Filter by:This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a 36-week refill regimen for the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab 100 mg/mL (PDS Q36W) compared with intravitreal injections of aflibercept (2 mg) administered per treat-and-extend (aflibercept T&E) in subjects with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
This is a prospective randomised study comparing two intravitreal antiVEGF drugs - brolucizumab and aflibercept - in the treatment of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP). Patients with RAP confirmed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and on OCT angiography (OCTA) will be randomised in two groups and followed for 52 weeks. Patients in the first group will receive aflibercept - 3 injections monthly for the first 3 months and then in treat-and-extend regimen with minimal interval of 8 weeks and maximal interval of 16 weeks. Extension or shortening of the therapeutic interval will be possible in 2 or 4 week increments based on the visual acuity and disease activity assessed on OCT. Patients in the second group will receive brolucizumab - 3 injections monthly in the first 3 months and then every 2 or 3 months based on the visual acuity and disease activity assessed on OCT. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT) on OCT and number of injections will be compared between both groups.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether switching nAMD patients from aflibercept to brolucizumab would permit extension of treatment intervals while maintaining treatment efficacy, thereby alleviating the treatment burden on patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and medical institutions.
Optical Coherent Tomography Angiography (OCTA)-Directed PDT Triple Therapy for Treatment-Naïve Patients with Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) versus Standard of Care Anti-VEGF Monotherapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate anatomical and functional effect of combination therapy of Squalamine Lactate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.2% administered twice daily with monthly ranibizumab intravitreal injections in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to AMD.
The purpose of this prospective interventional study is to assess whether adjunctive verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) is effective for the treatment of persistent disease activity in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NV AMD), as compared to anti-VEGF therapy (aflibercept) alone. This study will enroll individuals with NV AMD who have persistent disease activity in spite of either loading dose (initial 3-5 anti-VEGF treatments) or maintenance (established course) anti-VEGF therapy to determine whether PDT can improve disease activity, facilitate sustained visual acuity gains, and decrease burden of frequent anti-VEGF treatments for affected patients. Risks of study are related to treatment with study drugs: intravenous verteporfin, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, and intravitreal aflibercept. All have been studied extensively in clinical trials and are established treatments used routinely in NV AMD. Adverse events will be monitored by the principal investigator and study team.
This clinical study is a phase 1 study which carried out to to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability of multiple intravitreal injections of BCD-021(bevacizumab biosimilar candidate manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) when used in patients with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration.
An open label, non-comparative, multicenter, non-interventional, post marketing surveillance study to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of pegaptanib sodium(Macugen) in the treatment of Filipino patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration based on incidence of adverse events and to evaluate the efficacy based on visual acuity, and the patient's and physician's overall satisfaction with tolerability and efficacy.
Exudative age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is most common cause of blindness in old population. It is clear that no single therapy addresses the multifactorial pathogenesis of the disease. Recently, studies of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapies such as pegaptanib and bevacizumab have shown the beneficial effect in visual acuity in the treatment of neovascular ARMD. However, the problem with these intravitreal injections is that therapy must be frequently administered for a prolonged but unknown period of time to maintain the benefit. Prolonged, frequent injections may be associated with additional safety risk,lack of convenience and high treatment cost. Intravitreal steroid injection with anti-inflammatory properties limits any further VEGF upregulation initiated by the inflammation which has been known as one of the pathogenesis and causes of recurrence after the treatment of the neovascular ARMD. The researchers hypothesize that the combined treatment of intravitreal bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide may decrease the recurrence rate after the treatment and obviate the frequent intravitreal injections in the treatment of neovascular ARMD. In this study, the researchers will compare the recurrence rate of combined treatment of intravitreal bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide versus intravitreal bevacizumab alone in the treatment of neovascular ARMD.
