Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) in patients treated with one of the following two surgeries: (1) cataract surgery with preservation of the diseased endothelial cells ("cataract surgery only experimental intervention, investigational therapy/ arm 1); (2) cataract surgery combined with removal of the diseased endothelial cells and the attached Descemet's membrane followed by transplantation of a healthy endothelial cell layer with attached Descemet's membrane ("triple-DMEK"(""cataract surgery only", control intervention comparator therapy/ arm 2)


Clinical Trial Description

After signing the informed consent, patients are screened for eligibility for the trial regarding in- and exclusion criteria. Different tests will be performed like ocular examination including slit lamp examination, fundus examination, IOP measurement, BSCVA, Pentacam imaging, contrast sensivity test and Macula-OCT, vital signs. Once all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are met, the patient will be enrolled into the trial and will receive a subject-ID. If Screening and Baseline assessments cannot be performed on the same day, a Baseline Visit can take place up to 7 days after enrolment of the subject into the clinical trial. At the Baseline Visit different tests will be performed like a Fluorescein stain test. In addition, subjects have to complete vision related quality of life questionnaires. After all investigations are completed, the subject will be randomised and distributed to the respective treatment groups. Patients who are enroled in arm 1 undergo exclusively a cataract surgery, in the comparator therapy (arm 2) patients undergo triple-DMEK (cataract surgery and DMEK) The post-operative Visit will take place 22 weeks ± 14 days after the surgical intervention where different test have to be performed. The duration of the clinical trial for every individual subject will be up to 24 weeks. ;
