EndoArt® Implantation in Subjects With Chronic Corneal Edema

Corneal Edema Clinical Trial

Official title: An Open-label Multicenter Phase 2 Clinical Safety Investigation of the EndoArt® Implantation in Subjects With Chronic Corneal Edema

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The EndoArt® is intended to be used as an endothelial prosthesis in patients with chronic corneal edema.The EndoArt® (Artificial Endothelial layer) is a permanent implant, constructed of a clear, transparent, foldable, biologically compatible copolymer of hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate. The peripheral surface of the EndoArt® has either one or more marks, to ensure the correct orientation of the implant. The device serves as a physical barrier blocking the influx of water from the AC of the eye into the cornea due to dysfunctional corneal endothelial layer. Together with evaporation from the anterior surface of the cornea it maintains corneal hydration and clarity.

The EndoArt® device is CE marked approved (approved for marketing by the European regulatory authority).

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, phase 2 clinical investigation assessing safety of EndoArt® implantation, in subjects with chronic corneal edema. Safety will be assessed by evaluating the rate of adverse events and adverse device effects throughout the study period. Exploratory efficacy endpoints will be assessed by measuring the change in corneal thickness from baseline, change in pain score from baseline and changes in visual acuity. Time to, and rate of, post-surgical rebubbling to facilitate adhesion of the device will be explored.

Subjects with chronic corneal edema that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be the study target population. The study will encompass a total of up to 80 subjects who will complete the Protocol follow-up schedule. For the Primary endpoint, the frequency and severity of device related adverse events, from patient entry through the 6-month follow-up period will be analyzed. Adverse events will be assessed on a continuous basis and will continue to be collected for 12 months.

This clinical investigation is conducted in up to 12 (twelve) clinical sites in Europe (Germany, France, and Netherlands), Mexico, India and Israel. Additional sites may be considered.

This clinical investigation has been designed to provide continuous clinical evidence for the EndoArt® as part of its clinical follow up program. ;
