Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Retinopathy"

To evaluate if intravitreal Ozurdex can reduce the incidence of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage after primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDRP).

More than 29 million people in the US are living with diabetes, many of whom will develop diabetic retinopathy (DR) or diabetic eye disease (DED), the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in working-age adults. Annual eye screening is recommended for all diabetic patients since vision loss can be prevented with laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF injections if DR is diagnosed in its early stages. Currently, the number of clinical personnel trained for DR screening is orders of magnitude smaller than that needed to screen the large, growing diabetic population. Therefore, to meet this large unmet need for DR screening, a fully-automated computerized DR screening system is necessary. This study is designed to assess the performance of EyeArt, an automated DR screening tool.

This study is directed to evaluate the role of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) in the evaluation of the perifoveal vascular network in type 1 diabetic patients, and to investigate the relationship between OCT-A-derived parameters and demographic and clinical factors, as metabolic control and duration of the disease.

Macular hole in proliferative diabetic retinopathy with fibrovascular proliferation may have unique features. Internal limiting membrane peeling facilitates hole closure only in cases with shallow macular detachment. Final vision is associated with preoperative visual acuity and degree of macula elevation.

The main objective of this study is to characterize and correlate diabetic macular edema (DME), i.e. increased retinal thickness, measured by Optical Coherence Tomograph (OCT), and retinal visual function. The secondary objectives of this study are the analysis and characterization of DME progression over time (between two visits), and the comparison of OCT data obtained with different devices. The results of this study will be used exclusively for scientific purposes.

The purpose of this study is to validate and characterize phenotypes of diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression based on available clinical data (demographic, systemic and ophthalmic data).

The study is designed as a prospective cohort study to assess changes in visual acuity and retinal thickening and surgical complications in subjects undergoing vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema. The study also aims to identify subgroups in which there appears to be a benefit of vitrectomy and subgroups in which vitrectomy does not appear to be beneficial and to obtain data that can be used to plan a randomized trial. Subject will be followed through 2 years, with a primary outcome at 6 months post vitrectomy surgery. The vitrectomy procedure will be performed based on the investigators usual care and is not considered part of the research although the procedure performed will be collected.

To evaluate the relation of retinal microvascular characteristics to subclinical cardiovascular disease, clinical disease, and their risk factors in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort.

To present the clinical characteristics and rational treatment of macular hole (MH) after the diabetic vitrectomy (DV) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

The object of this study is to investigate the damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex layer (GCL+) in diabetic patients without retinal microangioma as detected by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and to determine the kind of nerve damage more likely to indicate early injury.
