Active clinical trials for "Retinal Diseases"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and image quality of the investigational dye, MB-102, compared to the control dye (fluorescein sodium) in healthy and diseased eyes using fluorescent angiography for retinal vascular disease diagnosis and monitoring.

The goal of this pragmatic trial is to test the benefit of using artificial intelligence-based eye screening i.e, a fundus camera device in the early detection of eye complications in diabetics. The main questions it aims to answer are: To what extent does the application of artificial intelligence-based eye care at primary care clinics work well in achieving early detection of eye complications such as macular oedema? To what extent does the application of artificial intelligence-based eye care at primary care clinics work well in achieving early detection of eye complications such as retinopathy? Participants will be asked to participate in the screening for eye complications at primary care centres, and a fundus camera will be used for screening. Researchers will compare the proportion of detected cases with early signs of eye complication among those using artificial intelligence-based eye screening i.e., fundus camera, to the proportion of detected cases among those using routine eye care clinics at the primary care centre. Early detection of eye complications in diabetics prevents the risk of blindness.

Study and assessment of characteristic changes in foveal avascular zone during different stages of diabetic retinopathy using OCTA.

Early detection through regular diabetic retinopathy screening (DRS) is an effective method of preventing vision loss by enabling earlier intervention and timely treatment. It is recommended that all people with diabetes receive regular DRS, either annually or bi-annually. Current DRS practice in Canada, however, falls remarkably short of recommended DRS rates resulting in preventable vision loss. In this project the investigators use population health-based approach to diabetes care. Linked provincial administrative data will be leveraged to consistently identify all those that have not had DRS in 425 days with the goal to improve outcomes, equity and potentially reduce the cost of care delivery.

A Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Oral AKST4290 in Participants with Moderately Severe to Severe Diabetic Retinopathy (CAPRI).

This study "A Long-Term Follow-Up Study in Subjects Who Received an Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Serotype 2 Containing the Multi-Characteristic Opsin Gene (vMCO-I) Administered Via Intravitreal Injection" is an observational study and will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP)- International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects satisfying all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. All subject who completed the parent clinical study (NSCT/CT/18/01) will undergo safety and efficacy assessments up to 5 years post study drug injection

This study is a retrospective, multi-center real world study. The real world data comes from the electronic medical record system and disease database of the research centers .The patient's demographic information, disease information, clinical treatment status, efficacy evaluation and adverse events and so on will be collected and evaluated by applicability of the data, generated an analysis data set. Use the causal inference method of statistical analysis to observe the effectiveness and safety of intravitreal injection of Conbercept, and explore the effectiveness and safety of different doses in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.

The retinal vessels have been shown to reflect vascular changes inherent to systemic pathologies, even when no ocular disease is identified. As such, the eye's vasculature is ableto serve as a window to the vascular health of the human body and a means of assessing systemic endothelial function. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) employs optical means to image all the retinal vascular layers and the choroid, providing an extremely detailed image of the microvascular network in a fast, reproducible and totally non-invasive way. As such, it is currently the best non-invasive way of having an image of human capillaries. Recently, OCTA has been used to study the retinal vessels' structure and function in several cardiovascular diseases. As an example of its predictive potential, reduced retinal microvascular density has been associated with the cardiovascular risk profile in patients admitted to the hospital for an acute coronary syndrome. Recent studies have also shown the retinal microvasculature density to be reduced in patients with carotid artery disease (CAD), namely carotid stenosis, and that endarterectomy increases retinal flow and vessel density.

The objective of the study is to collect adaptive optics (AO) retinal images from human subjects with outer retinal diseases (diseases of the outer retina including photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), basement membrane or choroidal pathologies) to develop new diagnostic methods, biomarkers, and clinical endpoints.

Background: Retinal diseases cause the loss of rod and cone photoreceptors. Symptoms include vision loss and night blindness. Researchers want to learn about rod and cone function in healthy people and people with retinal disease. They want to know if how well a person sees in the dark can test the severity of retinal disease. Objectives: To find out if how well a person sees in the dark can test the severity of retinal disease. To find out if this can help detect retinal disease and track its changes. Eligibility: People ages 5 and older with: Retinal disease OR 20/20 vision or better with or without correction in at least one eye Design: Participants will be screened with medical and eye history and eye exam. Those with retinal disease will also have: Eye imaging: Drops dilate the eye and pictures are taken of it. Visual field testing: Participants look into a bowl and press a button when they see light. Electroretinogram (ERG): An electrode is taped to the forehead. Participants sit in the dark with their eyes patched for 30 minutes. Then they get numbing drops and contact lenses. Participants watch lights while retina signals are recorded. Visit 1 will be 3-8 hours. Participants will have up to 6 more visits over 6-12 months. Visits include: Eye exam and imaging Time course of dark adaptation: Participants view a background light for 5 minutes then push a button when they see colored light. Dark adapted sensitivity: Participants sit in the dark for 45 minutes. They push a button when they see colored light. For participants with retinal disease, ERG and visual field testing
