Active clinical trials for "Eye Diseases"

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of sub-tenon aflibercept in combination with either saline or hyaluronidase (HA) in patients with acute Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events from baseline to day 45. Participants will undergo clinical examinations and receive three injections of aflibercept with saline, aflibercept with hyaluronidase, or hyaluronidase.

This is a single center, randomized, single-blind, controlled pilot study of CJDHW plus JWXYS as a complementary therapy to treat dry eye disease during a 12-week period. The investigators intend to enroll 60 subjects aged between 20 and 75 years old (treatment group(N=30); controlled group(N=30)). Treatment group will be treated with artificial tears combined with TCM, while control group will use artificial tears only. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy of TCM for dry eye disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether periorbital injection of glucocorticoid is effective and necessary in the treatment of mild TAO.

The investigational drug, VRDN-001, is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (the concentration of drug in the blood over time) of VRDN-001 in healthy volunteers and in patients with TED. Study participants with TED will also be evaluated over time for changes in their signs and symptoms of TED compared to their baseline measurements.

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and sub-tenon delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Eye diseases

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 5% tavilermide ophthalmic solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BRM421 OS to vehicle for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

Tear dysfunction, also known as Dry Eye Disease (DED) is frequently encountered in the clinical practice. It is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by insufficient tear production, loss of homeostasis of the tear film, increased osmotic stress of the ocular surface, ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear heteropolysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) with unique hygroscopic, rheological, and lubricating properties. HA is naturally found at the human ocular surface where it contributes to the ocular hydration and lubrication thanks to its capability to bind water molecules.Sodium hyaluronate (SH), the salt form of HA, is widely used in artificial tears to counteract dry eye symptoms by facilitating eyelid sliding and reducing its friction on the corneal-conjunctival surface. Conventional HA-based eye drops contain linear HA. However, artificially cross-linked HA (CLHA) has several advantages over linear HA in alleviating dry eye symptoms. The increased viscoelasticity of CLHA results in a greater stability and a better resistance to the enzymatic degradation by hyaluronidase, while preserving all the properties of linear HA. Furthermore, chemical cross-linking of HA extends its permanence on the ocular surface, thus reducing the number of instillations and increasing patients' compliance. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid (CLHA)-based eyedrops" used as intended to improve lacrimal abnormalities, even when associated with dry eye symptoms. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid (CLHA)-based eyedrops" according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), one of the "CLHA-based eyedrops" products will be administered to the enrolled subject. The patient will perform 2 on-site visits: V0 and V2/EOS. To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake.

The Rexon Eye device (Resono Ophthalmic Inc, Trieste, Italy) is a new device based on QMR technology. Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) is a technique in which low-intensity, high-frequency electric currents are administered to a biological tissue through contact electrodes. The device applies stimulation to the epidermis of closed eyelids up to the lid margin by means of specially designed goggles. Previous studies have shown that it is relatively safe with high patient satisfaction. Preliminary studies have also shown it is effective for accelerating healing in chronic wounds and treating dry eye symptoms.

Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural component of the tear film, is a well-established active ingredient in artificial tears and has been reported to improve corneal and conjunctival staining in patients with DED. Thealoz Duo (Laboratoires Thea, Clermont Ferrand, France) is a novel artificial tear preparation containing two active ingredients: trehalose, a naturally occurring disaccharide with anhydrobiotic functions in many organisms, and hyaluronate, a widely distributed anionic glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide with lubricative and water-retaining properties in biological systems. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of the Hyabak and Thealoz Duo in treatment of DED.
