Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

This study will characterize the effect of PF-04217329, alone and in combination with latanoprost, on circadian intraocular pressure and blood pressure in glaucoma patients. Blood samples will be collected to measure the amount of active metabolite of PF-04217329 in the plasma following dosing.

This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and dose-response of AGN-210669. This study will also compare AGN-210669 with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution (LUMIGAN®).

This was a prospective, double-masked, 15-month clinical trial comparing efficacy of phacoemulsification alone to combined phacoemulsification and implantation of the iStent® trabecular micro-bypass stent in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of artificial tears preserved with Benzalkonium Chloride (AT-BAK) on the IOP response to the L-PPDS and to evaluate the safety of the L-PPDS in subjects with OH or OAG following treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a glaucoma therapy is safe and effective in treating patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Low-pressure (normal tension) glaucoma is a type of open-angle glaucoma resulting in damage to the optic nerve and abnormalities of the visual field. Eye (intraocular) pressure in this type of glaucoma is not higher than that usually considered to be normal (less than 21 mmHg) for the eye. The present treatment of low-pressure glaucoma is also directed to lowering the "normal" eye pressure. Both medications in this study, brimonidine and timolol, lower eye pressure. Laboratory research over the past decade indicates the potential to treat glaucoma not only by lowering eye pressure, but with treatments aimed at the damage occurring at the optic nerve. One group of drugs, selective alpha2-adrenergic agonists, have been shown in laboratory animals to protect against the effects of nerve damage following local stroke. Brimonidine, one of the medications in the current study, is a selective alpha2-adrenergic agonist which protects against damage to optic nerve in animal models of glaucoma.. The hypothesis of the present study is that brimonidine eye drops provide protection to the damaged optic nerve independent of lowering eye pressure in patients with low-pressure glaucoma. This will be determined by (1) measuring eye pressure, (2) performing visual field examinations, and (3) examination of the optic nerve.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iStent trabecular micro-bypass stent in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and co-existing cataract.

A number of common eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma are associated with ocular perfusion abnormalities. Although this is well recognized there is not much possibility to improve blood flow to the posterior pole of the eye in these diseases. For many years, moxaverine has been used in the therapy of perfusion abnormalities in the brain, the heart and the extremities. This is based on a direct vasodilatatory effect of the drug, but also on the rheological properties of red blood cells. In a recent study the investigators have shown that intravenous moxaverine increases choroidal blood flow in healthy young subjects. The present study aims to investigate, whether moxaverine also improves blood flow in the diseased eye after systemic administration.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and IOP-lowering efficacy of a fixed combination of Travoprost/Brinzolamide Ophthalmuc Suspension dosed BID and QD, to TRAVATAN dosed QD and a Vehicle dosed BID in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

To compare the safety and effectiveness between ologen collagen matrix and mitomycin-C (MMC) in glaucoma surgery. The ologen collagen matrix implantation procedure is same as traditional trabeculectomy except implant the ologen collagen matrix on the top of sclera flap after one loose stich the sclera flap. The MMC application is as the standard.
