Filter by:This is a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of multiple intravitreal injection TK001 in patients with AMD. It consists of core study (12 weeks) and extension study (40 weeks).
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of ranibizumab (0.5 mg on BCVA by 1+PRN vs 3+PRN) in Chinese patients with wet AMD. This study is to provide long-term safety data in the treatment of Chinese patients with wet AMD.
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability of single ascending doses of TK001(Recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) subjects.
Recently studies have shown that intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is effective for age related macular degeneration. However there are problems about injection regimen of maintenance phase. We plan to perform new simplified treat and extend regimen using ranibizumab.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the association between VEGF gene polymorphism and the response to intravitreal drugs in neovascular age-related macular degeneration. This is a retrospective review of patients treated between 2008 and 2012 at the Institute of Vision, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Treatment naive patients with subfoveal nAMD initially treated monthly with intravitreal anti-VEGF and subsequently PRN, will be included in this study. Patients will be investigated for the first 2 years monthly and subsequently according to disease activity but at least every two months. Patients will be examined with 4m BCVA ETDRS distance visual acuity, reading acuity measured by Radner-Reading-Charts, contrast sensitivity by Pelli-Robson score, microperimetry and HD-OCT.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the clinical and economic benefits of IRay treatment with respect to the number of anti-VEGF injections and frequency of visits during the first year after treatment for patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
In the Western World, Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of blindness. This disease was once thought to be a natural part of aging, but recent research has introduced effective treatments. ARMD is related to the body initiating an immune response in the eye, as if responding to an infection. Vision is impacted as ocular tissue becomes inflamed and new blood vessels form at the back of the eye, a process called angiogenesis. In the more severe wet form of ARMD, blood and fluid leak out of the vessels and impair the eye's structure and function. Many studies have shown that ranibizumab, a drug that stops the formation of new blood vessels (an anti-angiogenic agent) can delay damage to the eye and often restore vision. The investigators believe the best drug therapy will also stop the inflammation. Triamcinolone acetonide, a steroid drug, has shown the potential to effectively reduce inflammation in this application. The investigators aim to investigate if patients receiving a combination treatment of ranibizumab and triamcinolone acetonide improve their visual abilities more than those receiving just ranibizumab treatment alone. Secondarily, the investigators will also investigate how often patients receiving each drug therapy regime require re-treatment and how often they experience further vision loss.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether microplasmin given by intravitreal injection is effective and safe for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients who have focal vitreomacular adhesion (VMA)
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pegaptanib (Macugen®) for neovascular (exudative) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) when the first dose is administered to the submacular space instead of vitreous body in cases when previous state-of-the-art treatment for the AMD was deemed ineffective.
