At Retina Associates of Southern California, we are dedicated to being at the forefront of newly developed treatment plans and medications for various conditions involving the retina. Over the past 14 years, Dr. Hani Salehi-Had has participated in more than 30 clinical trials for a variety of retina conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, tractional retinal detachment, exudative and non-exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, vitreomacular hole and vitreomacular traction. Our dedicated team of clinical research professionals has allowed our patients to gain access to promising new therapeutics that are not yet available to the general public.

Prior trials closed for enrollment:

  • DRCR network Protocol AJ: The proteomics of vitreous samples from eyes with full-thickness macular holes undergoing vitrectomy and from control eyes undergoing vitrectomy (eyes with no retinal disease) with vitreous opacities causing floaters or dislocated intraocular lens will be analyzed in two phases: the discovery phase will determine which proteins are up- and down-regulated, and the validation phase will target the most promising proteins found in the discovery phase.
