Active clinical trials for "Macular Degeneration"

The aim of this integrated analysis is to describe the effectiveness of Eylea in an integrated pooled analysis using existing individual patient data of two non-interventional studies RAINBOW and PERSEUS. The primary objective of this integrated analysis is to describe the effectiveness of Eylea on the mean change from baseline in visual acuity (VA) at 12 months in Wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) treatment naïve patients.

The primary objective of this study is to test non-inferiority of aflibercept "treat and extend" using a relaxed retinal fluid management relative to aflibercept "treat and extend" using a strict retinal fluid management SD-OCT (spectral domain optical coherence tomography) disease activity guided retreatment with respect to best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to end of treatment.

The main objectives of this non-interventional cohort field study are to evaluate effectiveness of Eylea and to describe follow-up as well as treatment patterns in patients with wAMD (wet age-related macular degeneration) in routine clinical practice in Italy for a study population of "naïve" patients

Diabetic related complications are increasing day by day due to increse in the number of diabetic patients all over the world. Diabetic macular edema is one of them and a major cause of vision imparment. Various kind of treatment modalities are preent to treat this coplication. Grid laser is one treatment modality. Laser phtocoagulation is a destrictive procedure.Laser power if kept to aminimum can get the desired results without severe destruction to the retina . In this study, the investigators are going to document the effect of minimal grid laser tn loss o overcome the visioe to diabetic macular edema.

The primary objective is to study if an inhibition of nitric oxide and/or prostaglandins affect the diameter changes of retinal vessels observed during hypoxia. Diameter changes are studied using the Dynamic Vessel Analyzer.

The study population will be selected from the "Epidemiological study on the prevalence of Age related Macular Degeneration in Portugal" (Protocol N. CC-01-2009) where retinal photographic grading (current gold standard for AMD assessment) was performed to confirm AMD diagnostic. This study provides a population-based sample in which precise and contemporary information on the frequency of nutritional and lifestyle risk factors will be collected, enabling to evaluate whether the separate and/or joint effects of these factors, if found significant, are likely to have a major public health impact in terms of AMD.

The objective of this survey is to evaluate effectiveness of EYLEA on Quality of Life (QOL). The QOL is evaluated by using Japanese version (v.1.4 - interviewer administered format) of National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25) and compared at baseline and at the 6 and 12 months after start of EYLEA treatment.

Purpose of The Study: The purpose of this study is the following: A)To gather age-related normative visual acuity data for the Vimetrics Central Vision Analyzer (CVA, Vimetrics, LLC, Media, Pa) B)To gather visual acuity data for patients with known ocular problems, including cataract and maculopathy. C)To correlate and compare the CVA visual acuity findings with the acuity measured with standard LogMAR acuity charts viewed under similar conditions of contrast and lighting

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of repeated intravitreal bevacizumab injections on blood-aqueous barrier permeability in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are the treatment of choice in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However 37% of patients are unresponsive or poorly responsive to these therapies. It is still not possible to foresee the patient's response to anti-VEGF injections. A poor response may be related to an activation of alternative pro-angiogenic pathways with over expression of many other pro-angiogenic cytokines. The primary goal of this study is to measure the aqueous humor concentration of pro-angiogenic cytokines in AMD patients.
