Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Retinopathy"

To determine whether photocoagulation helps prevent severe visual loss from proliferative diabetic retinopathy. To determine whether a difference exists in the efficacy and safety of argon versus xenon photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

To compare the efficacy and comfort of two FDA approved pre-injection antiseptics when used for intravitreal injections.

The present study aims to support previous research on the effects of antioxidant therapy on the outcome of diabetic retinopathy and local oxidative stress values. The researchers intend to evaluate 56 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy undergoing the vitrectomy procedure, who will be assigned to a placebo group or combination antioxidant therapy. Each group will receive the intervention for 2 months. This intervention consists of taking one tablet (placebo or antioxidant therapy) orally, once a day. At the beginning of the study, only blood samples will be collected to evaluate the state of oxidative and metabolic stress at a systemic level. After 2 months of intervention, blood samples will be taken again on the day of the intervention, adding the samples of aqueous and vitreous humor obtained during the vitrectomy. The results obtained between both groups and the different analysis matrices will be compared.

To evaluate the added value of the use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of referable diabetic retinopathy in a teaching hospital setting

Although vitreous hemorrhage (VH) from proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) can cause acute and dramatic vision loss for patients with diabetes, there is no current, evidence-based clinical guidance as to what treatment method is most likely to provide the best visual outcomes once intervention is desired. Intravitreous anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy alone or vitrectomy combined with intraoperative PRP each provide the opportunity to stabilize or regress retinal neovascularization. However, clinical trials are lacking to elucidate the relative time frame of visual recovery or final visual outcome in prompt vitrectomy compared with initial anti-VEGF treatment. The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network Protocol N demonstrated short-term trends consistent with a possible beneficial effect of anti-VEGF treatment in eyes with VH from PDR, including greater visual acuity improvement and reduced rates of recurrent VH as compared with saline injection. It is possible that a study with a longer duration of follow-up with structured anti-VEGF retreatment would demonstrate even greater effectiveness of anti-VEGF for VH to avoid vitrectomy and its attendant adverse events while also improving visual acuity. On the other hand, advances in surgical techniques leading to faster operative times, quicker patient recovery, and reduced complication rates may make prompt vitrectomy a more attractive alternative since it results in the immediate ability to clear hemorrhage and to perform PRP if desired, often as part of one procedure. This proposed study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two treatment approaches for eyes with VH from PDR: prompt vitrectomy + PRP and intravitreous aflibercept injections.

To evaluate the effects of oral emixustat hydrochloride (emixustat) on aqueous humor biomarkers associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) from baseline to week 12.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of topical ocular PAN-90806 in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Laser therapy is an established method to stabilize and control proliferative diabetic eye disease. Questions on the long-term effect on the retina from these treatments remain to be answered. The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes in the retina following panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) over time, using structural and functional diagnostic tests.

To determine the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab injection as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of postvitrectomy diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (PDVH) accompanied by neovascular glaucoma (NVG) as a means of preventing recurrent vitreous hemorrhage （VH） and optimizing postoperative intraocular pressure（IOP）control.

To evaluate efficacy of different intravitreal Conbercept injection therapy in the treatment of severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
