The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
This is a Phase 1b open-label study to assess the bioactivity, ocular and systemic safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of repeated injections of KSI-301 at two dose levels: 2.5 mg and 5 mg
This research study is being conducted to determine the safety and tolerability of subconjunctival injections of aflibercept in the treatment of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema that has not responded well to first-line standard of care treatment (eye drops). Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) is swelling of the retina that can occur weeks or years after cataract surgery and typically results in decreased vision. Subconjunctival injections are injections placed just beneath the clear membrane (conjunctiva) of the eye. A recent report of one patient who received two subconjunctival injections of a similar medication to the one being studied here indicated that subconjunctival injections of this class of medication may be an effective and less invasive alternative to intravitreal injections for pseudophakic CME. Because of the similarity of the drugs and the patient's treatment success, we would like to see if subconjunctival injection(s) of aflibercept will work in treating pseudophakic CME. If successful, the risk of an intraocular infection and glaucoma that comes with standard of care treatments might be greatly reduced.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept (Eylea®) using two different treatment protocols in patients with vision loss from diabetic macular edema. While one group will be treated with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided 'treat and extend' regimen, the other group will be treated according to a visual acuity (VA) guided 'treat and extend' protocol. The patients will be randomized into two treatment arms using an automated randomization algorithm.
Despite improved glycemic and systemic control for many patients with diabetes, over the past several decades, diabetic retinopathy (DR) develops and progresses in a large proportion of patients, and visual loss from diabetic eye complications continues to be a leading cause of blindness in the US and other developed countries worldwide. Thus, even a modest ability to prevent DR onset or to slow DR worsening might substantially reduce the number of patients at risk for diabetes-related vision loss worldwide. Widespread use of an oral agent effective at reducing worsening of DR might also decrease the numbers of patients who undergo treatment for DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) and who are consequently at risk for side effects that adversely affect visual function. Two major studies of fenofibrate, the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) and The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD)-eye study, have demonstrated clinically important reduction in progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes assigned to fibrate compared with placebo. However, despite the positive clinical trial results, fenofibrate has not gained wide acceptance as a preventive agent by either ophthalmologists or primary diabetes care providers. Thus, it is important to provide further evidence demonstrating whether or not selectively increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) activity reduces progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy at baseline. Pemafibrate is a more potent and selective PPARα modulator than fenofibrate. Its efficacy is currently being evaluated in the Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular OutcoMes by Reducing Triglycerides IN patiENts With diabeTes (PROMINENT) study for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the large study cohort with a substantial proportion likely to have DR and the multi-year duration of the PROMINENT trial, this study represents a unique opportunity to assess effects of chronic PPARα activation through pemafibrate therapy on DR outcomes. Primary Study Objective: To assess whether treatment with pemafibrate (0.2 mg orally BID) compared with placebo reduces the hazard rate of diabetic retinopathy worsening in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy without neovascularization in at least one eye who are participating in the parent PROMINENT trial.
This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, masked, controlled, parallel group study is designed to demonstrate that suprachoroidal (SC) CLS-TA administered with intravitreal (IVT) anti-VEGF agent in subjects with treatment naive RVO is superior to IVT anti-VEGF agent used alone.
This study seeks to evaluate the effect of the intravitreal 0.7mg dexamethasone implant on central macular thickness and visual acuity in those patients with persistent macular edema after pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane.
This is a prospective, randomized, active control, two-arm parallel, double-blind, monocenter phase IV clinical trial. The trial compares empagliflozin to glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in addition to standard of care treatment. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are between 18 and 80 years of age will be recruited for the clinical trial and randomly allocated to either receive empagliflozin or glimepiride. The assumption of the study is that empagliflozin slows down diabetic retinopathy progression rate and thus a lower microaneurysm formation rate compared to subjects treated with glimepiride by substantially decreased cellular glucotoxicity will be achieved.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, masked, controlled, parallel group study of 12 months duration in treatment naïve subjects with RVO.
