Post-Approval Study of the Implantable Miniature Telescope
- Conditions
- AMD
- Interventions
- Device: Implantable Miniature Telescope
- Registration Number
- NCT01757132
- Lead Sponsor
- VisionCare, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The objective of the PAS-01 study is to assess the safety of the intraocular as measured by the cumulative incidence of patients who within 5 years after implantation experience persistent vision-impairing corneal edema (corneal edema leading to persistent loss of best corrected distance visual acuity \>2 lines from pre-surgery baseline level).
The study will test the null hypothesis that the percentage of patients who experience persistent vision-impairing corneal edema is \>17% against the alternative that the percentage is \<17%. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence integral for the observed percentage is \<17%.
- Detailed Description
ECD sub-study. At investigative sites participating in the ECD Sub-Group study, corneal endothelial cell density will be measured by non-contact specular microscopy in a subgroup of 150 patients enrolled in the IMT-PAS-01 in the eye schedule for and implanted with the intraocular telescope at study entry, 3 months, 12, months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months.
