NCT07054281
This purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two eye surgery systems-UNITY VCS and CONSTELLATION-in treating adults with vitreoretinal diseases or disorders.
NCT05331664
To demonstrate that intraoperative use of subtenon triamcinolone acetonide at the time of surgery without postoperative eye drops is non-inferior to the regimen of postoperative eye drops following primary pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment.
NCT06610786
The objective of the study is to evaluate: 1. Safety and efficacy of a novel foldable capsular scleral buckle (FCSB) in scleral buckling for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of medium complexity. 2. Comparison between FCSB and pars plana vitrectomy in therapeutic effects and complications in the treatment of primary RRD of medium complexity.

I. Title Prevention of ProliFerative Vitreoretinopathy with Intravitreal MethotreXate in Primary Retinal DEtachment Repair (FIXER) Trial * Today's Date: September 18, 2023 II. Principal Investigator * Principal Investigator: Christopher D. Riemann, M.D. (Cincinnati Eye Institute) * Email: criemann@cvphealth.com, Phone: 513-708-1979 V. Research Summary Purpose: To evaluate methotrexate for the prevention of PVR after primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. Methods: Inclusion Criteria: • Any adult patient, age ≥18 years-old, undergoing primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery with pars plana vitrectomy at the Cincinnati Eye Institute in Blue Ash, Ohio who is able to give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \<18 years old * Pregnant patients or patients of child bearing potential unwilling to utilize long term contraception for the 12-week period spanning vitrectomy surgery for retinal detachment repair up until the 3 month postoperative visit. * History of endophthalmitis, ruptured globe or significant trauma in the affected eye * Chronic retinal detachment (symptoms greater than or equal to six weeks) * Any previous previous retinal detachment repair with pars plana vitrectomy, or scleral buckling surgery. Patients having undergone previous pneumatic retinopexy will not be excluded. * Presence of Grade C PVR: full thickness retinal folds or subretinal bands * Patients with contraindications to methotrexate, including breastfeeding, pregnancy, attempting to conceive a child or any known hypersensitivity or intolerance to methotrexate * Patients with diminished mental capacity precluding their ability to give informed consent. Study Design and Randomization This prospective double masked trial will randomize patients into four groups in a 1:1:1:1 fashion. All attending surgeons and patients will be masked to group randomization. Randomization into four groups will occur on the day of surgery by the Cincinnati Eye Institute's pharmacist, Deepali Chachare. Group A will consist of ≥ 150 patients receiving intraoperative infusion with balanced salt solution containing methotrexate (40mg/500mL BSS), and methotrexate intravitreal injections (400mcg/0.05mL) at postoperative weeks 1, 3, 6, and 10. Group B will consist of ≥ 150 patients receiving intraoperative balanced salt solution infusion containing methotrexate, and sham intravitreal injections at postoperative weeks 1, 3, 6, and 10. Group C will consist of ≥ 150 patients receiving a balanced salt solution infusion without methotrexate, and methotrexate injections at postoperative weeks 1, 3, 6, and 10. Group D will consist of ≥ 150 patients receiving intraoperative balanced salt solution infusion without methotrexate, and sham intravitreal injections at postoperative weeks 1, 3, 6, and 10.
NCT05588037
Based on the progress of cataract surgery, intraocular lens development, vitreoretinal surgery and anesthesia technology in recent years, the purpose of this study is to develop a new type of more accurate and minimally invasive combined surgery for cataract and fundus diseases, and to evaluate the advantages and value of the surgery as well as related complications, so as to minimize the surgical trauma and obtain faster visual function recovery and better patient comfort. To provide new solutions for the growing demand of eye health care.
NCT02834559
This study investigates the effectiveness of a simple treatment to prevent proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Intraoperative intravitreal 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used as a prophylactic therapy in high-risk patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Our major motivation is to reduce the incidence of PVR in the group that receives the trial drug.
NCT04520789
Study of initiating proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)cell subtype (PVR initiating cells (PVR-IC) in RPE cells of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients; to prove the percentage of PVR-IC decides the risk of serious PVR occurring after surgery; to investigate the safety and efficacy of early local steroids drug intervention in patients with severe postoperative PVR.
NCT00370201
This clinical trial will test the efficacy and safety of oral colchicine in prevention of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
