Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare brolucizumab (RTH258) ophthalmic solution for intravitreal (IVT) injection at two dosage levels (3 mg and 6 mg) to aflibercept ophthalmic solution for IVT injection (2 mg) in subjects with untreated active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye.
We propose to undertake a retrospective review of approximately 200 patients with a diagnosis of exudative macular degeneration treated with triple combination therapy (Bevacizumab, Dexamethasone and Photo-dynamic therapy) during the years of 2006 to 2010 at The Retina Center and compare those results with an additional group of approximately 200 patients also treated with triple combination therapy and 20 mg of daily oral zeaxanthin.
The objectives of this study are to investigate the safety and effectiveness of EYLEA.
After myopia, the second etiology of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in young adults (<50 years old) is idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (ICNV) whose etiology remains unknown. This is a rare and severe disease, which can lead to blindness. ICNV is treated at the moment with off-label anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) therapy and could also benefit from aflibercept (EYLEA), a new anti-VEGF currently indicated in Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Case reports suggest that such patients would not need as many injections as in AMD. INTUITION is an open-label, single arm, prospective, multicenter, phase II study. The main objective is to demonstrate the effectiveness in clinical terms after 52 weeks of treatment with aflibercept on the visual acuity of patients affected by ICNV. A specific dosage regimen is designed to achieve maximum efficiency. The patients are followed on a monthly basis until 52 weeks. Intravitreal injections of aflibercept are initiated with a Treat & Extend (TAE) regimen until 20 weeks (3 mandatory injections with reinjection only in case of CNV activity). Then, a pro re nata (PRN) regimen is considered until 52 weeks (reinjection in case of CNV activity).
Evaluate parathyroid gland perfusion during total thyroidectomy or thyroid totalisation surgery. Create an objective basis for the decision whether or not to transplant the parathyroid glands. Avoide postoperative serum calcium and parathyroid hormone dosages, and thus abstention of systematic supplementation with calcium and vitamin D in case of good perfusion.
This was a prospective, case-control study investigating aqueous levels of VEGF and PEDF in eyes with mCNV treated with IVB.
The primary objective of the study was to investigate current criteria driving re-treatment in patients affected by Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) secondary to Pathologic Myopia (PM) and experiencing a relapse of the disease after the first administration of ranibizumab.
Efficacy of monthly intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) associated to systemic immunosuppression in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease and choroidal neovascularization. Minimum follow-up 12 months. Endpoints: 6 and 12 months of follow-up. Outcome measures: improvement of VA, decrease in central foveal thickness as measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and absence of intra/subretinal fluid.
The goal of this study is to investigate whether using bevacizumab (Avastin®) is both safe and effective at decreasing the likelihood of a high-risk corneal graft rejection. Patients who are "high-risk" for rejection have blood vessels growing from the white of the eye into the cornea (clear, front region of the eye). The medication is used at the time of surgery and in the weeks following surgery. Participants have a 50/50 chance at receiving the active study medication or a placebo medication.
To evaluate and compare two individualised ranibizumab treatment regimens, differentiated by the definition of disease activity, which determines the treatment interval until the next injection. The results will be used to generate recommendations about ranibizumab treatment when using an 'inject and extend' approach to maximise patient outcomes, while reducing the need for potentially unnecessary intravitreal injections. This study will also investigate if genotypic expression influences response to intravitreal injections of ranibizumab between the two treatment arms. The study hypothesis is that intravitreal ranibizumab when administered to resolve IRF (and/or SRF >200 μm at the foveal centre) results in visual acuity benefit that is not clinically worse than intravitreal ranibizumab when administered to completely resolve both IRF and SRF in patients with wet AMD
