Filter by:In this study, which will be performed as a randomized clinical trial, all patients with macular edema with central involvement (central macular thickness greater than 300 μm) and corrected vision less than or equal to 20/40 and better than 20/400 were included in the study. After a thorough eye examination, people are randomly divided into two groups. The first group was treated with intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab in three injections one month apart with receiving oral Acetazolamide tablets of 250 mg twice a day, and the second group was treated with intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab for three Loads are spaced one month apart. Ophthalmologic examinations and corrected visual acuity, as well as macular thickness examination, are repeated with Spectral-domain Optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) at the beginning of treatment and at the end of the first, second, and third months. At the end of the study, the rate of changes in visual acuity and macular thickness in the eyes in the two groups will be compared and will be statistically analyzed.
The study will compare the safety of ophthalmic bevacizumab in vials versus pre-filled syringes in subjects diagnosed with a retinal condition that would benefit from treatment with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab, including: exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or branch retinal vein occlusion.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is one of the most common causes of vision loss due to retinal vascular disease. Incidence of RVO has been raised in the last years due to increased coexisting systemic vascular risk factors as arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus and COVID-19. Macular edema (ME) is a major sight-threatening complication of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). BRVO and CRVO have the same pathology, an elevation in the intravascular pressure in the occluded vein leading to vascular wall damage causing leakage of fluid and release of inflammatory cytokines as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), respectively. In the past, the standard treatment for BRVO-related ME was grid laser photocoagulation and for CRVO-related ME was observation. But subsequent randomized controlled trials demonstrated significant functional and anatomical improvements among patients with ME secondary to BRVO or CRVO treated with intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors or corticosteroids compared to those treated with laser only. Anti-VEGF therapy decrease intravenous pressure, enhance blood flow and improve venous diameter and tortuosity. Also, intravitreal corticosteroid injection has been shown to improve vision and central macular thickness (CMT). Dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex®, Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) has potent antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Also it decreases the vascular permeability playing an important role in treating ME secondary to RVO. However, majority of eyes have been treated previously then shifted to dexamethasone implant as a second line for treatment of refractory RVO related ME.
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. It induces circulatory slowdown and blood stasis, which can appear as retinal hemorrhages. CRVO has been classically separated into two clinical forms: ischemic CVRO (possibly associated with cotton wool spots) and non-ischemic CRVO, the former being considered the most serious due to neovascular complications. More recently, a new classification has been suggested by Pierru et al. distinguishing two types of CRVO: type A characterized by low acute blood flow and type B with a slower onset. Type A is particularly associated with younger age, the presence of acute paracentral middle maculopathy, concomitant cilioretinal artery occlusion, and/or pulsatile arterial filling. Type B is more likely to occur in elderly patients, usually with high blood pressure, and multiple hemorrhages are frequently found on fundus examination. A retrospective study had shown a slight difference in favor of pulsatile CRVO in terms of the number of intravitreal anti-angiogenic injections required to treat macular edema and visual acuity changes. However, no statistically significant difference was observed. The objective of this study is to prospectively investigate whether spontaneous retinal artery pulses (SPARs) in patients with type A or B CRVO can be considered as a prognostic factor for the evolution of CRVO.
This trial is a phase II, multi-center, single-masked (assessors) dose-ranging study designed to evaluate the comparative safety and preliminary efficacy of two dosage regimens of the IBE-814 IVT Dexamethasone Implant in patients with DMO and RVO.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily the anti-inflammatory and anti-neovascular effect of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients suffering from macular edema and other inflammatory disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from macular edema and other disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
This study evaluates whether intravitreal autologous CD34+ stem cell therapy is safe, feasible and potentially beneficial in eyes with vision loss from central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Half of the participants will receive immediate cellular therapy followed by sham therapy 6 months later, while the other half will receive immediate sham therapy followed by cellular therapy 6 months later. Participants will be followed for a total of 1 year.
The purpose of this study is determine the number of patients with complete resolution of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion following 6 monthly injections of Aflibercept.
This is a Phase II, single arm, open label clinical trial. 60 RVO patients (including 30 BRVO and 30 CRVO, respectively) are enrolled in the study. The study included a fixed treatment period (3 months) and a PRN period (6 months). In the fixed treatment period patients will receive 3 consecutive monthly intravitreal of 0.5 mg Conbercept. In the PRN period, patients are monthly visited and retreatment will be needed according to the retreatment criteria pre-specified.
