Active clinical trials for "Macular Edema"

CRVO occurs when the vessels in the back of the eye become blocked. This creates a dangerous condition because the vessels are weak and prone to leakage. This results in the development of macular edema. Previous studies have shown that inflammatory mediators and growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), are elevated in patients with macular edema associated with CRVO. Ozurdex® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available by prescription for macular edema following CRVO and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). It is also indicated for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. The approved dosage is 0.7 mg. Ranibizumab (Lucentis®) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available by prescription for other eye disorders, such as wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), macular edema following CRVO or BRVO, and diabetic macular edema (DME). The approved dosage for wet AMD and macular edema following CRVO/BROV is 0.5 mg given monthly. The approved dosage for DME is 0.3 mg given monthly. Dr. Gonzalez is conducting an investigational study on the safety and effectiveness of treating CRVO-associated Macular Edema with a combination of 0.7 mg of Ozurdex® and 0.5 mg Lucentis®, given as separate injections into the eye.

This study aims to assess if Lucentis injection applied into the eye is superior to conventional treatment concerning the prevention of visual loss in patients having clinically significant macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion

To Evaluate combined effect of vitrectomy and bevacizumab to stabilize retinal thickness and visual acuity in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema and their relation to renal disease.

Bevacizumab is an anti-VEGF agent used in approved for use in metastatic colorectal carcinoma (FDA Approved). This study analyzes the safety and efficacy of off-label Intravitreal Injection of bevacizumab (Avastin) for CNVM, Macular oedema due to diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusion and other retinal disorders.

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is one of the common causes of vision loss in patients with UveitiS .Triamcinolone has been effectively used in reducing CME and improving the vision. Also there are some documents which recommend Bevacizumab(avastin) could reduce macular edema. This study compare intravitreous injection of triamcinolone and avastin in patients with resistant uveitic cystoid macular edema.

Recent studies have shown that intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agent, Lucentis (Ranibizumab) is effective for macular edema associated with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). However, there is little information on whether there are any predictive factors of treatment outcome after this treatment. We plan to perform comprehensive functional and imaging tests to determine significant predictive factors.

To determine if an intravitreal sustained release dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) injected at the conclusion of surgery in patients undergoing vitrectomy and membrane peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membranes is safe and effective to decrease the macular edema, as demonstrated by a gain in vision and decreased in retinal thickness and volume.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injections of Aflibercept (Eylea) in treating Cystoid Macula Oedema (CMO) in patients with underlying Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treat-and-extend regimen extending to 4 months by intervals of 4 weeks using intravitreal aflivercept injection for treatment of macular edema secondary to BRVO.

The Use of a Combination of Ozurdex and Eylea Versus Eylea Monotherapy for Diabetic Macular Edema
