outcomes following a single intravitreal administration of ESBA1008 compared with LUCENTIS® in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The purpose of this first in man study is to examine the safety of an experimental gene transfer agent, RetinoStat, designed to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
