Active clinical trials for "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.

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.

This study will assess the safety and utility of the new inserter for the administration of ILUVIEN 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.

This study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab (0.5 mg) as adjunctive therapy when added to laser photocoagulation and/or as monotherapy in Asian patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).

Lack of an effective treatment for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion and the bad response to grid laser treatment in patients with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion, together with the high incidence of the pathology and the great functional loss in the patients that suffer from it has motivated the search for new therapeutic approaches. In recent times, intravitreal bevacizumab has been tested in clinical practice in small series of patients with this pathology, whether as first treatment or after failure of grid laser treatment with good functional results in short series. However, no retreatment information is available, although preliminary results from published series are good.

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 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.

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.

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