Searching for new markers in age-related eye diseases
This study looks for proteins in the blood and eye fluids that may help doctors better understand and monitor three common eye conditions: age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. If you have one of these conditions, or if you are a healthy control with no retinal disease, you may be able to help by giving a small sample of blood or fluid from your eye during a routine procedure.
Roma, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07249216Recruiting
Studying eye fluid to improve treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration
This study looks at whether certain proteins or molecules in the jelly-like fluid inside the eye can predict why some people with wet age-related macular degeneration do not respond well to standard anti-VEGF injections. By studying these signals, researchers hope to improve future treatment and better tailor care to individual patients.
SingaporeAges 50 years+ - NCT07695207RecruitingPhase 3
Testing SMZ1 with ranibizumab for wet macular degeneration
This trial tests a new medicine called SMZ1 combined with ranibizumab (a standard treatment) for people with wet macular degeneration. It may help improve vision by targeting the cause of the disease more effectively.
Seoul, SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT06031727RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CRISPR gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new CRISPR-based treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to stop vision loss by targeting the cause of abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye. This study is for people who have already tried anti-VEGF injections but might not be responding well enough.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–80 - NCT05481827Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Safety follow-up for GT005 in geographic eye damage
This study checks the long-term safety of GT005, a treatment you received in an earlier study, for geographic atrophy related to age-related macular degeneration. It mainly asks you to come to follow-up visits and confirm how you are doing over time.
Poway, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT06351670Recruiting
Monitoring early to moderate age-related macular degeneration with AI
This study uses artificial intelligence to track changes in the eyes of people with early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It aims to better understand how the disease progresses and may help doctors personalize care.
ViennaAges 55–99 - NCT06351657Recruiting
Monitoring macular degeneration with AI to detect progression
This trial uses artificial intelligence to track changes in the eyes of people with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has caused a specific type of damage (atrophy) in the retina. The goal is to see if AI can help detect when the disease gets worse, so doctors can personalize monitoring for each patient.
ViennaAges 55–99 - NCT03577041Recruiting
Cost study of eye injections for new macular degeneration
This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of three anti-VEGF eye injection treatments (bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept) for patients with newly diagnosed age-related macular degeneration affecting the center of vision. The research aims to understand which treatment option provides the best medical and financial value in France.
AmiensAges 18–70 - NCT04853251RecruitingPhase 4
Study of corneal cells after a ranibizumab eye implant
This trial checks how well corneal endothelial cells (cells that help keep the cornea clear) do in people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who are treated with a port-delivery implant that releases ranibizumab. It also helps doctors understand whether this method changes corneal health and stays safe while controlling the eye disease.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT06536062Recruiting
Cord blood and platelet plasma for dry macular degeneration
This trial tests if a treatment made from umbilical cord blood and platelet-rich plasma can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration. The treatment is given as an injection into the eye, and the goal is to see if it slows vision loss or improves sight.
Rome, RomeAges 65 years+ - NCT05706896Recruiting
Cord blood plasma injections for dry macular degeneration
This trial tests whether injections made from umbilical cord blood “platelet-rich plasma” can improve vision in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes. It targets older adults with specific vision levels and no major other eye or medical problems that could affect the results.
RomeAges 65 years+ - NCT07516132RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety study of axitinib implant for wet macular degeneration
