Active clinical trials for "Retinal Diseases"

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the safety of rAAV2/8-hCYP4V2 gene replacement therapy drug administered as a single subretinal injection in patients with Bietti's Crystalline Dystrophy (BCD). Secondary Objectives: To preliminarily explore the clinical effectiveness of rAAV2/8-hCYP4V2 gene replacement therapy drugs.

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of the SPECTRALIS CENTAURUS device (HuCE-optoLab, BFH TI, Biel, CH) in a clinical setting on patients with retinal diseases.

Background and study aims When an infant is born premature, the blood vessels in the eyes have not developed fully on the retina, and can start to grow incorrectly and result in blindness. To prevent this from happening, premature infants are often screened, and treated with laser or injections into the eye to prevent retinal detachment. A new treatment strategy with steroid eye drops have been found to prevent serious blood vessel growth. The treatment is commonly used in older children and adults to treat different inflammatory conditions, but how the drop is absorbed in premature infants and if there is any risk of side-effects is poorly investigated. The aim of this study is to document how the steroid drop is absorbed and excreted in premature infants and to study if there is a risk of any side effects. Who can participate? Premature infants born before gestational age week 30, that undergo eye-screening at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg and Skånes University Hospital in Malmö and Lund, in the need for steroid eye-drop treatment against pathological vessels. It is not possible to participate if the infant has received systemic steroid treatment 2 weeks prior to the eye-drop treatment, or has an ongoing ocular infection. What does the study involve? The study involves blood and saliva samples according to a specific protocol designed to be able to learn about the uptake and breakdown of the steroid in premature infants. Measurements of blood pressure, growth and a few urine samples will also be collected during the treatment period usually lasting for some weeks. At 2.5 and 5 years of age, visual acuity, refractive errors and retinal thickness measurements will be noted. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? The infant will receive steroid eye-drops that have been noted to heavily reduce the number of infants that develop retinal changes that require injections or laser treatment. The blood samples have been reduced to an absolute minimum in volume and numbers, but will entail some extra samplings from the infant. The infant will be rigorously checked with regard to any possible side effects from the steroid treatment. Possible but unlikely side effects from the low dose in eye drops are; elevated blood pressure, retarded growth, lowered endogenous steroid production during the eye-drop treatment, increase in blood glucose, and an increase in intra-ocular pressure.

OPL-0401-201 is a multicenter study to investigate the safety and efficacy of OPL-0401 in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) with diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy has been found progress in 20-70% diabetic patient after cataract phacoemulsification surgery. Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF Ranibizumab is an important treatment for diabetic retinopathy including non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). However, there is no research about phacoemulsification surgery combine Intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab on diabetic retinopathy. The research focus on the effect of phacoemulsification surgery combine intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab on mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and explore the reasons for differences in treatment outcomes.

This clinical trial is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled , parallel design, superiority, phase 4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Entelon 50mg in 396 patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main complications in diabetes, the proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the most important one of the reasons leading to decreased vision, PDR is the stage of clinical intervention. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is an effective treatment for PDR, while vitreous haemorrhage (VH) is a common complication after PPV, with incidence ranging from 11.8% to 75%, and is the main cause of reoperation. Anti-Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for vitreous hemorrhage can inhibit neovascularization and prevent recurrent vitreous haemorrhage after absorption. Previous studies have found that anti-VEGF is a safe and effective treatment for postoperative recurrent VH. In consideration of the psychological and economic factor of patients, this study intends to observe the effectiveness of single vitreous injection of Ranibizumab in the treatment of postoperative recurrent VH on the basis of previous clinical work. Compare the visual acuity, macular thickness, VH recurrence and patient satisfaction between the Ranibizumab group and the PPV group by randomized grouping.To observe the effective rate and clearance time of recurrent VH after Ranibizumab treatment and whether it can effectively reduce the rate of PPV. To provide clinical guidance for the precise treatment of PDR patients, the treatment of PDR patients has important clinical significance and social and economic significance.

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and sub-tenon delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Eye diseases

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an adeno-associated virus vector expressing CYP4V2 in patients with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy (BCD).

This is a randomized, double-masked study to evaluate the tolerability and safety of IRX-101 versus 5% povidone-iodine (PI) in subjects receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.
