Active clinical trials for "Edema"

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).

To evaluate the safety of intravitreal ranibizumab repeated injections in patients with diabetic macular edema regarding maintenance of retinal ganglion cell function.

Stroke remains the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (second worldwide) and a leading cause of long-term disability, resulting in total direct and indirect costs of approximately $73.7 billion annually. The failure of novel therapies in clinical trials demonstrates that the complex neural response to stroke must be targeted at multiple levels to improve patient outcomes. Despite significant improvements in stroke treatment and management, 1 year survival rate among stroke patients aged 65 years or more is around 25%, and 5- year survival rate amounts to approximately 50%. The highest chances of death are within 30 days of stroke. Mortality increases due to worsening brain dysfunction, elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and other comorbid conditions. Treatments aimed at reducing post-stroke cytotoxic edema may reduce the risk for development of malignant stroke and mortality. Current treatments such as osmo-therapy and hemicraniectomy have substantial limitations, and mortality remains high, despite these measures outcomes remain unsatisfactory. There is a great need for alternative medical approaches which are safe, predictable, and help to ameliorate post stroke edema.

Diabetes has many negative effects on patients' general health. Among many other consequences it speeds up the cataract formation and that is why diabetic patients need cataract surgery very often. The known side effect of cataract surgery even in otherwise healthy patients is postoperative edema of the back of the eye (what causes decrease of vision), which has greater incidence especially in patients who have diabetic eye problems. The cause of that might be the intraocular inflammation which was previously demonstrated to be significantly more prominent in patients with untreated diabetic eye problems. Therefore we will examine if the 7 day use of anti-inflammatory eye drops prior to the cataract surgery prevent the formation of the edema of the back of the eye.

The objective of this study is to determine if twice-daily dosing of prednisolone (Pred Forte) is as effective as four-times-daily dosing of prednisolone for the prevention of retinal thickening and cystoid macular edema (CME) when either regimen is used concomitantly with twice-daily bromfenac.

Diabetic eye disease remains a major cause of visual loss for individuals with type 1 diabetes, despite currently available treatments. Preliminary studies indicate that islet cell transplantation, a new treatment for type 1 diabetes, may be beneficial for some people. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that islet cell transplantation is more effective than current medical therapy in preventing the progression of diabetic eye disease.

The primary objective is to investigate and characterize the intraocular pharmacokinetics (free and bound) following intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) in vitrectomized and non-vitrectomized eyes with diabetic macular edema The secondary objectives are to - Investigate and characterize plasma concentrations (free and bound) following injections of intravitreal aflibercept in vitrectomized and non-vitrectomized eyes with diabetic macular edema Correlate with changes in ocular concentration of drug over 12 months - change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) change in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) change in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) changes observed on Ocular coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) number of injections Evaluate ocular and systemic safety of intravitreal aflibercept Additional plasma and anterior chamber (AC) fluid cytokine analysis will be performed if sufficient samples are available

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of using the Oxulumis® microcatheterization device to administer Triesence® to the suprachoroidal space in participants with DME.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept injections administered in a treat and extend fashion in eyes that have persistent center involved diabetic macular edema following at least 4 intravitreal injections of 0.3 mg ranibizumab over 24 weeks.

COLLIDE is a multi-center, open-label, 1:1 randomized study looking at the effects of aflibercept (AFL; 2.0mg) plus OZURDEX (DEX; 0.7mg) implant combination therapy versus DEX monotherapy in phakic or pseudophakic eyes with center-involved DME that have demonstrated prior incomplete response to 3-6 anti-VEGF treatment in 3-9 months. The primary outcome will be 24 week central subfield thickness. Secondary outcomes include the change in ETDRS BCVA letters, number of re-injections and re-injection interval, proportion of eyes with 15- and 10- ETDRS letter gained/lost, proportion of eyes with PDR as per Optos color and FA at the study completion (24+/- 2 weeks) and OCT and OCT angiography biomarkers.
