Active clinical trials for "Glaucoma"

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the IOP (intraocular pressure) -lowering effect of DE-111A (preservative-free fixed dose combination of 0.0015% tafluprost and 0.5% timolol eye drops, administered one drop a time, once daily for 3 months) is superior to the monotherapy of tafluprost 0.0015% eye drops administered one drop a time, once daily for 3 months) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in China as well as comparison of safety.

Therapeutic indication: Ocular hypotensive Use: Primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the preservative-free formulation PRO-122 manufactured by Sophia Laboratories, S.A. of C.V. on the ocular surface of clinically healthy subjects. Hypothesis: The ophthalmic solution PRO-122 presents a profile of safety and tolerability similar to Krytantek Ofteno®, in healthy subjects. Methodology: Phase I clinical trial, controlled, parallel group, double blind, randomized. Number of patients: n=24 12 subjects per group (both eyes). Main inclusion criteria:Clinically healthy subjects.

The Kahook Dual Blade is a single-use device specially designed to create a clean cut in the trabecular meshwork. This ablation in the trabecular meshwork allows a better outflow of the aqueous humor, thus reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP), theoretically beyond the IOP reduction achieved by other minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices. Studies already published showed good results in terms of the reduction of the number of glaucoma medications and the reduction in the IOP, but not a single study has been performed prospectively comparing the efficacy of the technique, not even with the cataract surgery.

The present study predicts that acupuncture or electroacupuncture can reduce intraocular pressure and also can improve quality of life in patients with glaucoma.

Background: One of the most difficult refractory glaucomas in treatment is the neovascular type and its association with dense cataract add to this difficulty. This study aimed to provide results of triple surgical treatment of such conditions. Methods: A total of 12 eyes of 12 patients with dense cataractus NVG patients were included in this study. The patients mean age was 57.25 ± 5.9 years. The mean pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 47.25 ± 4.04 mmHg with maximum antiglaucoma therapy. The mean best corrected distant visual acuities (BCDVA) in log MAR was 2.13 ± 0.38. All the patients received intra-vitreal injection of 1.25 mg (0.05 ml) bevacizumab followed by phacoemulsification, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) including pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), and assisted trabeculectomy with Mitomycin c (MMC). Mean IOP and BCDVA changes were the main outcome results of this study.

To test the safety and effectiveness of AR-13324 0.02% and 0.04% ophthalmic solution relative to placebo in Japanese/Japanese-American subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in US.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MINIject 636 and IOP lowering effects with or without glaucoma medications. The procedure will be a stand-alone surgery. Overall, the patient will be asked to perform several examinations up to 24 months after surgery. The primary efficacy objective of the present study is to show the IOP reduction under medication 6 months after surgery compared to medicated diurnal IOP at screening.

The study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical administration of PDP-716 compared with brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution.

There are several publications that have demonstrated the protective role of cataract surgery against the development of long-term glaucoma, especially in cases of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXFG). Cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) is a procedure with higher rates of complications due to its smaller pupillary diameter and its greater zonular weakness, so lens extraction performed earlier could possibly reduce intra and postoperative complications. Given the severity and high prevalence of PXFG in our environment, investigators proposed a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of cataract surgery in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) at 12 months and thereby change the course of the disease. The control group will have glaucoma treatment according to standard practice.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel form of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation using micropulse diode laser and trans-pars plana treatment (Micropulse TSCPC, mTSCPC MP3, IRIDEX CYCLO G6™ Glaucoma Laser System, CA, USA) in adults for the treatment of uncontrolled glaucoma.
