Safety and Pharmacokinetics of RTH258 in Subjects With Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this study is to assess the systemic pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of 2 different doses of brolucizumab (3 milligrams (mg)/50 microliters (μL) and 6 mg/50 μL) when administered at 4-week intervals for a total of 3 intravitreal injections in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection and Follow-Up Study

GlaucomaGlaucoma Suspect11 more

The goal is to conduct a 5-year prospective, randomized controlled trial to test an innovative, community-based intervention using posterior and anterior fundus photography of the optic nerve and macula and intraocular eye pressure measurements to improve access and utilization of eye care to detect, treat, and manage high-risk patients with previously undiagnosed glaucoma and other eye diseases. Research shows that subject failure to attend follow-up eye care appointments diminishes any previous benefits of community screenings for glaucoma. Greater adherence to follow-up visits can reduce glaucomatous blindness.

Treatment of Advanced Dry Age Related Macular Degeneration With AAVCAGsCD59

Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in individuals over age 60. AMD is classified as wet and dry. Wet AMD constitutes 10 to 15% of all cases of AMD and occurs when an abnormal blood vessel grows in or under the retina leading to central vision loss. Wet AMD is successfully treated with injections in the eye on a monthly basis that stop the blood vessel from growing and leaking. The most common form of AMD is the dry variant or dry AMD that affects 85 to 90% of all patients with AMD. In dry AMD, there is loss of retinal pigment, formation of deposits called drusen, and loss of the vessels in a layer of the retina called the choriocapillaris. In the most severe forms of dry AMD there is loss of retinal tissue called geographic atrophy. Over time retinal tissue degenerates in the area responsible for central vision leading to vision loss leading to legal blindness. Currently no treatment for dry AMD exists so that there is a significant unmet need in patients with this ocular disease. Recently, evidence has implicated an overactive inflammatory cascade called the complement system as playing a pivotal role in the development of dry AMD. The complement cascade consists of 3 arms that converge to form a pore-like complex on the surface of cells called the membrane attack complex (MAC). Accumulation of MAC on cell surfaces leads to cell damage and death causing the clinical findings seen in AMD. Normal cells within the human body produce a protein on their cell surfaces called CD59 that blocks the MAC from forming. In AMD, the complement cascade is upregulated and leads to more MAC formation than the body can protect itself against leading to cell destruction. AAVCAGsCD59, an ocular gene therapy product that is injected in to the eye in the physician's office, causes normal retinal cells to increase the expression of a soluble form of CD59 (sCD59). This soluble recombinant version of the naturally occurring CD59 is designed and intended to protect retinal cells that are responsible for central vision by inhibiting the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), the terminal step of complement-mediated cell lysis. In gene therapy the cells of the retina are potentially permanently altered to make sCD59 for the life of the patient. With gene therapy only one injection is needed for the drug to be effective for the patient's entire life. This study will evaluate the safety after a single injection of AAVCAGsCD59 administered in an office setting for patients whose enrolled eye has advanced dry AMD with geographic atrophy. The initial study is 26 weeks followed by an additional 18-month safety evaluation.

A Safety Study in Healthy Volunteers to Evaluate Safety, How Fast the Drug is Absorbed, and the...

Macular Degeneration

This study is to evaluate the safety, absorption rate and side effects associated with the study drug. Healthy volunteers will be given a single dose of the drug in Part 1. Subjects will be dosed at the same time at several different sites. In Part 2 of the study elderly volunteers will participate in a 14 day repeat dose session receiving either study drug or a placebo (sugar pill). Data from at least 7 days of safety will be reviewed from the first set of volunteers before increasing the doses for the next set. All results will be used for planning the next study.

Effectiveness of Oral Acetazolamide, Brimonidine Tartarate, and Anterior Chamber Paracentesis in...

Macular EdemaDiabetic Retinopathy1 more

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of anterior chamber paracentesis, brimonidine and oral acetazolamide to reduce intra-ocular pressure (IOP) variations after intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVBV). Methods: 47 patients scheduled for IVBV (1.5 mg / 0.06 ml) will be randomly assigned to a pre-treatment 1 hour before IVBV with either 250 mg oral acetazolamide (DIA, 9 eyes), anterior chamber paracentesis immediate after IVBV (PAR, 15 eyes), topic brimonidine tartarate 1 hour before IVBV (BRI, 14 eyes), or no pre-treatment IBVB (CTR, 9 eyes). IOP will be measured 90 minutes before injection (baseline), just before injection, and at 3, 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the procedure.

"Night Vision and Carotenoids"

Macular Degeneration

Vision at twilight and night is more difficult and dangerous for the entire population, even more so for the elderly and especially for the elderly with degenerative disease. Multiple worldwide laboratories have demonstrated the ability to raise macular pigment optical density with dietary carotenoids. This proposal further evaluates the relationship between macular re- pigmentation and vision under stressed conditions simulating twilight and night driving.
