Active clinical trials for "Macular Degeneration"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary biologic activity/efficacy of X-82 in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by change from baseline in visual acuity, fluorescein leakage, retinal thickness and fibrosis, if detectable, based on fundus examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Effects of VEGF Trap-Eye (aflibercept) in treatment-naive polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ranibizumab in patients affected by wet age related macular degeneration (wAMD).

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) with a new medication,rituximab is effective. To address this issue, investigators propose a clinical trial in which patients with late stage disease, poor vision and who have failed treatment by conventional means will receive rituximab by direct injection into the affected eye and will be followed for improvement in the structure of their retina. Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in the elderly with routine care involving injections in the eye to improve and to prevent worsening of vision. However, some patients do not respond to the medications that we currently have and as such an alternative medication is needed. One potential medication is rituximab, which has been injected into the eye for primary eye cancer, and has been tolerated well and led to patient improvement. Investigators will obtain baseline eye tests then plan on injecting this medication in to the eye of our patients with late stage AMD, by first placing numbing drops into the eye, then injecting the medication directly into the eye using sterile techniques. Investigators will then follow the patient and repeat eye tests to monitor for improvements.

The purpose of the study is assess safety, bioactivity, and maximal tolerated dose of repeated weekly intravenous infusion of combretastatin A-4 phosphate (CA4P) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration

The effect of omega-3-fatty acids on blood levels omega-3 fatty acids in patients with age-related macular degeneration.

Surgical outcome of vitrectomy for myopic traction maculopathy in highly myopic eyes was evaluated in each stage. Efficacy of internal limiting membrane was also evaluated whether it may improve visual outcome.

A study to use in home technology to reduce the burden of in office visits and injections.

This study will evaluate and compare two individualized ranibizumab treatment regimens in patients with neovascular (wet) AMD aiming to achieve and to maintain a maximum visual function benefit, while aiming to avoid unnecessary intravitreal injections. The results will be used to generate further recommendations on functional and anatomical monitoring of the disease and timing of treatment administration for patients with neovascular AMD. In this context, the study will investigate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to aid retreatment decisions with ranibizumab.

This study will evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of 800 mg ALK4290 administered daily over a 6-week dosing period in subjects with refractory wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD).
