Active clinical trials for "Macular Edema"

The specific aims of the study are to test the following hypotheses: That there is a difference in change in visual acuity resulting from treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab compared with dexamethasone implant in eyes with advanced macular oedema That there is a difference in degree of resolution of macular oedema resulting from treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab compared with dexamethasone implant in eyes with advanced macular oedema That both intravitreal bevacizumab and dexamethasone implants have a manageable and acceptable safety profile in eyes with diabetic macular oedema

The purpose of the study to assess the efficacy of pegaptanib sodium 0.3 mg comparing sham injection and to confirm safety of pegaptanib sodium 0.3 mg in subjects with diabetic macular edema.

To evaluate, specifically within the Canadian medical environment, the efficacy, safety and cost-efficacy of ranibizumab administered either as combination therapy (ranibizumab plus laser photocoagulation), or as monotherapy in comparison with the current standard of care (laser photocoagulation monotherapy), in patients with visual impairment due to DME.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of choline fenofibrate on the regression of macular edema in eyes of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presenting with diabetic macular edema (DME)

This is a 3-year randomized, dose masked, three-arm controlled, pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal FA implants (0.59mg and 2.1mg), when compared to laser photocoagulation in the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema.

Diabetics retinopathy remains the major threat to sight in the working age population in the developed world. Furthermore, it is increasing as a major cause of blindness in other parts of the world, especially developing countries. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a manifestation of diabetic retinopathy that produces loss of central vision. The triamcinolone intravitreal injection (1-4mg) is indicated to treatment of diabetic macular edema and it is considered an important treatment since it improves the visual acuity of patients with resolution of edema. Nepafenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), usually sold as a prescription eye drop (0.1% solution). Nepafenac is manufactured by Alcon as Nevanac. It is approved by FDA as well as ANVISA. Pre-clinical studies suggest this medication showed efficacy to treat ocular posterior segment inflammation. The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone associated with nepafenac eye drops as treatment of diabetic macular edema.

This Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and duration of effect of a helical intravitreal triamcinolone implant for the treatment of diabetic macular edema over a three-year period.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of an intravitreal insert of fluocinolone acetonide for the treatment of diabetic macular edema

This is an open-label study evaluating the safety and tolerability of topical ocular mecamylamine given twice a day in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Patients will be treated for 12 weeks.

Uveitis is an inflammation (swelling and irritation) inside the eye, affecting the uvea. The uvea is the layer of the eye between the sclera and the retina and provides most of the blood supply to the retina. Uveitis is an important cause of visual loss. There are 30,000 new cases of legal blindness each year due to uveitis in the U.S. Sight-threatening complications associated with uveitis include macular edema, which may persist even when inflammation is controlled. The only current treatment for cystoid macular edema (CME) in uveitis patients is oral or regional steroid injections. For patients who don't respond to steroids or who are unable to tolerate steroid therapy, there are no other medical treatments. The aim of this study is to determine if ranibizumab, an FDA-approved treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, is an effective treatment for those patients with uveitis-induced CME who are unable to be treated with or non-responsive to steroids.
