Active clinical trials for "Eye Diseases"

Hypothesis: Fluorometholone (FML) 0.1% eyedrops topically applied 4 times a day for 22 days is more efficient than artificial tears (Liquifilm) in dry eye disease (DED) and ameliorates the worsening of the disease after exposure to an adverse controlled environment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral valproic acid to slow the progression of visual function and/or to improve the visual function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Enrolled subjects in valproic acid group will be treated with oral valproic acid 500mg daily for 48 weeks. Visual function and safety will be assess before and after treatment (48 weeks) between valproic acid and control groups.

The objective of this dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AMA0076 in reduction of intraocular pressure in subjects with ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and establish the effectiveness of two doses from the IRay System for the treatment of wet AMD.

Efficacy study of ecabet ophthalmic solution in dry eye disease

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of diquafosol tetrasodium ophthalmic solution, 2% vs. placebo, in subjects with dry eye disease.

This study is being done to investigate the effects (good and bad) of Rituximab for the treatment of an autoimmune eye disease called Graves' ophthalmopathy. This disease has proven to be difficult to treat. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that depletes a line of cells involved in the autoimmune response. The study hypotheses is that rituximab is effective in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe active Graves' ophthalmopathy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Next Generation Ophthalmic Irrigating Solution (NGOIS) compared to BSS PLUS for use during surgery for removal of epimacular membrane and vitrectomy.

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the effects of 20 Gy of external-beam radiotherapy to 1 orbit vs. the untreated orbit at 3 and 6 months after therapy in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. II. Evaluate whether 20 Gy of external-beam radiotherapy delivered to the second orbit 6 months later in the course of the disease produces effects of equal magnitude to those observed when the first orbit was treated. III. Relate the magnitude of treatment effects to the time since onset of eye symptoms. IV. Evaluate whether characteristics of radiation retinopathy are present 3 years after orbital radiotherapy.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OC-01 Nasal Spray as compared to placebo on signs and symptoms of dry eye disease
