Diabetic Macular Edema Clinical Trials

Study objective is to better understand the pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema (DME) by defining the factors that participate in the disease process or may be good biomarkers for disease progression. Study will investigate the temporal relationship between the course of treatment with anti-VEGF therapy and levels of candidate biomarkers ...

Within the province of Ontario, there are a limited number of retinal specialists for a large and geographically diverse population of 13.5 million people in 2012. Because the majority of these specialists are located in larger urban centers, many rural patients have difficulty travelling the significant distance from their communities ...

20 patients with and 20 patients without diabetic macular edema will be recruited for the study. Macular thickness measured with a stand-alone OCT and an intraoperative OCT will be assessed before and after phakoemulsification with intraocular lens Implantation.

Intravitreal Ozurdex implant therapy improves visual outcome and OCT findings. The purpose of this study is that these results are correlated with the change of cytokine level known to be increased in DME patients.

Thirty eyes of diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy with macular edema will be randomized using simple randomization method into two groups; A and B. Group A will undergo intravitreal injection of 500g Diclofenac, repeated monthly for 3 months. Electroretinogram will be performed before the injections, 4 weeks after first injection ...

Although multiple studies have clearly demonstrated that ranibizumab therapy is more effective than laser alone for vision gain and avoiding vision loss in patients with central-involved Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), only eyes with poor visual acuity, such as a visual acuity letter score of 78 or worse (approximate Snellen equivalent ...

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness in adults in the developed countries. The retinal damages associated with diabetes lead to gradual loss of vision, which is accentuated when the macula is affected. This results in macular edema. Currently, intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF have demonstrated their effectiveness and are the ...

Diabetic retinopathy patients who are at risk of developing macular edema (defined as 30 % increase from pre-operative baseline in central subfield macular thickness) within 90 days following cataract surgery. Diabetic patients are defined as those who have either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. The patients must have either ...

This study is an investigator initiated interventional study for subjects with diabetic macular edema that have been previously treated with bevacizumab or ranibizumab. Intravitreal aflibercept 2mg will be given until OCT (ocular coherence tomography) demonstrates an absence of fluid. Continued intravitreal aflibercept 2mg will then take place every 2 months ...

This study will evaluate the efficacy of Ozurdex as prescribed in clinical practice in France for the treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).
