Filter by:This study is designed as a Multi-center, open-label, dose escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single and multiple intravitreal injections of IBI324 in subjects with DME
The VOYAGER study is a primary data collection, non-interventional, prospective, multinational, multicenter study. It is designed to collect real-world, long-term data to explore long-term effectiveness, safety, clinical insights, treatment patterns, and factors driving the treatment decisions among patients being treated with specified Roche ophthalmology products (Faricimab and Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab) in approved retinal indications (neovascular age-related macular degeneration [nAMD] and diabetic macular edema [DME]) in routine clinical practice. This study will not provide or make recommendations on use of any products including Roche products; treatment decisions will be determined by the treating physician and must be made independently to the decision to participate in this study. Participation in this study will not change or influence a patient's standard of care in any way.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is one of sight-threatening, immune-related ocular diseases. The efficacy of current treatments for CME (anti-VEGF, glucocorticoids and other agents) are limiting. Minocycline, acting as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is among tetracycline family and recently, its immunomodulatory and anti-apoptosis function has been replied to several immune diseases and degenerative diseases. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of minocycline for CME.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the real-world outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients.
Background Retinal vascular disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion are significant causes of vision impairment and blindness worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common retinal vascular disorder and is the leading cause of vision loss among patients aged 25 to 74 years. Aim to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone versus suprachoroidal triamcinolone in the management of diabetic macular edema.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased significantly in Hong Kong for the past decade [1]. Diabetic macular edema is one of the most common causes of vision loss in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus [3]. Before the introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, laser photocoagulation has been the mainstay treatment for patients with diabetic macular edema. There are two types of laser treatment modalities, namely focal laser, which can be applied either in a grid pattern over a region of macular edema or to selected microaneurysms, and subthreshold micropulse laser. Only one meta-analysis published in 2016 [16] had previously demonstrated superiority of micropulse laser over focal laser, while other studies showed no clinically significant differences between the two lasers. Nevertheless, micropulse laser had been proven to cause no structural changes to the retina and choroid, as opposed to focal laser. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a new, non-invasive imaging technique that allows a clear, depth-resolved visualization of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature in the macular region [22]. A recent case series study [17] has demonstrated early changes of retinal vasculature on OCT-A images after micropulse laser for diabetic macular edema. Another cross-sectional study [18] showed choriocapillaries alterations in some of the patients after receiving focal laser. We would like to compare the changes of different OCT-A parameters for patients receiving either type of laser, and hence evaluating their efficacy. We propose to take OCT-A images for patients before laser, 1-, 3- and 6-months post-laser based on the results of a recent case series [17]. We will analyse the OCT-A images with MATLAB software and compare the changes in different parameters between both lasers.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of D-4517.2 After Subcutaneous Administration in subjects with Neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or subjects with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
The aim of this study is to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone in the management of macular edema secondary to non-ischemic retinal vein occlusions, either central or branch.
Patients who were diagnosed as postoperative CME and administrated with intravitreal OZURDEX injection were reviewed. Outcome will include best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness (CMT). Recurrent CME and corresponding treatments were recorded.
Diabetes affects over 37 million Americans and over 530 million people globally. Each diabetic patient needs at least one retinal exam per year starting immediately at the time of diagnosis if they have Type II diabetes (and starting at 5th year after disease onset if they have Type I diabetes). However, majority of diabetic patients do not get their eye exam due to multiple prohibitive factors such as cost, transportation, difficulty of taking time off from work, and inconvenience, amongst others. As a result, diabetes is the most common cause of visual impairment and blindness in working age adults in the United States and globally. Early detection via effective screening can prevent diabetes-related blindness. However, there are multiple barriers to screening. This prompted the development of RETINA-AI Galaxy™ v2.0, an automated Software as a Medical Device that screens for diabetic retinopathy in the primary care setting. This observational study was designed to validate the safety and efficacy of the RETINA-AI Galaxy™ Software-as-a-Medical-Device.
