Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are a common and serious complication of osteoporosis, particularly among elderly and postmenopausal patients. OVCFs may result in severe pain, functional impairment, spinal deformity, and reduced quality of life. Conventional conservative treatments, including bed rest, analgesics, and bracing, may provide limited symptom relief. Minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures, such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, have been widely used to improve clinical outcomes; however, risks including bone cement leakage and incomplete vertebral restoration remain concerns. The Vessel-X® Bone Filling Container System, manufactured by Central Medical Technologies Inc. (CMT), is a third-generation vesselplasty technology designed for percutaneous vertebral augmentation procedures. The system utilizes an implantable biocompatible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container with a microporous structure for controlled bone cement delivery. The implant remains within the vertebral body after cement injection and is designed to reduce cement leakage while maintaining vertebral height restoration and pain relief. This post-market clinical study evaluates the safety and clinical effectiveness of the Vessel-X® Bone Filling Container System at two medical centers in Taiwan with a total target enrollment of 146 subjects: Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH): 86 subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental and control groups. Taoyuan General Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare (TYGH): 60 subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental and control groups. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the device by assessing the incidence of unanticipated serious adverse device effects (USADEs). Secondary objectives include evaluation of pain reduction measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional recovery assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and radiographic outcomes including vertebral height restoration and kyphotic deformity correction.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Masked, Active-Controlled Trial in Adults with Macular Neovascularization Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration
NCT07587515
This Phase 1b/2a study will primarily investigate the safety and tolerability of EYC-0305 delivered by intravitreal (IVT) injection every 24 weeks in patients with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of EYC-0305, and the effect on disease activity and vision will also be evaluated.
NCT07027306
This is an international multicenter prospective observational study. Patients with radiologically confirmed, symptomatic, single- or multilevel contiguous TL (from T1 to L5) fractures as a result of primary osteoporosis will be recruited from participating clinics/hospitals (ie, study sites). Fractures included are insufficiency fractures (confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) and traumatic fractures (low-energy trauma, confirmed by computed tomography \[CT\] or MRI).
NCT07567898
The purpose of this research study is to test whether a personalised care approach improves adherence compared to standard care. Many patients with macular diseases like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema need regular eye injections to protect their vision. However, some do not adhere to their treatment appointments, risking further vision loss. You were selected as a possible participant in this research study because you have been diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macula edema (DME) requiring intravitreal injection treatment (IVT). This research study targets to recruit 200 participants from the Singapore National Eye Centre. This study comprises two cohort groups: Cohort 1(Suboptimal CAT scores/ Randomized Control trial) and Cohort 2 (Optimal CAT scores/Observation). If you agree to take part in this study, the research coordinator will obtain your written consent before proceeding with the study procedures. You will be required to complete CAT assessment (via remote or administered in clinic) and assigned to cohort 1 or cohort 2 based on CAT scores result. If you are assigned to cohort 1, you will be randomly allocated to either the personalized multi-disciplinary protocolized intervention (MPI) or standard care group. Randomization means assigning you to one of two groups by chance, like tossing a coin or rolling a dice. * MPI group: You will complete a specialized computerized adaptive testing (CAT) quality of life questionnaire. Based on the domain specific scores, you will receive a medical consultation and a referral to nurse educators, optometrists, occupational therapists, or social workers. * Standard care group: If you are allocated to this group, you will receive standard care, where doctors make treatment decisions without using the CAT results. If you are assigned to cohort 2, you will be placed under prospective observation and undergo routine clinical care.
NCT07392255
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CTx001, administered via a single subretinal injection, for GA (secondary to AMD).

NCT06795048
This study is a Phase IIIb/IV, multicenter, randomized, two-arm, open-label 100-week study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and durability of intravitreal 6-mg faricimab administered at up to 24-week intervals in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) that are treatment-naïve in the study eye.
NCT05407636
ABBV-RGX-314 (also known as RGX-314 and surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec)) is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. Wet AMD is a significant cause of vision loss in the United States, Europe and Japan, with up to 2 million people living with wet AMD in these geographies alone. Current anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies have significantly changed the landscape for treatment of wet AMD, becoming the standard of care due to their ability to prevent progression of vision loss in the majority of patients. These therapies, however, require life-long intraocular injections, typically repeated every four to 12 weeks in frequency, to maintain efficacy. Due to the burden of treatment, patients often experience a decline in vision with reduced frequency of treatment over time. ABBV-RGX-314 is being developed as a potential one-time treatment for wet AMD.

NCT07520318
Oculgen has begun a study of an investigational drug called OCUL101 as a possible treatment for neovascular AMD. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by regulatory agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States (US), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the European Union (EU), or others. A comparator drug, Eylea® (aflibercept), will also be used in this study. Aflibercept is approved by regulatory agencies to treat neovascular AMD. VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor A) is a protein released by the body in response to certain conditions that encourages the eye to form new blood vessels that are weak and leaky. This can lead to leakage of fluid and swelling in the macula; the part of the eye that helps you see clearly. C5 (component 5) is a part of the immune system released when there is ongoing damage to the eye such as when you have neovascular AMD. When it becomes too active in the eye, it can cause inflammation and further damage, leading to thinning of the back of the eye, a condition called geographic atrophy (GA). OCUL101 works by blocking both VEGF-A and C5. The main purpose of this study is to see how safe and tolerable OCUL101 is and how well OCUL101 works in participants when compared with aflibercept. From here on, OCUL101 and aflibercept will be referred to as the "study drug." This study is divided into 2 periods: a screening period and a study treatment period. During each study period, you will have 1 or more visits with your study doctor at the center. The screening visit will last about 3 hours, and all other visits will last about 3 to 6 hours. This study has 2 Parts. Part A uses the 10.4 mg dose of OCUL101 and Part B uses 2 doses of OCUL101 (6.5 mg and 10.4 mg) to compare with 2 mg of aflibercept. Before any study-related tests and procedures can be done, you will be asked to read and sign this informed consent form, and then the study will begin with a screening visit. The purpose of the screening visit is to decide whether or not you meet the requirements to take part in this study. If you do not meet the requirements, the study doctor will explain why and will discuss other treatment options with you. If the study doctor decides that you meet all of the requirements to be in this study, you will be assigned to either Part A or randomly assigned (like drawing straws) to one of the groups in Part B. You will then receive one of the following study treatment plans: * Part A, 10.4 mg of OCUL101 * Part B, Group 1, 6.5 mg of OCUL101 + as needed study treatments of 10.4 mg OCUL101 * Part B, Group 2, 10.4 mg of OCUL101 * Part B, Group 3, 10.4 mg of OCUL101 * Part B, Group 4, 2 mg of aflibercept You will receive 3 injections between Day 1 and Week 8, after which you may or may not receive additional injections every 8 weeks until Week 36. After you receive the set number of injections for your Part/group, you may receive additional injections during the study if the study doctor thinks it will help you. You will have an 80% (4 in 5) chance of receiving OCUL101 and a 20% (1 in 5) chance of receiving aflibercept. This is a double-masked study, which means you and some of the people involved in the study will not be told if you are receiving OCUL101 or aflibercept. However, this information will be given to the study doctor if it becomes necessary for your safety. The eye receiving the study drug is called "the study eye". If the other eye, called the "fellow eye", needs treatment with anti-VEGF therapy, you can discuss this with your study doctor. This treatment may be provided during your study visit, if appropriate. Description of the procedures and assessments * Medical history: Includes questions about any diseases, chronic or ongoing conditions, surgeries, cancer history, reproductive status, and smoking history. Any information about current or previous medicines will also be recorded. * Demographics: Information to be collected includes age, sex, and race/ethnicity. * Physical examination: Physical examination of the chest, abdomen, head and neck, and musculoskeletal system will be done as per your study doctor's preferred methods. * Eye examinations: Throughout the study you will have several eye tests. Both the front and back of your eye will be examined and some of these eye exams may occur in both eyes. Eye drops may be used to make your pupils (center part of your eye) look larger (dilated) and easier to look through. * BCVA: You will sit in front of an eye chart to read the letters and test the sharpness and accuracy of your vision. * Contrast sensitivity: You will sit in front of an eye chart read the letters where the letters are lighter and darker shades. * Color Vision Testing: Your vision will be tested to see how well you see color by having you look at color vision charts. * Assessment of metamorphopsia: Metamorphopsia is when you see lines as wavy or bent instead of straight.
NCT05637255
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and effect on visual acuity of three different doses of SYL1801 eye drops.
NCT07308639
The main goal of this study is to find out how common certain eye diseases are in Germany and how they have changed over time. The diseases being studied are: nAMD (neovascular age-related macular degeneration): a condition that affects the central part of the retina and can cause vision loss in older adults. DME (diabetic macular edema): a swelling in the central part of the retina caused by diabetes, which can also lead to vision problems. RVO (retinal vein occlusion): a blockage of the veins in the retina, which can cause sudden vision loss. Researchers will look at data collected from 2009 to 2024 to see how often these diseases occur (incidence) and how many people have them at a given time (prevalence). They will use two large sets of health data from Germany, called FDZ and FDGP. The main question is: How do the numbers of new and existing cases of nAMD, DME, and RVO compare between the two data sources (FDZ and FDGP) in Germany from 2009 to 2024? The study also wants to find out if factors like age, other health problems, and medications affect how common these eye diseases are. Another goal is to see how many people with these eye diseases are treated with a type of medicine called anti-VEGF, which is used to slow down or stop vision loss. In summary, this study will help us understand how these eye diseases affect people in Germany, how they are treated, and whether different groups of people are more likely to get them.

NCT07516132
Study to Evaluate Long-Term Safety of Intravitreal OTX-TKI (Axitinib Implant) in Participants with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Who Successfully Completed 2-Year OTX-TKI-2023-AMD-301 or OTX-TKI-2023-AMD-303 Study
NCT07506538
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a smart community-based resistance training program in older adults aged 60 and older with primary osteoporosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the 32-week smart resistance training improve lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD)? Does the training improve lower extremity physical function? Researchers will compare the smart resistance training group with a routine health education control group to see if the resistance training effectively improves bone health and physical capabilities. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the resistance training group or the health education group. If in the training group: Wear a smart health bracelet and complete 40 to 60 minutes of elastic band resistance training 3 times a week for 32 weeks, with guidance from smart devices and community staff. If in the health education group: Maintain usual daily activities and attend a monthly group health education lecture on osteoporosis. Complete clinical assessments, including bone density scans (DXA), physical performance tests, and questionnaires at the start, at 16 weeks, and at 32 weeks. Enter a 12-month observational follow-up phase after the 32-week intervention to evaluate the long-term sustainability of the outcomes.
NCT07512453
Osteoporosis (OP) and fragility fractures are a significant problem that leads to morbidity, mortality, and high costs for the National Health System. The treatment of fragility fractures includes numerous anti-resorptive and anabolic drugs, and its goal is the secondary prevention of new fractures. It is well known that the risk of a new fracture following a fracture event is highest in the months immediately following the first fracture. However, recent data clearly show a dramatic global delay in the administration of anti-osteoporotic therapy following a fragility fracture. It has been estimated that in Italy, 71% of patients with fragility fractures eligible for anti-fracture treatment did not receive timely treatment (a problem defined as a "treatment gap"), and that in 2034, the incidence of new fragility fractures will increase compared to 2019 \[1\]. However, there is a lack of real-life Italian data on the extent of the treatment gap in osteoporotic patients with fragility fractures and its impact in terms of the incidence of subsequent fragility fractures: this study therefore aims to fill this gap by collecting data from a large population of patients attending several centers throughout the country.
