Multicenter Study on the Efficacy and Safety of OCS-01 in Subjects With Uveitis Related and Post...

Uveitis Related Cystoid Macular EdemaCystoid Macular Edema1 more

The goal of the LEOPARD clinical trial is to investigate a new kind of steroid eye drops, OCS-01. Macular edema is a condition in which there is collection of fluid (edema) in the back of the eye (Macula) and it can lead to severe loss of vision. Among other causes, macular edema can happen because of a disease of the eye called Uveitis, and also after eye surgery. Treatment of macular edema remains a challenge as the condition may persist for several months and may lead to irreversible changes in the eye and poor vision. In the LEOPARD study the investigators wish to see how safe is the study drug (OCS-01) and how well it works, in resolving the fluid collection in the eye in patients with Uveitis or in patients who have had eye surgery. Participants will undergo detailed eye exam, and record their eye and medical history to see what their disease status is and if they can be included in the study based on the study criteria. If included, they will take the study drug OCS-01 in different doses for 24 weeks. During the study period, they will have regular eye exams to ensure their safety and to assess the usefulness of the study drug.

Efficacy Analysis of Anti-VEGF Drugs Combined With Micropulse Laser in the Treatment of Diabetic...

Macular Edema Due to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The goal of this clinical trial is to clarify the efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs combined with subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) therapy on retinal function and anatomical recovery in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). The main questions it aims to answer are: To clarify the efficacy of anti-VEGF drugs combined with SML therapy on retinal function and anatomical recovery in DME patients. To explore the changes in visual acuity and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters before and after the treatment of DME with anti-VEGF drugs combined with SML, and further explore the changes in morphological characteristics of retinal microvessels and the potential treatment mechanism. Participants will randomly be given Intravitreous injection of anti-VEGF drugs or anti-VEGF drugs combined with SML therapy. All participants will be followed up for 6 months after treatment.

Minocycline Treatment for Cystoid Macular Edema

MinocyclineCystoid Macular Edema

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is one of sight-threatening, immune-related ocular diseases. The efficacy of current treatments for CME (anti-VEGF, glucocorticoids and other agents) are limiting. Minocycline, acting as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is among tetracycline family and recently, its immunomodulatory and anti-apoptosis function has been replied to several immune diseases and degenerative diseases. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of minocycline for CME.

Therapeutic Contact Lens Drug Delivery System (TCL-DDS) in Patients With Recurrent Cystoid Macular...

Cystoid Macular Edema

The main aim of the pilot study is to determine preliminary estimates of the safety, tolerability, and comfort of a dexamethasone-eluting therapeutic contact lens drug delivery system (TCL-DDS) for the treatment of recurrent cystoid macular edema. Secondarily, feasibility of the TCL-DDS system will be investigated. Safety: To establish that a topical dexamethasone delivery system has an acceptable safety profile by determining the incidence and severity of ocular adverse events, as identified by eye examination through day 28 following treatment initiation. Comfort and tolerability: to establish the subject tolerability and comfort of the TCL-DDS. Feasibility: To establish- that a topical dexamethasone delivery system is a feasible treatment for recurrent cystoid macular edema.

Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Vasogenic Pericontusional Edema.

Traumatic Brain InjuryCerebral Edema

The DEXCON-TBI trial is a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized, triple-blind, placebo controlled trial to quantify the effects of the administration of dexamethasone on the prognosis of TBI patients with brain contusions and pericontusional edema. Adult patients who fulfil the elegibility criteria will be randomized to receive dexamethasone or placebo. Patients who have suffered a head injury and have one or more cerebral contusions with visible pericontusional edema in the CT scan can be included in the study. The doses of dexamethasone will be a short and descending course: 4mg/6 hours (2 days); 4 mg/8 hours (2 days); 2 mg/6 hours (2 days); 2 mg/8 hours (2 days); 1 mg/8 hours (2 days); 1 mg/12 hours (2 days). The primary outcome is the Glasgow Scale Outcome Extended (GOSE) performed one month and 6 months after trauma. Other secondary outcomes are: compare the number of episodes of neurological deterioration; compare the symptoms associated with TBI; compare the presence of adverse events during treatment; compare the volume of pericontusional edema before and after 12 days of treatment in both groups of patients; and compare the results of the neuropsychological tests between the two groups of patients one month and 6 months after the TBI. The main analysis will be on an ''intention-to-treat´´ basis. A descriptive analysis of the baseline variables will be made for each treatment group. Logistic regression will be used to estimate the effect of dexamethasone and placebo on GOSE at one month and at 6 months, dichotomized in unfavorable outcome (GOSE 1-6) and favorable outcome (GOSE 7-8). Since the severity of the initial injury will determine significantly the final outcome of the patient, to assess the effect of dexamethasone, efficacy will also be analyzed using the 'sliding dichotomy'. A subgroup analysis will be carried out by stratifying the patients as they present more or less than 10mL of pericontusional edema in the preinclusion CT. We will perform an interim analysis with the patients included during the first year to calculate the conditional power. An independent statistician will blindly perform this analysis. At the same time a safety analysis will be also perfomed. A study with 600 patients would have about 80% power (two sided alpha=5%) to detect a 12% absolute increased (from 50% to 62%) in good outcome.

An Innovative Chinese Herbal Formula for Macular Edema

Macula Edema

Macular edema (ME) is caused by hyperpermeability of retinal vessels and/or decreased efflux of fluid across the retinal pigment epithelium induced by outer/inner blood-retinal barrier dysfunction (BRB). It is most commonly seen following many diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM), intraocular surgery, uveitis, retinal vein occlusion, and posterior segment inflammatory disease. An estimated 11% of patients with DM develop diabetic macular edema (DME). While the overall prevalence of DME among patients with DM aged 20 to 79 years is approximately 7.5%, the risk increases over time. Currently, there is no cure for ME. Chinese medicine (CM) is widely used to manage ME in China and other East Asian countries. Among them, Shenling Baizhu San (SBS) is one of the most commonly used formulae. In this proposal, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial will be undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified SBS (mSBS) developed by the project team for the treatment of ME. Eligible subjects will be recruited and assigned randomly to receive orally mSBS or placebo twice a day for 12 consecutive weeks, with follow-up for another 4 weeks after stopping the treatment to observe the duration of efficacy.

Study of Safety and Tolerability of EO2002 in the Treatment of Corneal Edema

Corneal EdemaCorneal Endothelial Dysfunction7 more

Corneal edema is the most common indication for corneal transplantation, accounting for approximately 70% of penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and 100% of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) procedures annually. There is currently no disease-modifying treatment for corneal edema. Topical treatments like hypertonic saline are not effective on a long-term basis. For those with advanced disease, where edema and vision loss are not controlled by topical treatment, the only option is a corneal transplant. A potential approach to avoidance of the risks of corneal transplantation is to inject cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) into the anterior chamber of the eye. This approach may avoid surgery by re-populating the inner most aspect of the cornea with functioning endothelial cells. Emmecell has developed a treatment based on technology integrating biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles with cultured HCECs to treat corneal edema in a minimally invasive way. The primary objective of this phase 1, prospective, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of EO2002 with and without endothelial brushing (EB) or Descemet Stripping (DS) in eyes with corneal edema secondary to corneal endothelial dysfunction that qualify for surgery involving full-thickness corneal transplantation or EK.
