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.…
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.

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…
This study is for patients who have renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of kidney cancer) and are at a high risk of disease coming back (disease recurrence) following either nephrectomy (surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney) or metastasectomy (removal of cancerous growth that has spread away from your kidney). The purpose of this study is to…
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…
