Active clinical trials for "Choroidal Neovascularization"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injections of ranibizumab into the eye are safe and well tolerated when given to subjects in multiple doses.

The purpose of study is to determine if Lucentis combined with imatinib mesylate will help treatment in patients with newly diagnosed choroidal neovascularization.

The goals of this study are: To assess the impact of genetic testing based on how it alters behaviors, to assess the utility of serum biomarker measurement in combination with genetic testing, to assess the utility of genetic counseling in personal analysis of risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and to assess the impact of presymptomatic genetic testing for choroidal neovascularization (CNV).

Intravitreal pegaptanib for treatment of choroidal neovascularisation secondary to pathologic myopia

Anti-VEGF therapy has been proven efficacious for the wet (neovascular) form of macular degeneration and may be beneficial for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to other causes. The limitation of this type of treatment is the necessity for frequent intraocular injections. The purpose of this study is to determine if using anti-VEGF therapy in combination with photodynamic therapy can reduce the number of treatments needed with monotherapy while achieving similar visual results. There are ongoing multicenter trials evaluating combination therapy in patients with wet AMD but no similar trial for patients with CNV due to non-AMD causes. Therefore, in this study the investigators will focus on patients with CNV not due to AMD.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different regimens of 0.5 mg ranibizumab given as intravitreal injection in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Purpose: Determine the short-term safety of intravitreal bevacizumab by multifocal electroretinography (mf-ERG). Methods: 120 eyes with choroidal neovascularization, proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion received intravitreal bevacizumab (2.5mg/0.1cc). All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity, fluorescein angiography, optical coherent tomography and mf-ERG before and 1 month after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy as primary treatment for ICNV.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of anti-VEGF intra-vitreal injections (IVT) in CNV secondary

Injections of medicine into the middle of the eye (intravitreal injections) are commonly used in a multitude of retinal diseases. We are looking for new treatments that may be beneficial in treating retinal disease and improving patients' vision. Infliximab (Remicade) is a genetically engineered antibody against a molecule in the body called TNF-α. It neutralizes the effects of TNF-α by binding to it. Intravenous Infliximab has been used for inflammatory arthritic conditions and Crohn's disease since 1998. We do not know if infliximab injections into the eye are safe. We are performing this pilot study to determine if they can be safe.
