Active clinical trials for "Choroidal Neovascularization"

The study will be designed as a case control evaluation to compare the genetic profiles of three groups of patients categorized according to diagnosis. Group 1 - CNV secondary to CSC Group 2 - CSC without CNV Group 3 - CNV secondary to advanced AMD.

estimate the sensitivity of the HMP test in identifying visual field functional defects in subjects with CNV secondary to AMD

The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of the PreView PHP(study device)to detect newly diagnosed non-treated Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV)lesion associate with advanced Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) or Myopia and differentiate them from Intermediate AMD or Geographic Atrophy (GA)or patients with high Myopia with no CNV. This study secondary is to enhance NotalVision normative database.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of the PHP & HPHP to detect newly diagnosed non treated Chorodial neovascularization (CNV) lesion associate with advanced age related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and differentiate them from Early/intermediate/GA AMD

ForeseeHome, an FDA-approved home device, was specifically designed for unsupervised Preferential-Hyperacuity-Perimeter (PHP) testing of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) patients at home by characterizing central and paracentral metamorphopsia . The purpose of the current study is to evaluate if, in post-treatment patients, PHP parameters as measured with the ForeseeHome are in agreement with clinical decisions and retinal characteristics as measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT).

The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) test in detecting neovascular AMD in eyes at high risk for CNV development. In order to test this hypothesis, we are conducting a multi-center clinical study at four participating clinical centers. A total of 227 participants will be enrolled. Participants will be followed-up for a period of two years, or until CNV develops in the study eye for which treatment is recommended, to determine the occurrence of CNV. The fundamental design principles of the study are simplicity and parsimony.

To suggest a novel classification of choroidal neovascular membrane based on optical coherence tomography angiography and to correlate morphological characteristics based on optical coherence tomography with clinical criteria of disease activity.

Retinal imaging is a corner stone in diagnosis of most retinal disorders. Standard imaging techniques e.g. fluorescein angiography and color fundus photography have a lot of limitations including limited resolution, invasive nature in cases of fluorescein angiography, and inability to segment the retina, accordingly, and only 2D image is provided. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a recent noninvasive imaging technique that allows for volumetric visualization of eye vasculature. OCTA has shown promise in better elucidating the pathophysiology of several retinal vascular diseases. Swept-source OCTA uses long wavelength ̰ 1,050nm, which can penetrate through deeper layers of the eye and can traverse opacities of media such as cataracts, hemorrhages and vitreous opacities. Optical coherence tomographic angiograms can further be manually or automatically segmented with preprogrammed software to highlight individual layers of the retina, optic nerve head choriocapillaris, and choroid. The user can either analyze en face images extending from the inner limiting membrane to choroid or use automated views to locate a vascular or structural lesion within the retina. Different quantitative metrics has been extracted from enface OCTA images including vessel density, FAZ area, choriocapillaries flow deficit, intercapillary area and fractal dimension. These metrics are helpful in evaluation the retinal perfusion and used by physicians to assess various retinal vascular disorders. Although some previous literatures had discussed the repeatability of OCTA metrics, however, comprehensive evaluation of widely used metrics in various retinal condition has not be done. Additionally, recent data suggest that various methods of calculation of these metrics my yield final different results of the same metric.

The FORESEE HOME is intended for the early detection of central and paracentral irregularities (abnormalities) in the visual field, most commonly associated with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). However, the device has the ability to detect the development of the lesion post treatment and therefore to assess in determination of the next treatment. The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) may be used as well to identify choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Comparison between the two methods will allow better understanding of both devices. The FORESEE HOME can be used as an assessment tool for the progression and success of the treatment given to AMD lesions. Therefore, evaluating the size and the location of the treated lesions may serve as an additional tool.

The aim of the study is to find biomarkers in the blood and aqueous humor of patients with type 1 choroidal neovascularization and correlate them with the response to anti-VEGF treatment.
