Active clinical trials for "Macular Edema"

This study is conducted to evaluate the safety of a single intravitreal injection of THR-687.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered at 8-week intervals or as specified in the protocol following treatment initiation, compared with aflibercept once every 8 weeks (Q8W), in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME).

This is a phase 4 prospective, nonrandomized, open label, interventional clinical trial. Study eyes will receive 5 required initial monthly Intravitreal Aflibercept (IAI) doses of 2 mg followed by 2q8 IAI for a total of 52 weeks; only one study eye from each patient will be enrolled.

Despite improved glycemic and systemic control for many patients with diabetes, over the past several decades, diabetic retinopathy (DR) develops and progresses in a large proportion of patients, and visual loss from diabetic eye complications continues to be a leading cause of blindness in the US and other developed countries worldwide. Thus, even a modest ability to prevent DR onset or to slow DR worsening might substantially reduce the number of patients at risk for diabetes-related vision loss worldwide. Widespread use of an oral agent effective at reducing worsening of DR might also decrease the numbers of patients who undergo treatment for DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) and who are consequently at risk for side effects that adversely affect visual function. Two major studies of fenofibrate, the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) and The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD)-eye study, have demonstrated clinically important reduction in progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes assigned to fibrate compared with placebo. However, despite the positive clinical trial results, fenofibrate has not gained wide acceptance as a preventive agent by either ophthalmologists or primary diabetes care providers. Thus, it is important to provide further evidence demonstrating whether or not selectively increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) activity reduces progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy at baseline. Pemafibrate is a more potent and selective PPARα modulator than fenofibrate. Its efficacy is currently being evaluated in the Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular OutcoMes by Reducing Triglycerides IN patiENts With diabeTes (PROMINENT) study for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the large study cohort with a substantial proportion likely to have DR and the multi-year duration of the PROMINENT trial, this study represents a unique opportunity to assess effects of chronic PPARα activation through pemafibrate therapy on DR outcomes. Primary Study Objective: To assess whether treatment with pemafibrate (0.2 mg orally BID) compared with placebo reduces the hazard rate of diabetic retinopathy worsening in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy without neovascularization in at least one eye who are participating in the parent PROMINENT trial.

This clinical trial is the first-in-human study of CU06-1004. The purpose of this phase 1 study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending oral doses of CU06-1004 in healthy adult subjects.

This is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, 48-week study to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of RC28-E injection in the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema.

This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, active comparator-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection at 4-week intervals until Week 24, followed by a double-masked period of study without active control to evaluate faricimab administered according to a personalized treatment interval (PTI) dosing regimen in participants with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

A study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single intravitreal injection of UBX1325 in patients diagnosed with diabetic macular edema (DME) or neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

This first in human (FIH), Phase Ib/II study of EXN407 is a randomised, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, multiple dose, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of EXN407 in subjects with centre involved Diabetic Macular Oedema (DMO), with Centre-subfield macular thickness (CMT) between 280-420 µm and Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) better than or equal to 69 ETDRS score (approximate Snellen equivalent 20/40 (6/12 letters) in the study eye, which is considered secondary to diabetes mellitus. This study will provide a basis for further clinical development of EXN407 ophthalmic solution.

DMO is the most common cause of visual loss in people with diabetes. Regular injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) given as frequently as every month remain the current standard of care for centre-involving DMO; however, this regimen is impractical for many Aboriginal patients. Using Ozurdex implants every 3-6 months could be as effective as the currently used Avastin injections. In order to address this real-world problem, this study seeks to investigate whether it is possible to safely use a long-acting steroid preparation such as the dexamethasone IVT implant (Ozurdex) to manage DMO in Aboriginal patients living in Western Australia.
