Filter by:This open-label, Phase IV prospective, observational study will evaluate patients, who have been diagnosed with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and have previously received either a standard intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept, in order to get and compare information regarding post-injection inflammatory (irritation in the eye)2-3 days post-injection. Additionally, patients will be evaluated for visual acuity and pain 2-3 days post-injection.
This study is designed to compare the post injection inflammation and pain seen after intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab vs Aflibercept.
This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study. The study group will be compose of NVAMD patients who had partial or complete failure responding to initial bevacizumab or ranibizumab treatment of 3-6 monthly intravitreal injections. The patients in the study groups will receive 5 intravitreal injections of aflibercept 2mg/0.05ml at specific visits. Aflibercept will be provided for total period of 24 weeks.
Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who do not respond to usual treatment with conventional medications may respond to a new drug of the same class which is designed to block a larger fraction of proangiogenic factors.
A study to use in home technology to reduce the burden of in office visits and injections.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a treatment effect of ESBA1008 applied as a microvolume injection or infusion on retinal function and morphology in subjects with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
This study will recruit patients who have recently had a submacular haemorrhage (bleed under the part of the retina responsible for detailed vision), as a complication of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is a very common disease where abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and leak, causing a significant reduction in vision. The study will investigate treatment of the bleed with various combinations of the two drugs: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - designed to dissolve the blood clot; and perfluoropropane (C3F8) - designed to shift the blood clot away from the central part of the retina (the macula). tPA is a commonly used 'clot-buster' drug for the treatment of stroke. C3F8 is a gas commonly used in eye surgery. Patients recruited will be divided into four groups: control group that receive none of the above drugs; one group that receives only tPA; one group that receives only C3F8; and one group that receives both. All patients will receive the current gold standard treatment for wet AMD, ranibizumab (Lucentis®). The aim of the study is to improve vision in a condition, which left untreated, would cause severe visual loss.
The purpose of this trial is to detect the influence of omega-3 supplements on vitreous levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment. Patients are randomized to receive either Age-Related Eye Disease Study 1(AREDS-1) supplements formula with the addition of Lutein or AREDS-2 supplementation that adds Omega-3 metabolites (DHA and EPA) to the formula. Our goal is to take a limited volume of vitreous sample from these patients previous to their regular anti-VEGF injection and perform a comprehensive cytokines and lipidomic profiling. We hypothesize, based on our previous basic science discovery of a potent anti-VEGF action of an Omega-3 metabolite (4-HDHA), that lipid metabolite composition and metobolite levels will significantly vary according to VEGF levels. Based on the results of this pioneering clinical study, our research team will proceed to evaluate the individual anti-angiogenic (vessel growth stopping) properties of the predominant Omega-3 metabolites found.
Exudative age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment is the gold standard treatment, recurrence is the main limitation of the treatment. The changes of the CNV vascular structure is expected to provide information regarding recurrence. In the eyes that the vascular structure is clearly seen in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), the vascular changes after ranibizumab injections will be investigated prospectively.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ESBA1008 versus EYLEA® in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration.
