Active clinical trials for "Edema"

This study objectively held to compare the physiological outcomes in the non-invasive (NIV) treatment of Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (ACPE) patients in the Emergency Department (ED) delivered by helmet CPAP (hCPAP) and facemask CPAP (fCPAP).Patients will be randomized to receive either hCPAP or fCPAP.

When applied according to manufacturer recommendations, short-pulse system may yield more temporary reduction in edema while infrared micropulse system may yield slightly better functional outcomes.

This is an exploratory, prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, interventional, Phase IIb study designed to explore the associations over time between clinical assessments, multimodal imaging assessments, aqueous humor (AH) biomarker patterns, and genetic polymorphisms in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME) who are treated with faricimab.

The purpose of this study is to determine if intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injection at the time of cataract surgery will improve visual acuity and decrease post-operative swelling in diabetic patients requiring cataract extraction as compared to the conventional treatment of laser following cataract surgery. The subjects will be followed for 11 visits over 3 year. Visits will occur at screening,1, 3,6,9,12,18,24,30 and 36 months post surgery.

To investigate the role of ranibizumab and angiographically-directed peripheral scatter laser therapy in patients with clinically-significant diabetic macular edema (CSME) and peripheral nonperfusion. We propose a novel treatment of CSME in a subgroup of patients defined by a combination of ultrawide-field angiography (UWFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Within this classification scheme, patients with CSME are subdivided by the presence of: 1) focal macular leakage, 2) vitreomacular interface traction, and/or 3) peripheral nonperfusion. The successful treatment of diabetic macular edema would be dictated by pathophysiology-directed therapy based on this classification. The subgroup of interest for this clinical trial is characterized by diabetic macular edema, peripheral nonperfusion on UWFA, and the absence of macular traction on OCT. This group of patients has previously not been well recognized or characterized due to limitations in previous, standard angiographic evaluation of the retinal periphery. We postulate that this subcategory represents one with a high rate of failure of accepted therapies given persistence of the basic pathophysiologic mechanism for CSME, namely ischemia-induced production of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) from the retinal periphery. This also represents a population of patients with likely recurrence of CSME despite treatment with anti-VEGF therapy alone for the same reason.

The aim of this study is to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone in the management of macular edema secondary to non-ischemic retinal vein occlusions, either central or branch.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the most common causes of vision loss in diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine if early intervention with micropulse laser treatment in eyes with good visual acuity (20/32 or better) will improve or stabilize vision loss due to the complications of diabetic macular edema.

To evaluate the change in quality of life (NEI VFQ 25) in subjects with DME during the first year of treatment with aflibercept according to the EU Label.

In the prospective monocentric open label trial patients with diabetic macular edema will be treated with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab given for 3 months then with laser grid at month 4. During follow-up a ranibizumab injection will be performed every 2 months in case of best-corrected visual acuity decreased more than 5 letters.

To determine if there is visual benefit with Ozurdex treatment every three months compared to monthly anti-VEGF alone, in subjects with persistent diabetic macular edema. The investigator hypothesizes more frequent administration of Ozurdex in patients that have persistent diabetic macular edema will result in a more rapid and sustained improvement of visual acuity and/or optical coherence topography (OCT) compared to the use of anti-VEGF alone.
