Active clinical trials for "Iridocyclitis"

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that difluprednate 0.05% (Durezol) dosed 4 times daily is noninferior to prednisolone 1% (Pred Forte) dosed 8 times daily for the treatment of endogenous anterior uveitis.

The purpose of this phase 3 confirmatory study is to determine if difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion is effective in the treatment of treatment of uveitis.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX211 as therapy in subjects with active non-infectious anterior uveitis

Objective of this study is to investigate the intracameral level of ganciclovir following topical application of 0.15% ganciclovir gel (VIRGAN©) for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis and endothelitis. Thirty patients who are diagnosed with CMV anterior segment infection, either uveitis or endothelitis, who have a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and/or positive tetraplex PCR for CMV and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month, will be recruited in the study after taking an informed consent. with active CMV anterior segment infection confirmed by a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month were recruited in the study. Patients were given 0.15% ganciclovir gel 1cc 5 times a day for 6 weeks. Following 6 weeks of treatment, tears and aqueous samples will be collected. Aqueous will be sent for RT-PCR for CMV status. Ganciclovir drug level in both tears and aqueous will be measured by HPLC method. Clinically, degree of the intraocular inflammation, Intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) will be recorded at baseline and post-treatment.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).

The Chinese Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (CESPIC) was started 2000 as a prospective, longitudinal, multicentre, nationwide study in China on patients with early SpA including ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) and non-radiographic axial SpA. The objectives of CESPIC are to learn about the course of SpA during the very early stage of the disease, to appropriately assess the outcome including radiographic progression of patients after several years of follow-up, to identify outcome predictors, to assess quality of life, function, and costs (direct and indirect costs). CESPIC has been recently expanded to recruit patients with other forms of SpA / conditions associated with SpA: reactive arthritis, acute anterior uveitis, Crohn's disease as well as with psoriasis / axial psoriatic arthritis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a medical device (ActiPatch) that emits a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) will benefit patients with anterior uveitis. Anterior uveitis (aka iritis) is an inflammatory disease involving the front segment of the eye. This is a common cause of a painful red eye, and ActiPatch has been shown to be effective in treating tissue inflammation. The conventional treatment of iritis typically involves frequent administration of topical steroids which have their own inherent risks (development of cataracts and/or glaucoma). The purpose of this study is to determine if ActiPatch therapy can be used to shorten the length of time and/or quantity of steroids administered.

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an established technology which enables a detailed cross-sectional visualization of the retinal micro-anatomy, and an objective measurement of its thickness in-vivo. Multifocal electroretinogram (MfERG) measures function of the central retina. Both technologies are relatively new and they provide complimentary to each other information on retinal anatomy and function. The aims of this study is to establish normal ranges for OCT and mfERG measurements related to age, gender and reproductive factors such as parity and the use of contraception in Norwegians; to assess the presumably healthy central retina with the use of anti-inflammatory medication with relation to age and sex ; to study the frequency and extent of retinal thickening and change in retinal function in patients with anterior uveitis not complicated with macular edema; to assess whether the presence of the HLA-B27 haplotype or uveitis recidive affects macular thickening/function in uveitis.

This a prospective study review of the clinical efficacy of DEXTENZA for the treatment of anterior uveitis compared to the standard of care topical corticosteroid treatment

Uveitis accounts for 15% of the causes of legal blindness. The etiological diagnosis of uveitis is difficult because of the poor bacteriological performance of aqueous or vitreous fluid analysis. At the end of a medical and paramedical check-up, oriented by the typology of uveitis, a clinical situation is frequently encountered: idiopathic uveitis with a Quantiferon test (QFN) positive orienting to an old or recent contact with tuberculosis. Ocular tuberculosis is often characterized by a partial and transient response to corticosteroid therapy (local or general), due to predominant hypersensitivity phenomena and low inoculum. Therefore, antitubercular treatment is recommended for idiopathic posterior uveitis with positive QFN. This treatment of 6-9 months has shown, in combination with systemic corticosteroids, its effectiveness on ocular inflammation and significant decrease in recurrence frequency. For previous uveitis with QFN positive, there is no study or recommendation in the low endemic countries on the indication of anti-tuberculosis drugs and practices are variable. Tuberculous anterior uveitis is distinguished by high rate of relapses and chronic uveitis upon discontinuation of topic corticosteroid therapy that exposes to broad posterior synechiae leading to an ocular functional impairment. Optimizing the management of recurrent anterior uveitis is therefore crucial. The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled, open, two parallel arm trial is to compared antitubercular treatment "add-on "of local corticosteroid therapy to Local Corticosteroid Therapy Only in patients with recurrent or chronic anterior uveitis. Primary outcome is the treatment succes defined as uveitis recovery at 3 months and the absence of recurrence at 18 months of follow-up.
