Filter by:Intravitreal ranibizumab alone was Compared to adding dexamethasone to ranibizumab regarding central macular thickness, the visual acuity and the number of intravitreal injections needed to achieve the same effect on CMT and BCVA at the end of the 6 months duration of the study. Any significant change in final IOP, compared to baseline, in either group is reported.
This study is designed to investigate treatment response in treatment-naïve underrepresented patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) who are treated with faricimab. The study population will consist of participants ≥18 years of age who self-identify as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino American, or Native American/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; in addition, a cohort of Asian Indian participants will be enrolled in India.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is part of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and a leading cause of central visual loss in people with diabetes . Most patients require pharmacological inhibition using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents with multiple monitoring visits that include optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual acuity test, and multiple injections.The substantial visit frequency puts pressure on ophthalmic clinics, and can impose a tremendous burden on both patients and their caregivers. Therefore, self-service examination instruments that can be portable and fast-moving become the key for realizing tele-medicine. Recently, the investigators have developed a portable, self-administrated home OCT machine, which is designed for home-based OCT scanning and monitoring for patients with retinal diseases including DME, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) that require multiple anti-VEGF injections. The investigators have confirmed its image quality and validated the retinal thickness measurements obtained from this device by comparing with hospital OCT (staff-administrated and clinic-based).In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a home OCT monitoring model versus standard hospital care model for patients with diabetic macular edema who need anti-VEGF injections.
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy is the major intervention for treating ischemic retina diseases. According to FDA and China Food and Drug Administration, Ranibizumab, Aflibercept, and Conbercept are major types of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy drugs. In the current study, the primary aim is to observe the visual acuity, anatomy effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in the real-world setting.
Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, expressed as improvement in visual acuity in patients suffering diabetic macular edema after one year of treatment with PRO-169, compared to treatment with Lucentis® (ranibizumab).
In this study, measurements of central macular thickness using optical coherence tomography along with examination of visual acuity by Snellen's chart in diabetic hypertensive patients will be done .
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of using autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) system for identification of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema on productivity of retina specialists in Bangladesh. Globally, the number of people with diabetes mellitus is increasing. Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic, progressive complication of diabetes mellitus that affects the microvasculature of the retina, which if left untreated can potentially result in vision loss. Early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy can prevent potential blindness. Study Aim: To assess the impact of using autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) system for detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema on physician productivity in Bangladesh. Main study question: Will ophthalmologists with clinic days randomized to use autonomous AI DR detection for all persons with diabetes (diagnosed or un-diagnosed) visiting their clinic system have a greater number of examined patients with diabetes (by either AI or clinical exam), and a greater complexity of examined patients on a recognized grading scale, per physician working hour than those randomized not to have autonomous AI screening for their diabetes population? The investigators anticipate that this study will demonstrate an increase in physician productivity, supporting efficiency for both physicians and patients, while also addressing increased access for DR screening; ultimately, preventing vision loss amongst diabetic patients. The study has the potential to contribute to the evidence base on the benefits of AI for physicians and patients. Additionally, the study has the potential to demonstrate the benefits (and/or challenges) of implementing AI in resource-constrained settings, such as Bangladesh.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of using the Oxulumis® microcatheterization device to administer Triesence® to the suprachoroidal space in participants with DME.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a major cause of suboptimal postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery. Topical steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to prevent CME. However, noncompliance with eye drops may compromise the effectiveness of treatment. Dropless periocular drug delivery during cataract surgery may improve the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of cataract surgery, and may alleviate the burden on homecare organizations.
Study BP43464 is a phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-masked active comparator-controlled study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of vamikibart in combination with, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, ranibizumab compared with ranibizumab alone in participants with diabetic macular edema. Only one eye will be chosen as the study eye. The duration of the study will be 76 weeks.
