Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

This is an observational study in patients with POAG or OHT that will collect data on the use of Lumigan® 0.01% (bimatoprost 0.01% ophthalmic solution) in a routine clinical setting. Patients will be seen at baseline and at a follow-up visit approximately 8-12 weeks after baseline, as per normal clinical practice.

Based on these recent observations and findings in this new animal model of pigmentary glaucoma in the DBA/2J mouse, we propose that immune system abnormalities in the anterior chamber may play a possible role in the development of pigmentary glaucoma and possibly primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in humans.

The purpose of this study was to assess the pigmentation in the trabecular meshwork of patients who had been treated for at least 2 years with TRAVATAN compared with patients without exposure (or less than 1 month) to a prostaglandin analogue (PGA).

This study monitors the intraocular pressure (IOP) over 4 to 6 hours using the SENSIMED Triggerfish® device and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) in pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma patients. The aim of the study is to detect SENSIMED Triggerfish® output signal peak after induced fluctuation by physical exercise or pupil dilation.

The purpose of this study is to determine how the aqueous humor proteome changes after implantation of a Xen microstent for treatment of glaucoma.

This study will assess angle width in Chinese patients with Open-angle Glaucoma and/or Ocular Hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation of vascular parameters, including genetic factors as well as ocular blood flow parameters against the progression rate of glaucomatous damage in patients with progressive OAG.

The purpose of this study was to monitor iris pigmentation changes over a 5-year period in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. To be eligible for the study, these individuals must have experienced an iris pigmentation change while previously dosing with TRAVATAN.

WHAT IS THIS STUDY ABOUT? Glaucoma and ocular hypertension are chronic eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss or blindness. The optic nerve acts like an electric cable with over a million wires. This nerve is responsible for carrying images from the eye to the brain. The way glaucoma and ocular hypertension cause blindness depends on many factors, but the most important factor is the increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). There is no cure for glaucoma or ocular hypertension. However, lowering the pressure inside the eye has been shown to slow the progression of disease. Intraocular pressure can be lowered by glaucoma medication, laser treatment, or surgery. You have open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, or ocular hypertension. Researchers want to find out more about how 2 drugs called Cosopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride and timolol maleate) and Xalatan (latanoprost) can help people with these conditions. Cosopt and Xalatan are both eye drops that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce intraocular pressure in people with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The study doctor will do a laser procedure called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) on people in this study to help lower their intraocular pressure. The FDA has approved SLT to treat open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Then the study doctor will ask some participants to use either Cosopt or Xalatan, if their intraocular pressure is still too high 4 to 6 weeks after the SLT procedure. The study doctor wants to see which of the 2 study drugs (Cosopt or Xalatan) is better at reducing intraocular pressure after SLT. It is planned that about 30 people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are at least 18 years old will be in this study. Out of the participants whose intraocular pressure is still too high after SLT, half will use Cosopt and half will use Xalatan. You do not have to be in this study to have SLT or to use Cosopt or Xalatan.

The present study attempts to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of a flavonoid, the epigallocatechingallate, on retinal ganglion cell function, evaluated by pattern electroretinogram, in subjects with ocular hypertension or early glaucoma.
