A Post-Market Evaluation of LipiFlow Treatment in Cataract Surgery Practice

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cataracts
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Interventions
Device: LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System
Registration Number
NCT03708367
Lead Sponsor
Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a post-market, prospective, randomized, multi-center, bilateral, open-label, cross-over, comparative clinical study. Study group will undergo preoperative LipiFlow treatment and Control group will not receive preoperative LipiFlow treatment. Three months postoperatively, both groups will be evaluated for clinical outcomes and the Control group will receive LipiFlow treatment as the cross-over group. The Control group will be evaluated at 4 months postoperative for clinical outcomes.

Control GroupLipiFlow Thermal Pulsation SystemStudy subjects that meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to not receive the LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System treatment at a preoperative visit before bilaterally implanted with the commercially available Symfony Intraocular Lens. Control Group will receive LipiFlow treatment as cross-over group at 3 months postoperative visit.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Precision (Standard Deviation) of Preoperative Keratometric Measurements2-4 weeks after first Pre-operative visit

Biometry testing was done pre-operatively

Rate of Refractive PredictabilityDifference between Baseline visit and Postoperative visit at 10-14 weeks after cataract surgery on the second eye.

Percentage of eyes with achieved manifest refractive spherical equivalence (MRSE) within +/- 0.50 D and +/- 1.00 D.

Achieved MRSE for each eye is defined as postoperative MRSE minus targeted MRSE.

Rate of Bothersome Ocular Symptoms3 months postoperative

Patient-Reported Visual Symptom Questionnaire (PRVSQ) Rating Results at 3 months postoperative

Mean Monocular UCDVA (Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity)3 months Postoperative

Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity was measured for the Study and Control groups at the 3-month visit using the Clinical Trial Suite (M\&S Technologies) at 4.0 meters under photopic conditions (\~85 cd/m2).

Precision of Axial Length (AL) and Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD)2-4 weeks after first Pre-operative visit

Biometry testing was done pre-operatively

Mean Change in Total Meibomian Gland Score From Baseline to 1 Month PostoperativePreoperative Visit (Baseline) and Postoperative Visit between 30-60 days after cataract surgery on the second eye.

Total Meibomian Gland Score: Fifteen Meibomian Glands (five temporally, centrally and nasally) in the lower eye are assessed on a scale of 0 - 3 (0 - No secretion, 1 - Inspissated (toothpaste consistency), 2 - Colored/cloudy liquid secretion or 3 - Clear liquid oil secretion). The sum of all 15 glands constitute the total meibomian gland secretion score (range 0-45).
