Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

This study aims to investigate a potential link between Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG); initially by determining whether the prevalence of OSA is higher in patients with OAG in comparison to people without glaucoma and if OSA is an independent risk factor for OAG. It will comprehensively phenotype glaucoma patients for variables that may be associated with both OSA and OAG.

This is a retrospective chart review and will assess changes in IOP after treatment with any fixed combination in patients who previously received monotherapy.

This is an observational study of Lumigan® 0.01% (bimatoprost) treatment in clinical practice for patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT).

The purpose of this research study is to hypothesize that Simbrinza will achieve a decrease in intraocular pressure and increase in ocular perfusion pressure throughout the diurnal and nocturnal periods. The primary aim of this study will be to determine the effects of Simbrinza at multiple intervals throughout a 24-hour period. The secondary aim will be to compare these to those of timolol.

The aim of this prospective randomized study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy with ologen Collagen Matrix versus trabeculectomy using mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study was to measure the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in eyes of Obstructive Sleep Apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) using optical coherence tomography (OCT), and assess whether it is decreased. The investigators then compared the results with healthy subjects database of RNFL thickness from another retrospective study.

The purpose of this study is to perform exploratory analyses to evaluate rates of functional and structural change in glaucoma, to identify predictors of rapid progression in patients with glaucoma and to identify possible genetic factors and biomarkers associated with the disease.

The objective of this Investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with Xalacom in medical practice. Also, occurrence of unknown and known adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in subjects treated with Xalacom will be monitored during the survey period, and whether an additional treatment outcome investigation and/or a post-marketing clinical study is required in the future will be determined.

A one-year, randomized, attention placebo-controlled trial investigating the value of comprehensive adherence specific interventions, over the course of one year, to enhance adherence in both (a) newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma, or ocular hypertension patients, naive to medical therapy and (b) those who have failed monotherapy with any prostaglandin analogue (and are therefore candidates for adjunctive therapy) who then are randomized to receive only travoprost monotherapy. Subjects will be randomized to two different interventions involving direct physician education, each of which will take approximately the same amount of physician time: The first will be intensive adherence education that will continue throughout the year. The second will be intensive eye care education, but without any direct adherence education. All patients participating in the study will be monitored for adherence by the TDA. The study will demonstrate for the first time the role of adherence-specific training in improving patient adherence and will validate the TDA in monitoring and improving adherence in glaucoma. This will correlate with prior work that has documented that greater adherence is associated with marked improvement in intraocular pressure (IOP) control. A second goal will be seeing whether improving adherence will change the course of glaucoma therapy by making therapeutic failures into therapeutic successes by reducing the need for adjunctive therapy using only monotherapy with travoprost.

This study is to evaluate the long-term safety, effectiveness and clinical experience of the CyPass Micro-Stent in patients with glaucoma.
