Active clinical trials for "Macular Degeneration"

This is a safety and tolerability trial to evaluate the effect of subretinal injection of human embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelium cells in patients with dry Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and to perform exploratory evaluation of potential efficacy endpoints to be used in future studies retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cellular therapy.

This is a 5-year study of patients implanted with the Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT by Dr. Isaac Lipshitz) under Protocol IMT-002. All patients implanted with the telescope prosthesis who enrolled in the IMT-002 trial were asked to participate in this study to monitor long-term safety. Patients will undergo examinations at six-month intervals up to a total of 5 years following implantation.

This study was conducted because the FDA requested clinical information on potential effects of intravitreal injections of Macugen (pegaptanib sodium injection) on the corneal endothelium from a 1-year (minimum) post-approval clinical study to support that there are no adverse effects on the corneal endothelium following intravitreal injections of Macugen.

Multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with wet Age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) treated with intravitreal recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody

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.

In this study, markers of oxidative stress will be measured in the aqueous humour of stargardt disease, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy patients compared to controls.

To-date there have been only very few studies to examine the effect of cataract surgery to patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The evidence on the effects of cataract surgery in such patients suggests improvement of their visual function and quality of life, but at the same time a subclinical susceptibility to macular edema and exacerbation of the choroidal neovascularization. Therefore it is highly important to identify the optimum treatment regime, pursuing the best anatomical and functional postoperative results.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of every 2 week intravitreal aflibercept injections in a population of neovascular AMD patients that have demonstrated refractory subretinal fluid with or without intraretinal fluid despite prior monthly intravitreal aflibercept treatment.

Multicenter ，open-label, multi-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with wAMD treated with intravitreal recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody（SCT510A）

The purpose of this Phase I/II study is to investigate the safety and preliminary efficacy of unilateral intravitreally transplantation of adult bone marrow stem cells in subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
