Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implanting a new version of an interposition supraciliary implant (SV22) as a stand-alone therapy for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open and narrow angle glaucoma who have failed at least one class of topical medical therapy

HIT GLAUCOMA is a multicenter exercise study for glaucoma patients between three institutes: the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health (DSBG) of the University of Basel, the Eye Clinic at the University Hospital Basel and the UZ Leuven (Belgium). The main objective of the study is to investigate the possibility of using exercise therapy to treat glaucoma. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: Intervention and Control group. The intervention group will receive a high-intensity interval training plan, and the control group will receive lifestyle counseling and standard therapy. With this method, the study aims to validate an exercise therapy concept that could significantly improve disease progression and quality of life in patients with glaucoma.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glaucoma device in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of repeated low-level red-light therapy on existing visual field damages in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

To assure the quality of follow-up and treatment, data of glaucoma patients are stored and evaluated after anonymisation.

Visco-Circumferential-Suture-Trabeculotomy versus Rigid probe Viscotrabeculotomy in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic eye disease in which the only validated treatment is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). It is the 2nd leading cause of blindness worldwide. The iStent® inject and inject W is an implantable device that is part of a new entity of so-called minimally invasive glaucoma surgery whose goal is to lower IOP with minimal tissue disruption in order to avoid the complications of conventional glaucoma surgery. This surgery is used in conjunction with cataract surgery in France. The primary objective is to study the 1-year efficacy and safety of combined cataract and iStent inject and inject W in the management of POAG in an observational, retrospective, controlled study of a cohort of POAG patients undergoing cataract surgery only.

Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy whose main modifiable risk factor is an abnormally elevated intraocular pressure. The aim of glaucoma treatment is to slow the progression of the disease by reducing intraocular pressure. Prostaglandin derivatives are the most effective topical drugs in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Among these, latanoprost was the first agent of this type to be approved for use in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. These eye drops are available with and without preservatives. There are two commercial brands in our environment, Xalatan®, which contains 0.005% latanoprost and 0.2 mg/ml benzalkonium chloride (BAK) and Monoprost®, which contains the same amount of latanoprost but does not carry a preservative. The prostaglandin analog with a lower concentration of active ingredient available in Spain without preservative is tafluprost 0.0015%, commercially available under the name Saflutan®. The long-term use of hypotensive eye drops with preservatives generates changes in the ocular surface, such as instability of the tear film, conjunctival inflammation, subconjunctival fibrosis, apoptosis of the conjunctival epithelium and deterioration of the corneal surface, causing symptoms such as stinging, tearing, sensation foreign body, photophobia and blurred vision. This research will evaluate the changes in the ocular surface and in the expression of inflammatory molecules that occur in the conjunctiva in patients with a diagnosis of glaucoma and ocular hypertension who are under ocular hypotensive treatment with tafluprost, comparing it with the two commercial preparations of latanoprost. These three groups of patients will have a control group of patients with a diagnosis of ocular hypertension who will not have any topical hypotensive medication.

Study to collect effectiveness and safety data after administration of a bimatoprost intracameral implant in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

The study will assess the long-term (up to 5 years) safety and performance in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by topical hypotensive medications who had previously been implanted with a MINIject glaucoma implant.
