Filter by:The surgically-harvested eye tissue (ie. vitreous-retinal proliferative membrane, outflow pathway, retinas, and pterygium) is a complex tissue responsible for maintaining intraocular homeostasis or mediating ocular pathogenesis. Dysfunction of one or more resident cell types within the tissues results in different ocular disorder, leading to vision loss, or even blindness. In this study, we aim to use single-cell RNA sequencing to generate a comprehensive cell atlas of surgically-harvested eye tissues.
The primary objective of the study is to determine if serial intravitreal aflibercept injections (IAI) improve the single surgery anatomic success rate following surgical repair of primary, macula involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) deemed at high risk for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Preclinical work has revealed that competitive inhibition of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) potentiates a pathologic, sustained activation of PDGF receptors that is critical to the progression of experimental PVR. VEGF blockade would mitigate this pathologic activation.
Study of initiating proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)cell subtype (PVR initiating cells (PVR-IC) in RPE cells of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients; to prove the percentage of PVR-IC decides the risk of serious PVR occurring after surgery; to investigate the safety and efficacy of early local steroids drug intervention in patients with severe postoperative PVR.
The aim of this study is to report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in retinal detachment (RD) accompanied with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after extensive Brilliant Blue G-Assisted internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using a 3D visualization system. This is retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes treated with PPV for RD repair. The patients were follow for 7 to 47 months (mean follow-up: 14.1 months ).
This multicenter randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of multiple intra-silicone oil injections of methotrexate (MTX) on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). 74 eyes with the diagnosis of RRD with PVR grade C will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. All eyes undergo pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) and intraocular injection of silicone oil (SO). At the end of the surgical procedure, intra-SO injection of 250 µg MTX will be performed in the intervention group. No intra-SO injection will be done in the control group. In the intervention group, Intra-SO injection of MTX will be repeated at 3 and 6 weeks postoperatively. Silicone oil removal will be done 3 months after surgery.Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) image of the macula will be acquired at months 3 and 6. The retinal reattachment rate at months 6 will be assessed as the main outcome measure of the study. Best corrected visual acuity, retinal reproliferation rate and adverse events are the secondary outcome measures. Comprehensive ocular examination will be performed at weeks 1, 3, 6 and at months 3, 4 and 6.
The GUARD Trial is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, adaptive Phase 3 clinical trial of repeated intravitreal injections of ADX-2191 versus standard-of-care for the prevention of proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
This is a pilot study to measure levels of albumin and inflammatory cytokines [including Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) and Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1β)] in the aqueous humor of post-operative proliferative vitreoretinopathy patients receiving subcutaneous injections of H.P. Acthar®, an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analog. The study will be conducted at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Hospital. A total of 15 patients will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to H.P. Acthar® or standard of care. Treatment duration will be 8 weeks and study duration will be 12 weeks. There will be a total of 7 study visits (baseline, day of surgery, post-operative day 1, week 1, week 4, week 8, and week 12). Subjects will self-administer subcutaneous injections of 80 units of H.P. Acthar® starting on post-operative day 1 for twice a week until week 8. Subjects in the control arm will be managed per the standard of care. Aqueous samples will be obtained at the onset of surgery, 1 day, 1 week and 8 weeks after surgery. Aqueous levels of albumin and inflammatory cytokines (including TGF-β and IL-1β) will be measured at each time point.
The aim of this study is to report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in pediatric retinal detachment (RD) accompanied with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) as well as complications and factors influencing the final anatomical and functional results. This is retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes treated with primary PPV for RD repair. Average postoperative follow-up period is 34 months.
Purpose: To determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of human recombinant decorin protein, a transforming growth factor ß (TGFß) inhibitor in preventing proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in patients with perforating globe injuries. Methods: This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, interventional case series. A single intravitreal injection of decorin 200ug (n=4) and 400ug (n=8) was given within 24 hours of injury. Pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection was done if indicated. ERG was done before injections, at day 10, and 3 months. Serial plasma decorin levels were assessed before injections, day 3, 5, and 10 post-injection. Clinical assessment included globe survival, retinal attachment rate, and PVR evaluation.
This study investigates the effectiveness of a simple treatment to prevent proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Intraoperative intravitreal 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used as a prophylactic therapy in high-risk patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Our major motivation is to reduce the incidence of PVR in the group that receives the trial drug.
