Active clinical trials for "Retinal Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral valproic acid to slow the progression of visual function and/or to improve the visual function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Enrolled subjects in valproic acid group will be treated with oral valproic acid 500mg daily for 48 weeks. Visual function and safety will be assess before and after treatment (48 weeks) between valproic acid and control groups.

Although vitreous hemorrhage (VH) from proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) can cause acute and dramatic vision loss for patients with diabetes, there is no current, evidence-based clinical guidance as to what treatment method is most likely to provide the best visual outcomes once intervention is desired. Intravitreous anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy alone or vitrectomy combined with intraoperative PRP each provide the opportunity to stabilize or regress retinal neovascularization. However, clinical trials are lacking to elucidate the relative time frame of visual recovery or final visual outcome in prompt vitrectomy compared with initial anti-VEGF treatment. The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network Protocol N demonstrated short-term trends consistent with a possible beneficial effect of anti-VEGF treatment in eyes with VH from PDR, including greater visual acuity improvement and reduced rates of recurrent VH as compared with saline injection. It is possible that a study with a longer duration of follow-up with structured anti-VEGF retreatment would demonstrate even greater effectiveness of anti-VEGF for VH to avoid vitrectomy and its attendant adverse events while also improving visual acuity. On the other hand, advances in surgical techniques leading to faster operative times, quicker patient recovery, and reduced complication rates may make prompt vitrectomy a more attractive alternative since it results in the immediate ability to clear hemorrhage and to perform PRP if desired, often as part of one procedure. This proposed study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two treatment approaches for eyes with VH from PDR: prompt vitrectomy + PRP and intravitreous aflibercept injections.

To evaluate efficacy of different intravitreal Conbercept injection therapy in the treatment of severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Laser therapy is an established method to stabilize and control proliferative diabetic eye disease. Questions on the long-term effect on the retina from these treatments remain to be answered. The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes in the retina following panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) over time, using structural and functional diagnostic tests.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of topical ocular PAN-90806 in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-masked, Placebo-controlled Multicenter Clinical Trial Designed to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Luminate in Inducing PVD in Subjects with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

To evaluate the effects of oral emixustat hydrochloride (emixustat) on aqueous humor biomarkers associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) from baseline to week 12.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and establish the effectiveness of two doses from the IRay System for the treatment of wet AMD.

Macular edema remains a major cause of vision impairment in diabetic patients. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and incompletely understood. Systemic factors seam to play a role in this pathogenesis, including high blood pressure. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of an intensified intervention on blood pressure and sleep apnea with that of conventional treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic macular edema.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of propranolol is effective in the treatment of the retinopathy of the prematurity.
