Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

The clinical trial is aimed to evaluate the anti-neovascular effect of KDR2-2 suspension eyedrop in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma. Fourty subjects would receive either 0.96 or 3.84 mg/per day/eye, in a QID fashion, ×7 days (those without complications can continue to 28 days). The anti-neovascular effect of KDR2-2 on iris neovascularization would be evaluated at day 1, day 7, day 14, day 28 after KDR2-2 usage.

Glaucoma is a complex disease that can result in progressive vision loss. There are no treatments that restore vision lost to glaucoma. However, recent studies have shown that vision can be improved by non-invasive brain (NIBS) stimulation and visual training. In this study, we aim to compare and find out the optimal non-invasive brain stimulation model (transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)) for improving peripheral vision in glaucoma patients. The proposed treatment is the application of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) onto the participant's head, with brain stimulation aimed at the Primary Visual Cortex toward the occipital pole. The investigators hypothesize that the tES will enable higher performance in the reading task and secondary measures due to an increase in the cortical excitability of the stimulated brain cells, and tRNS will generate the greatest acute improvement in peripheral vision than either a-tDCS, tACS, or sham stimulation.

The goal of this study is to understand if SLT performed at low energy is as effective as SLT performed at standard energy, and also to see if repeating SLT at low energy once a year will prevent or delay the need for daily eye drop medications better than waiting for SLT to wear off before repeating it.

It is a phase III, multi-center, randomized, single-blind (to evaluator), parallel, and positive-controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of OPC-1085EL in the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in Chinese subjects. It is planned that 240 subjects (120 in each group) will be randomly assigned to receive OPC-1085EL or 0.005% latanoprost ophthalmic solution (latanoprost) at a ratio of 1:1.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of methazolamide, 25 mg or 50 mg tablets once a day for a week than twice a day for a week, on lowering intraocular pressure and the safety of methazolamide.

To investigate whether the IOP lowering efficacy of STN1012600 ophthalmic solution 0.002% is non-inferior to that of latanoprost 0.005% in subjects with POAG or OHT after treatment for 4 weeks.

To assess efficacy, and safety of a single sustained release dose of the OTX-TIC drug product (2 travoprost dose strengths) in subjects with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT)

A prospective, multicentre, randomized, blinded, masked study that involves the enrollment of 60 patients affected by open angle glaucoma (OAG). Patients selected according to the inclusion / exclusion criteria, after signing the informed consent, will be randomized into two groups: In a group of patients with OAG, Citicoline in oral solution (10 ml / day, Neurotidine®) will be administered for 12 months (Citicoline Treated Group, TC Group) in another group of patients with OAG will be administered Placebo (Containing all excipients of Neurotidine ®) (10 ml / day) for 12 months (Placebo Treated Group, TP Group) Randomization will be done by dividing the selected patients into two groups based on similar characteristics of: age, perimetric defect and, mainly, retinal-cortical time (RCT) values. Patients will be assigned to each group by an investigator not involved in functional and structural testing. The key will be opened only at the end of the treatment in order to evaluate the first effects. The Primary Objective was to evaluate whether treatment with Citicoline in oral solution can produce an improvement of the post-retinal neural conduction, that is delayed in patients with OAG. The Secondary objective was to evaluate in patients with OAG whether the possible changes in post-retinal neural conduction induced by treatment with Citicoline in oral solution (information obtained through electrophysiological recordings) are associated or not with morphological and functional variations of the nervous structures forming the visual pathways (nucleus geniculatus lateral, optic tract, visual cortex, information obtained through the acquisition of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging) and whether both conditions can be related to the morpho-functional variations of the retinal ganglion cells and of the visual field (VF).

The purpose of this study is to assess whether deep sclerectomy is as effective in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) as trabeculectomy in patients with normal tension glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a chronic and progressive optic neuropathy characterized by degeneration of ganglion cells and axons with loss of visual function. It is estimated that glaucoma, which is the second cause of preventable blindness in the world, affects nearly 60 million people worldwide. The most common type of glaucoma is primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). POAG is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy with characteristic morphological changes in the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber. POAG, progressive retinal ganglion cell death and visual field loss are associated with these changes. Risk factors for POAG are age, race, high intraocular pressure (IOP), family history of glaucoma, thin central corneal thickness (CCT), high myopia. IOP is the only modifiable risk factor that we can control. For this reason, the priority in the treatment of POAG has always been to reduce IOP. In glaucoma, the essential point is to preserve the damaged ganglion cell layer and therefore the visual functions. In addition to clinical examination, visual field measurements that measure functions, optical coherence tomography (OCT) thickness measurements that measure anatomical changes, and optic nerve head parameters are the most reliable methods for both diagnosis and evaluation of the efficacy of treatment. Following the results of the visual field and OCT measurements, it will be tried to determine to what extent glaucoma damage can be ceased by the developed GlaucoT glaucoma treatment glasses. In this study, it is aimed to measure the effectiveness and safety of flicker light therapy, the effectiveness of which has been investigated in the treatment of Alzheimer's previously and has clinically significant results, with the GlaucoT glaucoma treatment glasses, which was developed to cease visual field loss with patient comfort at the forefront and at a lower cost.
