Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

To determine the safety and IOP-lowering ability of a test compound in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.15% in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

To estimate the frequency of patients with ocular/periorbital adverse events. To identify any possible long-term adverse consequences of increased iris pigmentation and to follow serious adverse events throughout the study period.

To determine whether postoperative subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) increase the success rate of filtering surgery in patients at high risk for failure after standard glaucoma filtering surgery.

Post-operative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) is a common complication causing visual loss following routine cataract surgery. This complication is more prevalent in eyes with excessive inflammation as they heal from surgery. Prostaglandin analogues (PGA) are the commonest first line drugs used in the long-term treatment of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)- where they reduce the pathologically high pressure in the eye. Prostaglandins are inflammatory mediators. In the post-operative care of glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery, there is a clinical dilemma whether to stop or continue the use of prostaglandin eye drops. Clinical practice is completely dichotomized between continuing and stopping PGA treatment in the postoperative period. There is conflicting scientific literature on the effect of PGA on the incidence of CMO; and only a single randomized control trial (Miyake K, Arch Ophthalmol 1999, 117:34-40), where the post operative regime is not applicable to present practice, compared the incidence of CMO following routine cataract surgery in POAG on PGA.

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NCX 470 ophthalmic solution in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Three different concentrations of NCX 470 ophthalmic solution (0.021%, 0.042%, and 0.065%) will be compared to latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution.

To the best of Investigator knowledge, no studies to this date have compared the safety and efficacy of ologen® Collagen Matrix in Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) patients undergoing trabeculectomy. Given that filtration surgery is usually less successful in patients with developmental glaucoma; the purpose of this study is to compare combined trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy (CTT) with adjuvant ologen® Collagen Matrix versus CTT without ologen® in children with PCG. Investigator hypothesis is that CTT with ologen® Collagen Matrix would be as effective as CTT in IOP control, but with reduced scarring and long term healthier bleb morphology.

The ideal dosing for preservative-free tafluprost/timolol fixed combination remains to be elucidated. The present study compared the 24-hour intraocular pressure efficacy obtained with tafluprost/timolol given once in the evening with placebo once in the morning, versus that with the same fixed combination administered once in the morning with placebo given once in the evening in consecutive patients with open-angle glaucoma insufficiently controlled with branded, or generic latanoprost monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the intraocular pressure-lowering effect and the safety of DE-117 ophthalmic solution compared with Latanoprost ophthalmic solution in subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) on cornea in eyes with primary open glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).
