Active clinical trials for "Retinal Vein Occlusion"

This study seeks to evaluate the effect of topical aqueous suppression on the anatomic and functional response to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections in non-responders with wet age-related macular degeneration.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dexamethasone-implant alone or in combination with bevacizumab. 64 eyes are prospectively investigated. Group 1 (22 CRVO and 16 BRVO) is treated with dexamethasone-implant alone, Group 2 (14 CRVO 12 BRVO) with three consecutive bevacizumab injections followed by a dexamethasone-implant. Recurrences are treated with dexamethasone-implant only. Patients are seen preoperatively and thereafter in monthly intervals. The primary endpoint was BCVA at twelve months.

This interventional study will evaluate the retinal vascular dynamics associated with Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI) therapy in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) or macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography will be performed at multiple timepoints to assess the changes in retinal vascular leakage, ischemia, and vascular abnormalities throughout the study duration and compare these alterations to baseline.

The use of intravitreal injections of corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide) appears to be a promising treatment for a variety of ocular diseases associated with inflammation. To date, the only drug available, "Kenalog-40 Injection" produced by Bristol Myers Squibb, has not been formulated for intraocular use. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and potential efficacy of novel intravitreal injections of a preservative-free formulation of triamcinolone acetonide (TAC-PF) at two dosage levels (4 mg and 8 mg) compared to anterior sub-tenon injections of TAC-PF at 20 mg. The study will be a masked, randomized Phase I study that will enroll 120 participants with one of the following diseases: age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), or any other retinal disease with associated macular edema. At least 21 participants will be enrolled in the four designated disease strata: AMD, DME, CRVO, and BRVO. The remaining 36 participants may have one of these diseases or may be enrolled with another retinal disease. Within each disease strata, at least seven participants will be randomized to each dosing group. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. The primary outcome will be an assessment of post-injection intraocular toxicity-related events during the 3-year follow-up, including cataract formation, development of glaucoma, and any adverse event preventing retreatment. The secondary outcomes will be an improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, EVA) and decreases in retinal thickening and area of leakage, from baseline to year 1.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone for the treatment of macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion.

Retinal blood vessel disease encompasses a wide variety of vision-threatening conditions. Of these conditions, retinal vein occlusions are the most common. Vision loss can occur as a result of macular ischemia (loss of blood flow to the macula) or macular edema (fluid build-up at the macula). OCT is an imaging technology that can perform non-contact cross-sectional imaging of retinal and choroidal tissue structures in real time. It is similar to ultrasound imaging, except that OCT measures the intensity of reflected light rather than sound waves. The purpose of this study is to see if non-invasive OCT technology can changes due to retinal vein occlusions as well as the more invasive fluorescein angiography, which requires an injection of dye into the vein of an arm of a patient. The study will also compare the mapping of blood vessels (angiography) and loss of blood flow (ischemia) by fluorescein angiography and OCT. These studies will be evaluated to see how they relate to vision loss.

This clinical trial is designed to compare ranibizumab in comparison with Dexamethasone implant after 6 months of treatment. In the study arm Ranibizumab will be given monthly in a pro re nata scheme whereas the comparator Dexamethasone implant is given once at Month 0 with sham injections PRN afterwards.

This clinical trial is designed to compare ranibizumab in comparison with Dexamethasone implant® after 6 months of treatment. In the study arm Lucentis will be given monthly in a pro re nata scheme whereas the comparator Dexamethasone implant is given once at Month 0 with sham injections PRN afterwards.

The purpose of this study is to compare visual improvement and total number of intraocular injections in eyes with macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)after initial treatment with Ozurdex (dexamethasone implant) or Avastin (bevacizumab).

The primary objective of this pilot study is to compare the functional and anatomic outcomes of chronic macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) treated with argon laser photocoagulation versus intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis®) injection versus a combination of both.
