Current BARA Clinical Trials

Ocriplasmin for Treatment for Symptomatic Vitreomacular Adhesion Including Macular Hole (OASIS)
OASIS Sponsor: ThromboGenics Year: 2011

A Phase II Evaluation of Topical NSAIDs in Eyes with Non-central Involved Diabetic Macular Edema
DRCR Protocol R Sponsor: DRCR Network Year: 2011
This study is being conducted to assess the effects of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) on macular retinal volume compared with placebo in eyes with non-central DME. This phase II trial may provide proof of concept evidence that topical NSAID treatment can have a beneficial effect on DME and possibly prevent increases in retinal volume or progression of non central-involved DME into the central subfield of the macula. Furthermore, it could determine the correlation between OCT and fundus photographic documentation of progression of DME into the central subfield in this clinical trial setting.
