Clinical Investigation of the Dextenza 0.4mg Intracanalicular Insert Delivery System Used in Cataract Surgery

Registration Number
NCT04687800
Lead Sponsor
Cathleen McCabe MD
Brief Summary

To monitor intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients after cataract surgery preformed in conjunction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to monitor glaucoma patients intraocular pressure (IOP) after cataract surgery performed in conjunction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. After qualifying for this study, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation of one of two arms. The purpose of this study is to determine if Dextenza (dexamethasone) 0.4mg intracanalicular insert delivery system, provides a decreased risk of elevated post-operative IOP vs. standard therapy controlled topical steroid Durezol (Difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05%
