Active clinical trials for "Uveitis"

The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication to treat macular edema that persists despite current treatment methods. Participants will be evaluated for improvement in vision and side effects. Macular edema is a condition that affects the back of the eye (retina). It frequently occurs in people who have a history of diabetes, and is also associated with high blood pressure, uveitis, and previous eye surgery. The main symptom of macular edema is decreased vision, generally a blurring of central vision. There are no direct costs to participants for assessments and treatment as defined in the study protocol. All candidates must be available for required scheduled visits during the trial's 6-month follow-up period. Although the disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the same region of the eye as macular edema, they are not the same condition and AMD is not studied in this research trial.

To evaluate the relative efficacy of three commonly utilized regional corticosteroids for the regional treatment of uveitic macular edema: periocular triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal dexamethasone implant. The primary efficacy measure will be percent change in central subfield thickness as measured by OCT at 8 weeks. Participants will continue in the study for 24 weeks in order to evaluate relative effects of the 3 treatment strategies on the duration of treatment effects, requirement for additional injections, and adverse effects. Note: The planned sample size for the POINT Trial was 267 subjects. On 17 July 2017, with 192 subjects enrolled, the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) reviewed the planned interim analysis and recommended that the goals of the trial could be accomplished by completing follow-up of enrolled subjects without the recruitment of additional subjects. Per the DSMC recommendations, recruitment was suspended and follow-up of enrolled subjects was completed according to the protocol.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ocular iontophoresis with dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution EGP-437 using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System (EGDS) compared to prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (1%) in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.

Glaucoma, a progressive optic disc neuropathy causing visual field reduction, is the second leading cause of world blindness. The treatment of glaucoma is mainly based in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) with topical medications. Many patients required two or more medications to achieve a target IOP. Combinations of B-blockers and prostaglandin analogs (PGA) are frequently used in clinical practice because their additive effect in lowering IOP levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fixed combinations of timolol maleate and PGA on the blood-aqueous barrier and evaluate the measurement of foveal thickness in pseudophakic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an FAI insert for the management of subjects with non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex, Allergan) is effective to manage macular edema secondary to non-infectious uveitis.

In the First-line Antimetabolites as Steroid-sparing Treatment (FAST) Uveitis Trial, the investigators propose to establish which immunosuppressive therapy, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil, is more effective as a first-line, corticosteroid-sparing agent for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis in a block-randomized, observer-masked, comparative effectiveness trial.

Treatment with ACTHAR Gel will result in a reduction of ocular inflammation in patients with active ocular sarcoidosis that requires systemic immunosuppressant therapy (hypothesis)

Primary objective: safety and tolerability Secondary objectives: additional indicators of long term safety and indicators of clinical activity Exploratory objectives: to characterize EYS606 biodistribution, immunogenicity and biomarkers

This trial is a 12 month, Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, single-masked (subject), controlled study designed to evaluate the utilization and safety of the Mk II inserter and the safety of the FAI insert, in subjects with non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye.
