Active clinical trials for "Macular Edema"

Evaluation of safety and tolerability of a single injection of NOVA63035 "Corticosteroid" administered at one of four doses in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) secondary to diabetic retinopathy

The endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been implied in the genesis of diverse Neovascular disease. In the industrialized and developing countries, the main cause of blindness is the diabetic retinopathy. Bevacizumab (Avastin, genentech, Inc., San Francisco, California, the USA) is a drug.In the last years its use "off-label", in ophthalmology field, has become popular. This is due to its proven safeness and effectiveness for the treatment of diverse ocular diseases. A lot has been speculated about the systemic absorption of Bevacizumab. It is for that reason that the objective of this study is the systematic and random revision of the fellows eyes, of the patients programmed for the intravitreal administration of Bevacizumab, with bilateral macular edema. In such a way that the therapeutic value in the fellow eye of bevacizumab can be determined

The protocol will measure a number of cytokines in addition to vascular endothelial growth factor in response to 0.3mg Lucentis.

This is a multicenter study designed to evaluate usability of ranibizumab PFS in patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration or macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

Title of study: Effects of Ranibizumab to delay or regression non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR) with DME assessed by microaneurysm changes: A pilot study Objectives Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of visual impairment. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factors have demonstrated therapeutic benefits in diabetic macular edema (DME). We aimed to prospectively analyze the effects of early intensive treatment using intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy patients with macular edema. Primary objective: To investigate other efficacy endpoints including other visual acuity, anatomical change in mild-to-moderate NPDR with DME after intravitreal Ranibizumab injection from baseline through 6 months after treatment. Secondary objectives: To compare microvascular changes assessed by microaneurysm counts and perifoveal non-perfusion area changes and safty in eyes of mild-to-moderate NPDR with DME after intravitreal Ranibizumab injection from baseline through 6 months after treatment.

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.

Purpose: Cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been managed in several ways with little success. The aim of our study was to report the use of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in a large series of patients with RP and CME. Setting: Retrospective case series. Methods: Cases were diagnosed as RP based on the classic fundus triad of bone-spicule pigment deposits (intraretinal pigmentary migration), retinal vessel attenuation, waxy pallor of the optic disc along with night blindness and attenuated ERG amplitudes (delays in rod or cone b-wave implicit times). Family history of RP and family screening for RP were important in establishing the diagnosis in eyes with some diagnostic challenge. CME was diagnosed by intravitreous fluorescein angiography IVFA and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). BCVA was monitored using Snellen visual acuity chart and CME was monitored by SD-OCT on follow-up visits.

Efficacy of Treat-and-extend regimen (TER) using aflibercept in diabetic macular edema (DME) will be evaluated.

The objective of this clinical trial is to compare and evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ranibizumab (Lucentis®; Novartis AG, Basel, Switzerland) monotherapy and Ranibizumab combined with R:GEN (Selective Retina Therapy) in patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema.

This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from macular edema and other disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
