Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and Intraocular pressure lowering effectiveness of the Streamline™ Surgical System.

A prospective, nonrandomized, open label study to evaluate the safety and IOP lowering effectiveness of the Streamline Surgical System, in patients with mild-to-moderate open angle glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery.

To compare the efficacy and safety of Perrigo's product to an FDA approved product in the treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension in Both Eyes.

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NCX 470 Ophthalmic Solution in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. In the adaptive dose selection phase of the trial, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of two doses of NCX 470 (0.065% or 0.1%) or to latanoprost 0.005%. Following the selection of one dose of NCX 470, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the chosen dose of NCX 470 or to latanoprost 0.005%.

To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single sustained release dose of OTX-TIC, a sustained release travoprost drug product, in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

This is a phase 2, double masked, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group, 28-day study assessing the safety, tolerability and ocular hypotensive efficacy of AKB-9778 Ophthalmic Solution 4.0% administered once (AM) or twice (AM & PM) daily when used as an adjunctive therapy to latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% once daily (PM) in subjects with elevated IOP due to OAG or OHT.

This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and Ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) as a first-line surgical treatment of coexisting cataract and op /en angle glaucoma compared to phacoemulsification alone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of results of combined Phaco-UCP

European Nutrition in Glaucoma Management (ENIGMA) trial will evaluate the effect of 18-month supplementation with lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin on macular pigment (MP) levels, vision, cognition and serum biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in glaucoma patients. This study comprises a randomised, placebo controlled and double masked clinical trial designed to establish MP response to supplementation with lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin over an 18-month period. The study will also investigate the relationship between macular pigment, cognitive function, oxidative stress and inflammation, and determine the impact of dietary supplementation on vision, retinal structure, quality of life and cognitive function among glaucoma subjects.

To explore a quantitative glaucoma evaluation tool of glaucoma through the dynamic evaluation of reading ability based on logarithmic Chinese reading acuity chart (C-READ), and investigate its feasibility.

Studies have shown that ocular surface disease (OSD) is common among patients with glaucoma with a prevalence of 50% or more. The percentage of affected patients appears to increase with increasing number of topical anti-glaucoma products instilled. Both pre-clinical and clinical work has indicated that the preservatives used in anti-glaucoma drops, particularly benzalkonium chloride, are mainly responsible for this detrimental effect. As such more and more anti-glaucoma drugs without preservatives entered the market. To prove that switching from preserved to unpreserved antiglaucoma medication improves the signs and symptom of OSD is, however, not easy. This is on the one hand related to the physiological variability of these parameters over time and on the other hand to the poor association between signs and symptoms. Recently, a new method for measuring tear film thickness (TFT) using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been introduced. Using this method, it has been shown that there is a correlation between reduced TFT and OSD symptoms. In the present study, it is hypothesized that changing patients who are on preserved prostaglandin formulations to preservative free tafluprost may be associated with an increase in TFT.
