InnFocus MicroShunt Versus Trabeculectomy Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Registration Number
NCT01881425
Lead Sponsor
InnFocus Inc.
Brief Summary

Assess the safety and effectiveness of the InnFocus MicroShunt when used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma where the IOP is not controlled when using maximum tolerated glaucoma medications.

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, study. After informed consent is obtained, patients will be evaluated for eligibility based on glaucoma severity, eye health, and visual acuity.

Clinical follow up will be scheduled over the course of the 24 month study, and examinations will be repeated to monitor eye health. At the 1 and 2 year follow up, diurnal (IOP taken in the morning, mid-day, and afternoon in the same day) IOP evaluation will be done. Annual follow up will occur up to 2 years. The primary effectiveness endpoint is 20% or greater reduction in IOP from pre-op medicated IOP at 12 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With > 20% Decrease in Mean Diurnal Intraocular Pressure12 months

The primary effectiveness outcome is ≥ 20% reduction in mean diurnal IOP without increasing number of glaucoma medications from baseline to 12 months follow-up

Number of Participants With > 20% Decrease in Diurnal Intraocular Pressure24 months

The primary effectiveness outcome is ≥ 20% reduction in mean diurnal IOP without increasing number of glaucoma medications from baseline to 24 months follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Change24 months

Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint #1 is the mean diurnal change in IOP from Screening at 24 months

Number of Participants With Postoperative Interventions at 12 Months12 months

The Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint #2 was having any physical or medical postoperative intervention (other than eye massage) intended to alter IOP by the Month 12 follow-up visit.

Participants With Postoperative Interventions at 24 Months24 months

The Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint #2 was having any physical or medical postoperative intervention (other than eye massage) intended to alter IOP by the Month 24 follow-up visit.
