12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of intravitreal faricimab or fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) intravitreal implant compared with observation on long-term visual acuity following treatment of choroidal melanoma with iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy.
Radiation retinopathy is a known complication of ocular radiation therapy. To date there is no known effective treatment. In addition to their anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) properties, corticosteroids decrease the retinal capillary permeability by increasing the activity/density of tight junctions and acute inflammatory effects of radiation in various tissues.
The ARRT trial will assess the safety and efficacy of 2mg aflibercept for the treatment of radiation retinopathy, including maculopathy and optic neuropathy over 52 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability and efficacy of ranibizumab treatment administered in subjects with radiation retinopathy
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of intravitreal aflibercept injection - in the treatment of macular edema associated with retinopathy secondary to previous radiation therapy.
This study investigates the use of a high dose anti-VEGF agent for the treatment of radiation retinopathy in those patients who have recalcitrant disease.
This is a Phase I clinical trial to test the safety and tolerability of intravitreal ranibizumab in the treatment of radiation retinopathy following plaque brachytherapy for patients with choroidal melanoma using the incidence and severity of events criteria. The secondary objective is to assess the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab on regression of radiation retinopathy by ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography, as well as visual acuity.
Radiation retinopathy is a disease of the retina. It occurs in people who have received or been exposed to radiation near the eyes. The blood vessels are abnormal and may grow which lead to scarring and a loss of central vision. Currently, the treatment for radiation retinopathy is laser photocoagulation. This treatment has been found to have limited use in this type of condition. Compassionate use of anecortave acetate injection is being considered to prevent the growth of the blood vessels under the retina.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily the anti-inflammatory and anti-neovascular effect of Episcleral Celecoxib in patients suffering from macular edema and other inflammatory disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
This phase I trial will assess primarily the safety and secondarily anti-inflammatory effect of Episcleral Dexamethasone in patients suffering from macular edema and other disorders of the retina, choroid and vitreous.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) and compare it with safety and efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab in eyes with macular edema after plaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma.
Uveal Melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adulthood. Eye preserving treatments can deliver equivalent life prognosis in the management of small and medium sized uveal melanomas, as compared to enucleation. Plaque radiotherapy has emerged as the most common eye-preserving treatment in the current management of uveal melanoma, but is complicated by visual loss in approximately 70% of patients at 10 years follow-up. Strategies for the prevention and early treatment of radiation retinopathy/maculopathy need to be developed to improve visual outcomes following plaque treatment. Ranibizumab (Lucentis) is the antigen binding fragment of a recombinant, humanized monoclonal antibody, which inhibits the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor A, a mediator in the development of choroidal neovascularization. Lucentis is commonly used in the eye for eye conditions such as age related macular degeneration. This study will investigate the possible benefit of Anti-VEGF therapy (Lucentis) in reducing the incidence of radiation complications following plaque radiation for uveal melanoma.
