Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

Basic Study Design: Prospective, randomized, single-center, single-blinded study to compare dysphotopsias and pain recollection immediately 2 weeks, and 3 months after LPI in PACS patients who have a clear indication for bilateral LPI. Our null hypothesis is that there is no difference in dysphotopsia or pain levels by LPI position. Our alternate hypothesis is that there are more dysphotopsias superiorly and more pain temporally.

To compare the effectiveness of lens extraction combined with goniosynechialysis and trabeculectomy in treating advanced angle-closure glaucoma.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of an iStent trabecular microbypass stent compared to selective laser trabeculoplasty in combination with cataract surgery in eyes with exfoliation glaucoma (EXF)

Open-angle glaucoma is a degeneration of the optic nerve, highlighted by campimetric alterations, and wose only current therapeutic target is the lowering of the intra-ocular pressure (using eye drops, surgery or laser). MEMOPTIC is a tablet combining citicoline, magnesium and Gingko biloba, which have a neuroprotective effect already used in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease for example. Citicoline has also shown several promising results in ophthalmological diseases (glaucoma, amblyopia or more recently in ischemic optic neuropathies). The citicoline used in eye drops (NEURODROP) has already shown results on the preservation of the vision of glaucomatous patients. The purpose of this project is to determine if MEMOPTIC can have an effect, in addition to the conventional treatments, in the preservation of vision of patients treated for an open-angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Metformin could prevent the progression of glaucoma in a safe and effective manner.

In this research study, we will assess the safety, tolerability, comfort, and feasibility of lowering intraocular pressure using a novel Contact Lens Drug Delivery System with latanoprost. Latanoprost is a well-studied medication and has been used to treat glaucoma for decades. Currently, latanoprost is FDA-approved to be administered to patients as eye drops, but using eye drops has challenges (having to remember to take the drop, getting the drop in the eye). This clinical trial is being done to determine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of using latanoprost to deliver latanoprost in a new way (through a drug-eluting contact lens). The study includes two phases. Phase A is intended to assess safety and tolerability and Phase B to assess safety and effectiveness.

To determine the safety and efficacy over 24 months of dual NT-501 CNTF encapsulated cell therapy (ECT) on visual impairment related to glaucoma.

To compare the safety and efficacy of Baerveldt 350 and Ahmed ClearPath 250 tube shunts in lowering IOP in glaucoma patients.

This is a pilot study, which will include approximately five eyes of 5 patients. This study proposes that a sustained release steroid insert (Yutiq)1 be implanted along with a glaucoma drainage device (Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) Model FP7) when the patient is undergoing glaucoma tube implant surgery or combined glaucoma tube implant and cataract surgery. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy (controlling intraocular pressure) of the Yutiq inserts to reduce post-operative scarring in surgical glaucoma patients. It is expected that post-operative week 12 onwards there will be a clinically and statistically significant lower IOP in the study eyes than eyes in a group undergoing the same surgery without the Yutiq insert. The estimated duration of the present study is 3 years.

Phase IV randomized, double blind, multicenter, parallel group clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of the combined use of Krytantek Ofteno PF® and Gaap Ofteno PF®, both applied every 12 hours, versus the use of Eliptic Ofteno PF® Plus Gaap Ofteno PF®, both applied every 12 hours, in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension during 90 days
