Active clinical trials for "Ocular Hypertension"

The purpose of this study is to obtain genetic data on a well-defined population of patients with glaucoma that had accurate measurements of rates of structural and functional change over time. The investigators aim to recruit 5,000 patients for Phase I and 100 patients for Phase II over a period of 2 years for obtaining blood samples which will be processed for extraction of DNA and genotyping. Phase II also includes eye examination. Patients will be selected from the Duke Glaucoma Registry (DGR) database and will be contacted by phone, mail or email using a standardized script and procedure. Data analysis, based on patient-blind (no personal health information) data will take place at Duke and Genentech. No protected health information (PHI) will leave Duke. Standard statistical methods will be used to analyze the collected data and to develop predictive statistical models for fast progression in glaucoma. Risks from participating in the study are low and include loss of confidentiality and inherent issues related to drawing blood.

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of AL-59412C injected intravitreally relative to Vehicle.

This study is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, safety and tolerability study, which will be conducted at one study site. This study will include 3 cohorts. Each cohort will have approximately 5 subjects. Subjects will not be randomized into the study. The first cohort will receive low dose drug insert, second cohort will receive 2 low dose drug inserts thus achieving twice the drug levels compared to cohort I and third cohort will receive high dose drug insert.

Parallel, Multi-Center, Double-masked, Active controlled, three arm study comparing the IOP lowering efficacy and safety over 12 months of morning or evening instillations of Travoprost/Brinzolamide vs. Cosopt dosed in the morning and evening in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of a new fixed combination of brinzolamide/brimonidine (Brinz/Brim) to: its individual components (Brinz and Brim), and the concomitant administration of Brinz and Brim (Brinz+Brim).

The purpose of the study is to compare the IOP lowering efficacy of Travoprost/Brinzolamide dosed daily in the morning or evening, vs TRAVATAN dosed once daily in the evening, and vs. AZOPT dosed BID in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of two different IOP lowering medications after six weeks of treatment in Caucasian and Japanese subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the TUG device is safe and effective in patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

To compare the efficacy and safety in patients treated with travoprost versus dorzolamide/timolol maleate combination in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, resulting from progressive axonal destruction of the optic nerve. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common form, and it is usually painless with insidious onset. Conventional treatment is focused on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), the one risk factor that can be modified, which has been demonstrated to protect against further damage to the optic-nerve head. Acupuncture is an ancient treatment which has been found to be beneficial for many ailments, and may reduce IOP. We propose a pilot study to evaluate whether acupuncture is an effective and safe modality for reducing elevated IOP in patients with open angle glaucoma and primary ocular hypertension. Patients with elevated IOP on tonometric measurement (20mmHg < IOP < 30mmHg) will be treated twice-weekly with a standardized (as opposed to individualized) acupuncture treatment. Treatment will last for four-weeks (for a total of 8 treatments), and patients will be evaluated for IOP diurnal curves at 2 weeks (4 treatment), 4 weeks (end of treatment ) and then 4 weeks following the last treatment.
