The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of GT005 administered as a single subretinal injection in individuals with geographic atrophy secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who qualify, based on genetic testing.
The objective of the LIFE-BTK RCT is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ESPRIT BTK device (which is a bioresorbable polymeric scaffold with the everolimus drug and a bioresorbable polymeric coating mounted on a balloon dilatation catheter) compared to Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA), which is is a procedure that can open up a blocked…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
Stargardt macular degeneration isa genetic condition, which in mostcases causes vision loss early in lifeand leads to legal blindness. Thereis currently no FDA-approvedtreatment.This trial will evaluate the safetyand effects of ALK-001, a newpotential drug treatment, on theprogression of Stargardt disease.ALK-001 is a capsule administereddaily by mouth.This…
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
The abicipar is an injectable medication stored as a liquid in a single-use glass vial for delivery into the back of the eye. The active component is a protein drug that was made using bioengineering technology. It was designed to bind to and inactivate a protein called Vascular Endothelial GrowthFactor (VEGF) that plays an important role in causing AMD.…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of study drug CCX168 when it is given to patients who are receiving the standard therapy for a certain type of vasculitis called ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The study will also assess the effectiveness of the study drug, CCX168, in combination with the standard treatment of AAV. This…
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that damages the macula. The macula is the part of the eye that is responsible for central vision, which is needed to perform straight-ahead activities, such as reading, driving, or watching TV. This research is being conducted to learn about the safety and efficacy (how effectively the study drug works) of…
