Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. Ginkgo biloba may be part of an effective treatment strategy for glaucoma because it has been shown to improve blood flow, it has antioxidant properties, it can relax smooth muscle, and it can protect neurons from damage. The goal of our study was to determine whether Ginkgo biloba would result in increased ocular blood flow which may protect against glaucoma damage.

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of topical prostaglandin analog (PGA) medication on corneal biomechanical properties in patients undergoing PGA treatment for open-angle glaucoma.

The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of T2347 (Latanoprost 0.005% + Timolol 0.5% unpreserved eye drops) versus Xalacom® in ocular hypertensive or glaucomatous patients initially treated, stabilised by Xalacom® or generics (fixed combination Latanoprost 0.005% + Timolol 0.5% preserved eye drops).

Glaucoma is an eye disease that results in damage to the optic nerve that progresses over time. One of the main risk factors in glaucoma is an increase in intraocular pressure, caused by a build-up of fluid in the eye. Glaucoma can result in blindness if left untreated and as such it is extremely important to diagnose and treat the condition. Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a laser treatment that facilitates the outflow of fluid from inside the eye. This has the potential of reducing the intraocular pressure within the eye (the main way in which this disease is treated since there is no cure) and may assist in helping to control the progression of this disease. SLT (standard treatment) is a technique routinely carried out by glaucoma specialists. It is conducted using a special type of lens (goniolens) that gently sits on the front surface of the eye. The procedure takes approximately 5 minutes in duration. This new treatment, Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) is performed directly, without there being any need to use a goniolens which sits on the eye, and it is a shorter and simpler technique to conduct when compared to the standard SLT technique. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that the treatment by new automated device for DSLT is not worse in comparison with the standard SLT and determine that it is effective in reducing intraocular pressure.

The study evaluated the safety and IOP-lowering effects of WB007 in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in both eyes. This was a 2-part study. Part 1 was a 3-period dose escalation that evaluated 3 concentrations of WB007 ophthalmic solution following a single dose in one eye. Part 2 was a randomized, double-masked, parallel comparison that evaluated two concentrations of WB007 (selected based on Part 1 results) in both eyes compared with timolol 0.5% for 14 days.

This study will evaluate the 24-hour intraocular pressure lowering effect and safety after a single administration of Bimatoprost SR in patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution (eye drops) administered for 7 days in adults. The study is a double-masked, multiple- ascending dose trial and will enroll four cohorts of up to 12 subjects. Dose cohorts will receive increasing doses of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution or vehicle-matched placebo daily for 7 days. Cohort 5 will enroll subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who will continue current prostaglandin therapy during the study. Cohort 5 subjects will receive the maximum tolerated dose from the previous cohorts.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of two iStent inject devices in combination with cataract surgery in patients with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma.

This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of a new formulation of latanoprost without Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK-free). Patients with open-angle glaucoma who were using BAK-containing latanoprost ophthalmic solution for ≥6 months, switched to BAK-free latanoprost ophthalmic emulsion.

The objectives of this study are: To evaluate the efficacy of Phentolamine Mesylate to lower intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in the treatment of Open-Angle Glaucoma (OAG) and Ocular Hypertension (OHT). To evaluate the ocular and systemic safety of Phentolamine Mesylate compared to its vehicle. To evaluate additional efficacy of Phentolamine Mesylate to improve visual performance.
