Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma, Open-Angle"

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost sustained-release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The study includes a 12-month treatment period with an 8-month extended follow-up.

Slow release formulation of latanoprost is compared for safety and pressure-lowering efficacy with topically administration of commercially available latanoprost in patient with glaucoma and ocular hypertension

When the glaucoma filtering surgery failures (intraocular pressure rises again), the options is start to use the hypotensive eye drops again (medical treatment). However, in some cases (encapsulated blebs), there is a simple surgical revision that can revival the primary failure surgery. It calls transconjunctival needling revision. In this study, the investigators compare the efficacy of this revision versus medical treatment in 12-month follow up in eyes with encapsulated blebs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of four concentrations of DE-117 ophthalmic solution.

This is a pilot, proof of concept study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALZ-1101 dosed once daily for 28 days compared to latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution in patients with elevated intraocular pressure not adequately controlled with latanoprost.

To establish the safety and performance of the AqueSys Microfistula Implant in eyes with refractory glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the intraocular Pressure (IOP) lowering response and evaluate the safety of brimonidine tartrate 0.025% ophthalmic solution in adult subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

This single-site, dose-escalation study will evaluate safety and tolerability of increasing concentrations of ATS907 in 12 subjects with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and/or Ocular Hypertension

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 planned doses of ONO-9054 in the eyes of adult male and female patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or mild open angle-glaucoma (OAG). The secondary objectives are to evaluate Pharmacodynamics (PD) and to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ONO-9054 and its metabolite in plasma and to compare its tolerability following morning and evening dosing.

Glaucoma is the world's the second leading cause of irreversible blindness. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the incidence of blindness due to glaucoma to be 4.4 million people worldwide in 2002. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the sole proven modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Medical therapy is aimed at lowering IOP in order to prevent or slow progression. Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma, affecting an estimated 60 to 70 million people worldwide. Approximately two-thirds of patients have disease in only one eye on clinical examination; however, XFS is detectable in the other eye with conjunctival biopsy. XFS is also a systemic disease, with effects on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Patients with XFS are twice as likely to convert from ocular hypertension to glaucoma. Glaucoma in XFS is more severe than primary open angle glaucoma. There is greater diurnal IOP fluctuation, greater visual field loss and optic nerve head damage at the time of diagnosis, poorer response to medications, more rapid visual field progression and more frequent need for surgery. Because you meet eligibility criteria for our study, we ask for your consent to participate in the study described below. In brief, you will be taking an investigational drug (AR-12286, rho-kinase Inhibitor) at either 0.5% or 0.7% once a day for 6 months. This drug is currently being tested in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, but not yet in glaucoma in exfoliation syndrome. Because of the mechanism of glaucoma in XFS and the mechanism of action of rho-kinase inhibitors, there is reason to think it would be more effective in eyes with XFS and glaucoma than in primary open-angle glaucoma (ordinary glaucoma). There will be a baseline and study day 1 visit, week 1 visit, month 1 and 3 visit, week 13 visit, month 6 visit and a week 25 visit; for a total of 7 office visits.
