Vitamin A Palmitate Supplementation in People With Age-Related Macular Degeneration (and Without...

AMD

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease. It is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 55 in the U.S. Changes in the eye can make it difficult for the eye to adjust to low light. This is known as dark adaptation. Identifying and watching the early to middle stages of AMD and changes in dark adaptation might help researchers develop new treatments to stop the disease before it becomes severe. Taking vitamin A might help improve vision in people with AMD. Objectives: To see if taking 16,000 IU of vitamin A per day improves vision in people with AMD. Also to improve understanding of AMD and associated dark adaptation. Eligibility: Adults ages 50 and older with AMD and normal liver function Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and eye disease history Eye exam: The pupil will be dilated with eye drops. Pictures will be taken of the retina and the inside of the eye. Including the screening visit, participants will have at least 5 visits. They will be about once a month over 6 months. Visits include: Questions about eye problems in certain light Eye exam Blood and urine tests Dark adaptation protocol: Participants will sit at a machine in a dark room. They will look into the machine and push a button when they see a light. This lasts 20-30 minutes. Participants will take a vitamin A supplement by mouth once a day for 2 months. They will record when they take the pills in a diary.

Reticular Pseudodrusen (RPD)Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease. It is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 55 in the U.S. Changes in the eye can make it difficult for they eye to adjust to low light. This is known as dark adaptation. This is particularly significant in people with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD). Identifying and watching the early to middle stages of AMD and changes in dark adaptation might help researchers learn to stop the disease before it becomes severe. Taking vitamin A might help improve vision in people with RPD. Objectives: To see if taking 16,000 IU of vitamin A per day improves vision in people with RPD. Also to improve understanding of RPD and associated dark adaptation. Eligibility: Adults ages 50 and older with RPD and normal liver function Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and eye disease history Eye exam: The pupil will be dilated with eye drops. Pictures will be taken of the retina and the inside of the eye. Including the screening visit, participants will have at least 5 visits. They will be about once a month over 6 months and last 4-6 hours. Visits include: Questions about eye problems in certain light Eye exam Blood and urine tests Dark adaptation protocol: Participants will sit at a machine in a dark room. They will look into the machine and push a button when they see a light. This lasts 20-40 minutes. Participants will take a vitamin A supplement by mouth once a day for 2 months. They will record when they take the pills in a diary.

A Study of the Safety and Tolerability of ASP7317 in Adults Who Are Losing Their Clear, Sharp Central...

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

This study is for adults 50 years or older who are losing their clear, sharp central vision. Central vision is needed to be able to read and drive a car. They have been diagnosed with dry age-related macular degeneration (called dry AMD). The macula is the center part of the back of the eye that allows you to see fine detail. In an advanced stage of this disease, areas of the macula die (atrophy), resulting in vision loss. This is called geographic atrophy. This study is looking at a new treatment called ASP7317. It is for slowing or reversing atrophy in dry AMD. ASP7317 is a specially created type of cells derived from human stem cells. ASP7317 cells are injected into the macula of the eye while the person is under anesthesia (local or general). An immunosuppressive medicine (tacrolimus) is also taken around the time of injection of the cells to prevent the body from rejecting them. This study looks at how safe ASP7317 is at 3 different dose levels. Researchers want to learn if the different dose levels of ASP7317 work without causing unwanted medical problems. Each of the 3 doses will be given to 2 groups of people. The first group will be those who have severe vision loss. The second group will be those who have moderate vision loss. The doses are low, medium and high numbers of cells. Tacrolimus will be taken by mouth for 34 days, starting around the time of the injection of ASP7317. In addition, medicines to prevent infection will be taken by mouth for up to 4 weeks starting around the time ASP7317 cells are injected. Each week for the first 4 weeks after the ASP7317 cells have been injected, people taking part in the study will visit the clinic so the researchers can make assessments. Then they will visit again, at weeks 6, 8, 12, 16, 26, and 52 (last week of the study). A substudy will be available at some clinics. These clinics will use a special camera that will allow researchers to look at images of the macular atrophy over time.

Cytokine and Visual Outcome Variations in Eyes Receiving Ranibizumab

Age Related Macular DegenerationDiabetic Macular Edema2 more

Objective: To determine the association between baseline aqueous cytokine levels and treatment intervals for patients under a variable dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: A prospective, single-centre study will be performed containing 3 sub-studies according to each study population: nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO and DME. Inclusion criteria are: patients followed at St. Michael's Hospital with the diagnosis of nAMD, macular edema secondary to RVO or DME. Patients will be excluded if visual acuity is worse than counting fingers, with macular pathologies causing any structural changes to the retina, have received anti-VEGF injections or photocoagulation therapy 6 months prior to study, intraocular surgery 3 months prior to study, any history of vitreoretinal surgery or ocular inflammation in the study eye, use of systemic or topical anti-inflammatory or steroids, patients on dialysis for renal failure, allergy to the study drug or fluorescein, <18 years old, women who are pregnant. All patients will be treated with ranibizumab intravitreal injections on a variable dosing regimen: Patients with DME will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months (baseline, weeks 4 and 8). Afterwards, they will continue to be seen monthly and the need for new injections will be decided upon the clinical findings at each visit. An anterior chamber (AC) tap will be done if an injection is required at the visit. Patients with nAMD and RVO will be examined monthly and receive mandatory injection for the first three months. From weeks 12 until 72 (month 18), the visits will be scheduled at increasing 2-weeks intervals based on the stability of the ocular condition and response to treatment. At each visit, an injection and AC tap will be performed. The maximum interval in between injections is 12 weeks. If the disease becomes unstable, the interval in between injections is shortened and, once it stabilizes, the treatment frequency is extended again. In all patients, baseline aqueous humour specimens will be obtained prior to the first ranibizumab intravitreal injection and follow-up samples will be taken immediately prior to subsequent injections based on the treatment regimens for cytokine analysis in the end of the follow-up.
