Next Generation Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgery Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Vitreoretinal Disease With or Without Cataracts
Registration Number
NCT06165744
Lead Sponsor
Alcon Research
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain device-specific safety and performance clinical data to support marketability in Europe and to collect formal user feedback.

Detailed Description

Subjects will attend a screening visit (Day -30 to Day 0), a surgery visit (Day 0), and 4 post-surgical visits (Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, Month 3) for an overall individual duration of approximately 4 months. One eye (study eye) will be treated. This study will be conducted in Australia.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of 'Yes' Responses to the Binary Question: "Did UNITY VCS Using Vitreoretinal or Combined Surgical Functionality Perform Per the Intended Use as Defined in Protocol Section 5.1?"Day 0

As recorded by the surgeon on a user questionnaire based on Day 0 surgery experience. From Protocol Section 5.1, the intended use for UNITY VCS is to facilitate the management of fluid and gases, as well as removal, grasping, cutting, illumination, and coagulation of ocular materials during ocular surgery. One eye (study eye) contributed data to the analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Total Time in EyeDay 0 operative, up to surgery completion

The time from first entry into eye/first trocar in to incision closure/last trocar out was measured using a stopwatch and recorded in minutes. One eye (study eye) contributed data to the analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint.

Percent of 'Yes' Responses to the Binary Question, "Was Anatomical Success Achieved for Intended Treatment?"Month 3 Postoperative

As reported by the examiner at the Month 3 visit. Intended treatment included macular hole closure, retinal attachment, etc. as applicable for the patient's condition. One eye (study eye) contributed data to the analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint.

Mean Change in Monocular Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) From Preoperative to Month 3Preoperative (Day -30 to 0), Month 3 Postoperative

Visual acuity was assessed with refractive correction in place using a Snellen visual acuity chart. Results were converted to decimal VA, where 2.00 decimal equates to 20/16 Snellen (better than normal distance eyesight), 1.00 decimal equates to 20/20 Snellen (normal distance eyesight), and 0.1 decimal equates to 6/600 Snellen (worse than normal distance eyesight). A positive change value indicates an improvement. One eye (study eye) contributed data to the analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint.
