Active clinical trials for "Edema"

Both aflibercept and bevacizumab have been shown to improve vision in eyes with DME. In eyes with DME and at least moderate vision loss, both aflibercept and bevacizumab were also shown to be successful in many eyes. However, aflibercept was shown to be more effective at improving vision, on average, at 1 year and at 2 years. Due to the large cost difference between the two drugs, many clinicians and patients are choosing to initiate treatment with bevacizumab and then switch to aflibercept depending on the eye's response to bevacizumab treatment. However, there is no scientific evidence that this treatment strategy is as effective at improving vision as initiating treatment with aflibercept. Patients and clinicians do not know if this approach ultimately has deleterious effects on visual acuity. If starting with aflibercept is not better than starting with bevacizumab and switching to aflibercept if needed, the potential cost savings to future patients and the health care system would be substantial. However, if starting with aflibercept is better, then patients, clinicians, and health care providers can make informed decisions for how to best treat patients with DME and at least moderate vision loss. Study Objectives To compare the efficacy of intravitreous aflibercept with intravitreous bevacizumab + deferred aflibercept if needed in eyes with CI DME and moderate vision loss

An open-label study of safety and effectiveness of EN3835 in the treatment of cellulite in adult women.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in treatment of patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME).

The aim of this study is to determine whether oral losartan is effective in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) as an adjuvant for intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB).

To provide treating physicians with experience with ILUVIEN as well as monitoring its safety (and effectiveness) in a real-life chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) patients judged insufficiently responsive to available therapies.

A Phase 2 Multi center, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked Clinical Trial Designed To Evaluate The Safety And Exploratory Efficacy Of Luminate® (Alg-1001) As Compared To Avastin® In The Treatment Of Diabetic Macular Edema

To explore a more clinical feasible treatment regime with ranibizumab for DME to provide satisfactory treatment effect with a lower number of visits and injections.

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study, enrolling 21 subjects in one of the two treatment groups to determine the effects of topical ocular administration of low dose or high dose MTP-131 given twice a day in subjects with Diabetic Macular Edema and Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose: To compare the effects of macular photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) or triamcinolone (IVTA) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). Casuistic and Methods: 58 eyes of 44 patients with diffuse DME were randomized to receive either IVB + focal/grid laser (IVB-Laser, n=19), IVTA + focal/grid laser (IVTA-Laser, n=16) or focal/grid laser alone (Laser, n=23). Ophthalmic evaluation, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness (CMT) were performed at baseline and monthly for 12 months.

This is an open-label, Phase I/II study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab either 0.5-mg and/or 2.0-mg in subjects with clinical, angiographic, and ocular coherence tomography (OCT) evidence of diabetic retinopathy with associated diabetic macular edema following bevacizumab therapy. Thirty patients will be enrolled in this study. Consented, enrolled subjects will receive multiple open-label intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab administered every 30 days (±7 days) for 3 injections during the mandatory treatment phase (Day 0, Month 1, and Month 2). Subjects with complete resolution of diabetic macular edema after 3 intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab will be treated as necessary with 0.5 mg ranibizumab to treat recurrent macular edema for an additional 9 months (12 months from Day 0). The intent is to administer additional ranibizumab treatment if there is evidence of disease activity documented on OCT (e.g., intra-retinal fluid, subretinal fluid and/or cystic changes). Subjects with residual diabetic macular edema following 3 intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab will be receive 3 intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab administered every 30 days (±7 days) for 3 injections at the Month 3, Month 4, and Month 5 study visits. Beginning at the Month 6 study visit, subjects with complete resolution of diabetic macular edema following 3 intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab will treated as necessary with 2.0 mg ranibizumab injections only to treat recurrent macular edema for an additional 6 months (12 months from Day 0). Subjects with residual diabetic macular edema following 3 consecutive intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg ranibizumab will be treated as necessary with 2.0 mg ranibizumab to treat persistent or recurrent macular edema for an additional 6 months (12 months from Day 0). Focal photocoagulation or intravitreal triamcinolone may be administered at the physician's discretion as an adjunct to ranibizumab injections beginning at Month 6 through Month 12 of the study. All subjects will make monthly visits for 12 months for evaluation of safety and efficacy. All subjects will have their first injection of ranibizumab on Day 0 and undergo a safety visit one week (±2 days) after the first injection. At subsequent visits, the subject will have a safety evaluation at the monthly scheduled follow-up visit prior to any intravitreal injection. Subjects will be contacted by the site personnel 1-2 days after each injection to elicit reports of decreased vision or pain or unusual new ocular symptoms in the study eye.
