Active clinical trials for "Macular Edema"

Background Retinal vascular disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion are significant causes of vision impairment and blindness worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common retinal vascular disorder and is the leading cause of vision loss among patients aged 25 to 74 years. Aim to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone versus suprachoroidal triamcinolone in the management of diabetic macular edema.

This is a Phase IV, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, 2-arm, multicenter study. The primary objective was assessed by the difference in the mean number of ranibizumab injections applied up to Month 11 between the 2 treatment arms. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of the 2 treatment arms; i.e. Arm 1 ranibizumab monotherapy, Arm 2 ranibizumab with Grid&Direct short pulse laser photocoagulation combination therapy. There were 3 periods in this study: Screening Period (visit 1), Treatment Period (visit 2 to Visit 13) and Follow-up Period (visit 14). In addition to screening and Baseline (visit 2), there were monthly visits from Month 1 to Month 12. This study included male and female patients (≥20 years old) diagnosed with visual impairment due to ME secondary to BRVO.

To compare bromfenac 0.09%, diclofenac sodium 0.1%, and ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solutions for the treatment of acute pseudophakic CME after cataract surgery.

Eligible eyes are randomized to two groups. Group A will receive three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab at 4 week intervals. In group B, three intravitreal injections of combined bevacizumab and fasudil will be performed with the same frequency. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) will be evaluated prior to injections and then every 4 weeks for 6 months. Fluorescein angiography will be performed at baseline and at weeks 12 and 24. The two groups will be compared in terms of BCVA and CMT changes.

The aim of this study is to show that PRPC performed in a single session using a Pascal laser leads to better management of the disease (better rate of regression of neovessels, lower risk of a loss of visual acuity in the long term related to macular edema), a saving of time and better comfort for both patient and doctor.

The Endurance Trial is a phase IV open label clinical study to assess the need for ongoing intravitreal aflibercept injections after the 3-year VISTA DME (VGFT-OD-1009; NCT01363440) end-point. Subjects will be treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections pro re nata (PRN) based on the presence of CR-DME (Clinically Relevant-DME). In addition, subjects who meet re-treatment criteria will be eligible for focal laser treatment every 90 days.

The purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral administration of ruboxistaurin will reduce the occurrence of sustained moderate visual loss (SMVL) in patients with clinically significant macular edema. SMVL is defined as a 15 letter or more decrease from baseline in best-corrected Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity that is sustained for the patient's last 6 months of study participation. The SMVL data from this study will be combined with the SMVL data from Study B7A-MC-MBDL for the purpose of comparing ruboxistaurin to placebo.

The objective of this study is to image retinal vascular alterations in patients with retinal disease using the AngioVue OCT-A system and understand the information these images provide. The investigators will image study participants who have retinal diseases with the AngioVue unit (Optovue) and will collect relevant clinical data to understand the nature of the information contained in images obtained on AngioVue. This study being conducted under an abbreviated IDE. The investigators will analyze data using descriptive statistics. Risks related to light exposure will be managed by ensuring that the exposure to the AngioVue light source is well below maximum permissible limits for safe exposure.

To evaluate the effects of Trientine Hydrochloride in prevention of post-laser (pan-retinal photocoagulation) macular edema in the eyes for subjects with diabetic retinopathy. Trientine hydrochloride can limit secondary inflammatory damage to retinal vessels following the administration of pan-retinal photocoagulation therapy for severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or retinal neovascularization due to diabetic retinopathy, resulting in less macular edema and improved visual outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous of the eye and thickness of the macula after treatment of topical ketorolac for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
