Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

The objective of this prospective randomised study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ologen CM (Collagen matrix) and Mitomycin-C (MMC) as adjuncts to filtration surgery in uncontrolled treated glaucoma cases, the efficacy being the primary objective and the safety being the secondary.

The purpose of this multi-center, open label, single arm, post-marketing surveillance study is to assess the safety of Travacom in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to beta-blockers, prostaglandins, or other intraocular pressure-lowering (IOP) medication and when use of Travacom is considered appropriate.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Anecortave Acetate is effective for lowering intraocular pressure caused by open-angle glaucoma.

Neovascular glaucoma is a potentially debilitating disease of the eye. Vascular eye disease such as diabetes and vein occlusions can cause the retina to release factors that promote the growth of abnormal blood vessels. These abnormal vessels can grow in the drainage mechanism of the eye causing pressure in the eye to markedly increase. This can potentially cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve from glaucoma leading to permanent blindness and painful eyes. Conventional treatments including laser and freezing therapy take weeks to cause regression in abnormal blood vessel growth. This delay often results in permanent vision loss and pain. New medications targeted at more immediately reducing blood vessel growth may aid in the treatment of this disease.

Determine efficacy of sub tenon kenalog injections for post-operative management of trabeculectomy procedures.

The aim of this study was to verify whether prostaglandin analogue (PA) eye drops influence the retinal thickness of glaucomatous patients undergoing trabeculectomy (TRAB) surgery. We selected eyes of patients with glaucoma with surgical indication for TRAB who were using PA eye drops and without previous retinal alterations, from the Centro de Referência em Oftalmologia (CEROF) from the Federal University of Goiás and Fundação Banco de Olhos de Goiás (FUBOG). Patients were divided into 2 groups: the study group (SG) and the control group (CG). In the CG, the PA was suspended between 30 and 60 days before the preoperative exams were performed (maximum of 15 days before surgery for both groups). All patients included were submitted to various eye exams before the procedure, and postoperatively on 3 occasions: 1 to 3 days ("PO1"), 6 to 9 days ("PO7") and 27 to 30 days ("PO30") after surgery.

The general purpose of the study is to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of PEA 600 mg supplementation on RGCs function in subjects with glaucoma by pattern electroretinogram after three months of therapy. Secondary objectives are to assess effects on intraocular pressure (IOP) values, if any; to record visual acuity, visual field, central corneal thickness (CCT), and Optical coherence tomography (OCT) (ganglion cell complex - GCC) changes, if any and to follow quality of life (QL) perception (general vision -GV and general health - GH of national eye instutute visual functioning questionnaire 25 items - NEI VFQ25)

The AGLT is a prospective, multicenter, randomized study in which adult black Africans with treatment-naive open-angle glaucoma are assigned to therapy with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), medications provided at no cost (MED), or medications provided by prescription for subjects to obtain at their own expense as per usual care (RX). The overall goal of the AGLT is to determine the best treatment strategy for newly-diagnosed open-angle glaucoma in Africa.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the EYEMATE system in patients undergoing concomitant implantation of a BKPro type 1 and an EYEMATE sensor over the 24 months period beginning at implantation.

This study is a double-masked, randomized, parallel group study in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The aim of this study is to verify the efficacy of the fixed combination of Latanoprost 50 mcg / mL / brinzolamide 10mg/ml eye drops compared to Latanoprost 50μg/mL eye drops in reducing IOP
