View clinical trials related to Uveitis, Anterior.
Filter by:Uveitis is a disease that affects over 2 million people around the globe, and can ultimately lead to blindness. The proportion of patients with uveitis who become blind has not been reduced over the past 30 years, and this is therefore an area that demands further research. One of the major causes of blindness in uveitic patients is the development of uveitic glaucoma, which occurs in 10-20% of uveitic eyes. This is likely to occur for reasons related to the uveitis itself, but can also be caused as a side effect of the corticosteroids used to treat uveitis. The raised IOP in uveitis is more difficult to treat than other types of glaucoma. To enable more effective treatment of uveitic glaucoma, the investigators need to understand more clearly the mechanisms which underlie this process. The investigators therefore propose a study to examine the contribution of altered aqueous dynamics to the development of raised IOP in uveitis.
Uveitis represents a heterogeneous group of diseases that results from ocular inflammatory reaction involving ocular tissue and vasculature. The inflammation usually causes pain, redness, photophobia and blurred vision. This inflammation, is typically treated with regional or systemic therapy. The regional therapy typically consists of topical corticosteroids or periocular or regional corticosteroids. Regional therapy can lead to a steroid response glaucoma, which is increased intraocular pressure.This pilot study aims to evaluate the possible effectiveness of H.P. Acthar in patients with active ocular inflammatory disease, and currently on treatment for glaucoma or have a history of glaucoma.
Treatment with ACTHAR Gel will result in a reduction of ocular inflammation in patients with active ocular sarcoidosis that requires systemic immunosuppressant therapy (hypothesis)
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of suprachoroidally administered triamcinolone acetonide, CLS-TA, in subjects with macular edema associated with non-infectious uveitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ocular iontophoresis with dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution EGP-437 using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System (EGDS) compared to prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (1%) in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).
This is a randomized, multi-center, investigator masked, comparator controlled study. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of NS2 in patients with non-infectious acute anterior uveitis. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive multiple doses of NS2 0.5%, NS2 0.5% and Pred Forte® 1%, or Pred Forte® 1%. Free aldehydes are thought to be related to inflammatory diseases such as uveitis. NS2, a small molecule aldehyde trap, may decrease inflammation by lowering aldehyde levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dexamethasone sodium phosphate Visulex (DSP-Visulex) after repeated-dose administration in patients with acute anterior uveitis.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide, CLS-TA, in subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis. A single suprachoroidal injection of one of two doses of CLS-TA will each be evaluated in subjects with macular edema following non-infectious uveitis.
Glaucoma, a progressive optic disc neuropathy causing visual field reduction, is the second leading cause of world blindness. The treatment of glaucoma is mainly based in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) with topical medications. Many patients required two or more medications to achieve a target IOP. Combinations of B-blockers and prostaglandin analogs (PGA) are frequently used in clinical practice because their additive effect in lowering IOP levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fixed combinations of timolol maleate and PGA on the blood-aqueous barrier and evaluate the measurement of foveal thickness in pseudophakic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
