Safety and Effectiveness of the Hydrus Microstent

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Open Angle Glaucoma
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
Pigmentary Glaucoma
Registration Number
NCT05198297
Lead Sponsor
Alcon Research
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Hydrus Microstent for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in pseudophakic patients with open-angle glaucoma for whom IOP is not sufficiently controlled on topical hypotensive medication and prior to incisional glaucoma surgery.

Detailed Description

Qualified subjects will undergo ocular hypotensive medication washout prior to implantation with the Hydrus Microstent. Following implantation on Day 0, subjects will attend 8 scheduled postoperative visits: Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, and Month 24.

A decision to terminate the study was made by the Sponsor arising from challenges with enrollment of the target study population, leading to suspension of enrollment and revision of the follow-up period to 12 months. The total duration of participation for each subject was approximately 13 months including the medication washout prior to implantation.

This study was initiated by Ivantis, Inc. Ivantis was acquired by Alcon Research, and Alcon assumed sponsorship of the study in November 2022.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects (Responders) with unmedicated DIOP greater than 6 mmHg and less than or equal to 21 mmHg with a reduction of greater than or equal to 20% from baseline and absence of secondary glaucoma surgery or loss of light perceptionBaseline, Month 12 postoperative

Intraocular pressure (IOP) will be measured using Goldmann tonometry. Three separate IOP measurements will be taken over an 8-hour period and averaged together to achieve mean diurnal intraocular pressure (DIOP). Baseline is defined as post ocular hypotensive medication washout and prior to Day 0, day of surgery. This is a co-primary endpoint. No hypothesis testing is prespecified.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change in Unmedicated DIOP From Baseline to Month 12 and Absence of Secondary Glaucoma Surgery or Loss of Light PerceptionBaseline, Month 12 postoperative

IOP will be measured using Goldmann Applanation tonometry. Three separate IOP measurements will be taken over an 8-hour period and averaged together to achieve mean DIOP. Baseline will be defined as post ocular hypotensive medication washout and prior to Day 0, day of surgery. A negative change value represents an improvement. This is a co-primary endpoint. No hypothesis testing is prespecified.
