Oral disulfiram (Antabuse®) has been shown to improve image-forming vision in animal models with retinal degeneration due to its ability to decrease Retinoic Acid synthesis and consequently reduce hyperactivity in the inner retina. The investigator will aim to evaluate the impact of oral disulfiram on the vision of patients with retinal degeneration who are being treated with the drug in the management of their concurrent alcohol use disorder.
Macular edema in diabetes, defined as retinal thickening within two disc diameters of the center of the macula, results from retinal microvascular changes that compromise the blood-retinal barrier, causing leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina and consequently retinal edema. Thickening of the basement membrane and reduction in the number of pericytes are believed to lead to increased permeability and incompetence of the retinal vasculature. This compromise of the blood-retinal barrier leads to the leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina with subsequent retinal edema. Hypoxia produced by this mechanism can also stimulate the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases retinal vascular permeability, causes breakdown of the blood-retina barrier and results in retinal edema. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of visual reduction in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The prevalence of DME globally is around 6.8 %. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness worldwide. DME is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that affects the macula, which is located at the center of the retina and responsible for central vision. Bangladesh is the 10th country in the world for the number of adults living with diabetes with some 7.1 million (5.3-12.0). In Bangladesh, it is therefore expected that diabetic secondary complications, like DR, will increase along with the rising trend of diabetes mellitus. The use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized in the treatment of many diseases. In recent years, millions of patients have been successfully treated with these biological agents. Ranibizumab is one such therapeutic monoclonal antibody for intraocular use. Ranibizumab is a humanized, recombinant, immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody fragment against vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and thus prevents choroidal neovascularization. The small size of ranibizumab allows for enhanced diffusion into the retina and choroid.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IVB102 injection in subjects with XLRS.
While inherited retinal diseases are well characterized anatomically and functionally, it is also essential to understand their impact on patients' quality of life, from their ability to perform the tasks of daily living to the psychological impact of the disease on patients. Questionnaires (PRO, Patient-Reported Outcomes) are important tools for assessing this impact. However, PROs validated in French are rare, and often poorly adapted to populations with hereditary retinal degeneration. New PROs particularly adapted to retinal degeneration have recently been validated in English: the Michigan Retinal Degeneration Questionnaire (MRDQ) and the Michigan Vision-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (MVAQ). Validation of a French translation will provide a standardized, reliable tool for French-speaking patients, and enable these questionnaires to be used in gene therapy clinical trials, to assess the efficacy of treatments and their impact on patients' quality of life.
This study aims to assess whether, and the degree to which, ofatumumab modulates or reduces rates of retinal atrophy in people with relapsing-remitting MS (RMS), according to baseline serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels.
This study will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects will be consented to return for scheduled study visits for this study following their completion in study NTXMCO-002 (RESTORE). They will not receive a second treatment with MCO-010 (or a repeated sham injection) in this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of foselutoclax (UBX1325) in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Assess the efficacy of foselutoclax compared to aflibercept - Assess the safety and tolerability of foselutoclax
This study "A Long-Term Follow-Up Study in Subjects Who Received an Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Serotype 2 Containing the Multi-Characteristic Opsin Gene (vMCO-I) Administered Via Intravitreal Injection" is an observational study and will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP)- International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects satisfying all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. All subject who completed the parent clinical study (NSCT/CT/18/01) will undergo safety and efficacy assessments up to 5 years post study drug injection
