Treatment of Patients With Age-Related Macular Degeneration With Anecortave Acetate

Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether anecortave acetate can slow or stop the progression of age-related macular degeneration in patients who do not qualify for other studies and have no other treatment options.

Imaging of the Angiofibrotic Switch in Neovascular AMD

Age-related Macular DegenerationChoroidal Neovascularization

The content of this research project is to identify the angiofibrotic switch, the transition from angiogenesis to fibrosis, in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) longitudinally. Despite optimal treatment about 50% of eyes with nAMD develop fibrosis within 2 years, causing irreversible damage to the retina and functional loss. Objective measurement of fibrosis, however, is challenging, since clinical staging is subjective and current imaging modalities such as color fundus photography (CFP), fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) often do not allow clear delineation. Novel imaging modalities such as polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA) and adaptive-optics OCT (AO-OCT) offer identification of fibrous components and microvasculature of fibrotic lesions non-invasively with highest precision and shall thus be used in this study. Hypotheses: The investigators hypothesize to detect and quantify subclinical (i.e. not detectable on dilated fundus examination) areas of fibrosis using PS-OCT and determine the rate and exact location within the neovascular lesion. Furthermore, the investigators expect neuroretinal and microvascular changes, which will be assessed by AO-OCT and OCTA. Methods: Eighty eyes of 80 patients with chronic nAMD will be included and examined cross- sectionally to evaluate the accuracy of PS-OCT to detect and quantify fibrosis in comparison to gold standard imaging modalities. In addition, OCTA and AO-OCT will be performed to analyze the relationship between fibrous, neovascular and neuroretinal structures. Furthermore, forty eyes of 40 participants with treatment-naïve nAMD will be included and followed over 12 months with predefined follow-up intervals. Novel non-invasive imaging will be applied to objectively determine the exact time and extent of the angiofibrotic switch in nAMD during state-of-the- art therapy. This approach has not been done before and is clinically relevant for multiple reasons: Firstly, only little is known about the development of fibrosis in AMD during therapy. Secondly, the clinical diagnosis of subretinal fibrosis is subjective and does not allow reliable quantification. Thirdly, current gold standard imaging modalities (i.e. CFP and FA) for detection of fibrosis involve invasive and time-consuming procedures and do not allow three-dimensional analysis. Finally, our study may identify objective endpoints for future interventional trials.

Rheohemapheresis and Lutein Supplementation in the Non-Exsudative Form of Age-Related Macular Degeneration...

Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the major causes of blindness in the western world. There is an exsudative and a non-exsudative form of age-related macular degeneration.Most studies concentrate on the exsudative form. In the non-exsudative form the policy is generally watch and see, but patients are at risk to develop an exsudative form. So far, the only accepted therapy to reach stable disease in the non-exsudative form is high-dose supplementation of antioxidants. Another approach to improve visual acuity in patients with non-exsudative form of macular degeneration is rheohemapheresis treatment, an extracorporeal therapy where plasma is separated from blood cells. By the use of a hollow fiber filter plasma is depleted of high molecular weight proteins and reinfused. Others report describe the supplementation of lutein (a vitamin A derivative) as possible treatment option. However, none of the studies have yet examined a combination of rheohemapheresis and lutein supplementation.

Defining Disease Activity in Neovascular AMD With Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this study is to be able to describe optical coherence angiography (OCTA) patterns of disease activity and quiescence in eyes that have received treatment. The target population group is patients that have neovascular age-related macular degeneration and have had treatment with aflibercept for this condition. This is a single-site study and does not involve any masking or treatment allocation.

Incidence and Risk Factor of Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine Retinopathy

Toxic Maculopathy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and risk factor of toxic maculopathy who treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine due to their autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Total 5-year of the study periods, the investigators will screen these patients by baseline examination (Fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, Humphrey visual field test and multifocal electroretinography) and observe with same examination for every year.
