Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness among seniors in Canada. It is often associated with an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), but its exact mechanism is still largely unknown. Some studies have shown a link between glaucoma and changes in the amount of oxygen in the veins of the eye. The study aims to compare the amount of oxygen in ocular veins among three different groups using a spectrophotometer. This instrument is linked to a camera and can measure the quantity of oxygen in the veins using different characteristics of the blood inside. The groups of the study are: patients without glaucoma, patients suspected of glaucoma and patients newly diagnosed with glaucoma. The drug the investigators are using, Travoprost 0.004%, will only be administered to the groups suspected or diagnosed with glaucoma. Travoprost 0.004% is already approved for use in Quebec and is part of standard care. Ten patients will be recruited into each group for a total of 30 patients in this study. All patients for the suspected or diagnosed groups will be recruited from the Jewish General Hospital. Subsequently all testing will be done at the École d'optométrie, Université de Montréal

To establish the clinical performance of the SOLX Gold Shunt for its ability to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with refractory glaucoma where medical and conventional surgical treatments have failed.

A double-masked, parallel study of AR-12286 Ophthalmic Solution 0.5%, or 0.7% (q.d., PM) or timolol maleate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.5% (b.i.d.), O.U. for 3 months.

The purpose of this study is to assess the comfort of a glaucoma therapy in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

Use of the Titanium Sapphire laser for laser trabeculoplasty to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with poorly controlled intraocular pressure on maximally tolerated medical therapy or prior failed laser trabeculoplasty.

The clinical difference (mean IOP, success rate, and complications) on using S2 and FP7 models of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve that had similar dimensions and different materials used for their construction in one year follow up was evaluated.

This is an open-label, Phase 2a clinical study of LL-BMT1 in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Study subjects will be treated for 7 days with a single dose of LL-BMT1.

The purpose of this study is to test if latanoprost punctal plugs will reduce eye pressure in subjects with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.

Prospective, unmasked, randomized evaluation of the iStent in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) iStent, or 2) medication.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the Hydrus Implant to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery.
