Active clinical trials for "Macular Degeneration"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effects of investigational drug AL-39324 for the treatment of wet AMD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*2402 or A*0201 restricted epitope peptides VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 in patients with Neovascular Maculopathy, including Age Related Macular Degeneration

This open-label, randomized, Phase II research study will look to see whether an investigational treatment combining bromfenac ophthalmic drops with ranibizumab intravitreal injection is safe and effective for treating wet AMD as compared to ranibizumab alone.

This is a 28 day study to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of pazopanib eye drops on the central retinal thickness of AMD patients

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of focal delivery of radiation for the treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age related macular degeneration that have failed Primary Anti-VEGF therapy.

This is a one-year, randomized, single-center open-label pilot study of the safety and efficacy of combination ranibizumab and PDT for AMD. Eligible subjects will be randomized to either combination treatment, or ranibizumab monotherapy (control group). The combination treatment group will receive ranibizumab, followed 1 week later by verteporfin PDT. Additional treatments will be based on evidence of active disease (subretinal fluid on OCT or leakage on FA): repeat ranibizumab injections will be allowed monthly, and repeat PDT will be allowed every 3 months. The control group will receive "standard-of-care" ranibizumab monotherapy according to the protocol currently followed by most retinal specialists. Ranibizumab injections will be given at baseline and months one and two. Additional injections will be given at each monthly visit at which there is evidence of active disease by visual acuity, OCT and FA criteria.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of primary blinding eye disease among people over 65 years in China. The anti-VEGF antibody treatment is proved useful for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) by many studies. Bevacizumab is the only available low-cost type of anti-VEGF drug currently in China. This study is a multi-center, randomized trial of Bevacizumab effective dose and safety for nAMD. This study is to explore the effective therapeutic approach that the majority of patients in China can bear establishing a suitable treatment for China.

Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the first cause of visual impairment in elderly patients in industrialized countries. Neovascular or "wet" AMD, characterized by the presence of choroïdal neovessels, represents the most aggressive form of the disease. Its prevalence is 3.3% among patients older than 65 years in Europe, and increases with age. Intraocular injections of anti-angiogenic monoclonal antibodies (ranibizumab) to treat AMD have appeared recently. It is derived from a larger sized molecule, bevacizumab, which do not have the market authorization for this indication. However, numerous publications of case series seem to show the effectiveness and a satisfactory safety profile of bevacizumab. These conclusions have to be confirmed with a high level of evidence study. The aim of the GEFAL study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of effectiveness in clinical terms after 12 months of treatment with bevacizumab compared to ranibizumab on the visual acuity of patients affected by neovascular AMD.

To evaluate the efficacy, based on the best-corrected visual acuity (using the ETDRS chart), of a 0.3 mg/eye pegaptanib sodium intravitreous injection given every 6 weeks for 54 weeks in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration and evidence of recent onset, subfoveal and/or juxtafoveal choroidal neovascularization.

The study will test if the efficacy and safety of an alternative dosing regimen is as effective as monthly injections.
