Active clinical trials for "Macular Degeneration"

The objective of this study is to provide initial safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics information of intravitreal administration of pegcetacoplan in order to support further development into larger Phase II studies for treatment of patients with AMD.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of HB002.1M, a human immunoglobulin Fc fusion protein containing domain 2 and flanking sequence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-1 in subjects with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

This investigator initiated pilot study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of SD-OCT-guided intravitreal ranibizumab treatment in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to myopia. Newly diagnosed and active CNVs due to myopia are treated with one intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab 0.5mg (Lucentis) at baseline. During the follow up period of 12 months monthly ophthalmological examinations including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and high resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) assessments are performed. Detection of persisting or new signs of CNV activity at OCT triggers ranibizumab re-treatment considering that any ranibizumab injections can maximally be applied as often as monthly.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zimura intravitreal (IVT) administration when administered in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

To assess the safety and efficacy of repeated intravitreal injections of DE-122 (low dose and high dose) given in combination with Lucentis® in subjects with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with Lucentis® alone.

Wet age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of blind registration in the United Kingdom (UK). Standard treatment involves regular eye injections of a drug called ranibizumab (Lucentis). For most patients, ranibizumab maintains their vision but the effect of the drug is temporary, and they therefore require monthly hospital visits and typically six injections into the eye every year, probably for life. This study tests a new surgical device that delivers a focal dose of radiation (epimacular brachytherapy) to the macula (the part inside the back of the eye that gives fine central vision), to try and reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing, regular eye injections. The trial compares epimacular brachytherapy to ongoing standard treatment with ranibizumab. Whereas most studies of this new surgical device target patients who have not yet commenced any treatment, this study targets those who are requiring frequent eye injections, as there are limited surgical resources and these resources are best directed to those who have not fully responded to ranibizumab therapy, or whose response is shortlived. These patients have the most to gain from a device that may reduce their burden of treatment. The findings in untreated disease cannot be extrapolated to this discrete subset of patients, hence the need for a study that targets refractory disease. It is hypothesised that epimacular brachytherapy will reduce the frequency of Lucentis® (ranibizumab) re-treatment that patients require, whilst maintaining visual acuity.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and establish the effectiveness of two doses from the IRay System for the treatment of wet AMD.

To evaluate safety, visual acuity outcomes, persistence of choroidal neovascular leakage, and the number of treatments of combination intravitreal bevacizumab and verteporfin photodynamic therapy at standard or reduced fluence level in patients with subfoveal CNV due to age-related macular degeneration.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of anterior chamber paracentesis, brimonidine and oral acetazolamide to reduce intra-ocular pressure variations after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ARC1905 intravitreous injection in subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
