Active clinical trials for "Edema"

This study is designed to investigate treatment response in treatment-naïve underrepresented patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) who are treated with faricimab. The study population will consist of participants ≥18 years of age who self-identify as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino American, or Native American/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; in addition, a cohort of Asian Indian participants will be enrolled in India.

this study will compare the efficacy and safety of use either Ranibizumab and Aflibercept in treatment of macular edema resulting from non ischemic central retinal vein occlusion in patients younger than 5o years old

The purpose of this study is to determine if kinesiotaping for edema management will decrease post-operative edema in patients with bilateral total knee arthroplasty. The leg receiving kinesiotaping during inpatient rehabilitation may have decreased edema and pain and improved movement and function when compared to the leg not receiving kinesiotape.

FT-003 is a gene therapy product developed for the treatment of central involvement diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, and diabetic macular edema is the main cause of vision loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy. In the latest guidelines, anti-VEGF therapy is preferred for CI-DME. Administration of FT-003 has the potential to treat CI-DME by providing intraocular protein which is durable expressed in therapeutic level. FT-003 is designed to reduce the current treatment burden which often results in undertreatment and vision loss in patients with CI-DME receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice.

To determine the Effects of foot exercises with and without hydrotherapy on pedal Edema & lower extremity function in antenatal women.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare safety, tolerability, efficacy, and durability of two dose levels of suprachoroidal sustained-release OXU-001 (dexamethasone microspheres; DEXAspheres®) using the Oxulumis® illuminated microcatheterization device compared with intravitreal dexamethasone implant (OZURDEX®) in subjects with diabetic macular edema.

To determine safety, pharmacokinetics, and duration of effect of periocularly administered AIV007 gel suspension in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME).

This is an open label dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and treatment benefits of MS-553 in treatment-naive diabetic retinopathy patients with central involved macular edema. Fifteen subjects with diabetic macular edema will be enrolled into each of three dose cohorts and will receive oral administration of MS-553 for 8 weeks.

Objective: To determine the association between baseline aqueous cytokine levels and treatment intervals for patients under a variable dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: A prospective, single-centre study will be performed containing 3 sub-studies according to each study population: nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO and DME. Inclusion criteria are: patients followed at St. Michael's Hospital with the diagnosis of nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO or DME. Patients will be excluded if visual acuity is worse than counting fingers, with macular pathologies causing any structural changes to the retina, have received anti-VEGF injections or photocoagulation therapy 6 months prior to study, intraocular surgery 3 months prior to study, any history of vitreoretinal surgery or ocular inflammation in the study eye, use of systemic or topical anti-inflammatory or steroids, patients on dialysis for renal failure, allergy to the study drug or fluorescein, <18 years old, women who are pregnant. All patients will be treated with ranibizumab intravitreal injections on a variable dosing regimen: Patients with DME will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months (baseline, weeks 4 and 8). Afterwards, they will continue to be seen monthly and the need for new injections will be decided upon the clinical findings at each visit. An anterior chamber (AC) tap will be done if an injection is required at the visit. Patients with nAMD and RVO will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months. From weeks 12 until 72 (month 18), the visits will be scheduled at increasing 2-weeks intervals based on the stability of the ocular condition and response to treatment. At each visit, an injection and AC tap will be performed. The maximum interval in between injections is 12 weeks. If the disease becomes unstable, the interval in between injections is shortened and, once it stabilizes, the treatment frequency is extended again. In all patients, baseline aqueous humour specimens will be obtained prior to the first ranibizumab intravitreal injection and follow-up samples will be taken immediately prior to subsequent injections based on the treatment regimens for cytokine analysis in the end of the follow-up.

Although the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab has been established in several phase 3 trials, there is only little documented about the long-term safety and efficacy in the 'real-world practice' in large populations from different regions. Therefore the investigators evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of intravitreal treatment with bevacizumab by registration of best corrected visual acuity, side-effects and central retinal thickness as measured with the ocular coherence tomography if available. This will allow the investigators to compare the results of their centre with the results of several phase 3 trials from the literature and will guide improvements in their treatment protocols.
