Active clinical trials for "Wet Macular Degeneration"

The purpose of this study is to compare brolucizumab (RTH258) ophthalmic solution for intravitreal (IVT) injection at two dosage levels (3 mg and 6 mg) to aflibercept ophthalmic solution for IVT injection (2 mg) in subjects with untreated active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye.

This study will recruit patients who have recently had a submacular haemorrhage (bleed under the part of the retina responsible for detailed vision), as a complication of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is a very common disease where abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and leak, causing a significant reduction in vision. The study will investigate treatment of the bleed with various combinations of the two drugs: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - designed to dissolve the blood clot; and perfluoropropane (C3F8) - designed to shift the blood clot away from the central part of the retina (the macula). tPA is a commonly used 'clot-buster' drug for the treatment of stroke. C3F8 is a gas commonly used in eye surgery. Patients recruited will be divided into four groups: control group that receive none of the above drugs; one group that receives only tPA; one group that receives only C3F8; and one group that receives both. All patients will receive the current gold standard treatment for wet AMD, ranibizumab (Lucentis®). The aim of the study is to improve vision in a condition, which left untreated, would cause severe visual loss.

The primary purpose of this study was to demonstrate a biological effect of AL-78898A, as measured by change (reduction) in central subfield (CSF) retinal thickness 4 weeks after a single intravitreal injection, as compared to LUCENTIS.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that proton beam irradiation combined with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy is safe and potentially more effective than intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy alone in eyes with exudative age-related macular degeneration.

This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of multiple intravitreal injection of KH902 in patients with CNV due to AMD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of combining juxtasclerally administered anecortave acetate 15 mg with triamcinolone acetate 4 mg administered intravitreally following photodynamic therapy with verteporfin for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is characterized by the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Choroidal neovascularization consists of abnormal blood vessels originating from the choroid and can lead to hemorrhage, fluid exudation, and fibrosis, resulting in photoreceptor damage and vision loss. The safety and efficacy of brolucizumab has been demonstrated in 2 randomized, multicenter, double-masked, active controlled Phase 3 studies in nAMD patients (RTH258-C001 and RTH258-C002). Anatomical changes were evaluated in these studies using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), which relied on indirect parameters for the diagnosis of active CNV. The OCT-angiography (OCT A) that directly visualize retinal circulation and image CNV and vascular diseases of the retina was not included in previous brolcuizumab studies. This single-arm, open-label, multicenter study is being performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab 6 mg in patients with nAMD. OCT-A will be used in this study to assess the morphological response of patients to brolucizumab in terms of percentage change in CNV lesion area in the short term (i.e. at Week 12) and in the long term (i.e. at Week 48), as well as changes in other OCT-A features up to Week 48. Approximately 210 adult patients will be screened and included in centers in France. The maximum study duration for 1 patient is 48 weeks. Patients will be required to attend 6 mandatory study visits: Screening/Baseline Visit (Day 1), Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16 and Week 48 visits. The timing of the interim visits between Week 16 and Week 48 will depend on the patient's injection regimen, i.e. every 8 weeks or every 12 weeks according to disease activity assessed by the investigator.

Aqueous flare is increased in different kind of inflammations of eye. This is caused by disruption of blood-aqueous-barrier. The investigators assume that low grade systemic inflammation, such as periodontitis, increase aqueous flare and possibly activates exudative age-related macular degeneration.

The purpose of this extension study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the new formulation of brolucizumab 6 mg ophthalmic solution when given to the same patients who received brolucizumab in the core trial CRTH258A2301 (also known as CRTH258-C002). The medical condition treated in the core and extension trials was neo-vascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

To evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of repeated intravitreal administration of ALT-L9 2 mg/50uL compared with Eylea in patients with neovascular Age-related macular degeneration.
