Trabeculectomy is routinely used as a surgical treatment for open angle glaucoma. Success of trabeculectomy is greatly augmented by the use of antimetabolites to inhibit wound healing, specifically Mitomycin C (MMC). MMC can be applied to the eye at various sites, concentrations and times. This study aims to compare the two application routes that are commonly employed: subconjunctival pre-operative injection and intraoperative direct scleral application in terms of IOP lowering effect, bleb appearance and complications.
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is an eye disease that causes optic nerve damage, visual field defect, and blindness caused by increased intraocular pressure. In recent years, many studies have shown that ginkgo biloba extract has a protective effect on the visual function of glaucoma patients. Studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba capsules can improve the visual field damage of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure;Ginkgo biloba capsule can promote the recovery of visual evoked potential of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure; the improvement of visual field has a certain correlation with visual electrophysiological recovery. The mechanism may be achieved by suppressing the influx of calcium ions and thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of cells. Therefore, in this clinical study, effect of Ginkgo biloba capsule on visual function of primary open-angle glaucoma with blood stasis syndrome was evaluated by placebo as control.
This prospective, concurrent controlled, open-label, multicenter study is designed to collect additional safety data through 5 years of follow-up for subjects randomized to either the treatment arm (PRESERFLO® MicroShunt with MMC) or the control arm (Trabeculectomy with MMC) of the INN-005 clinical study.
Traditional ciliary body photocoagulation treatment uses the photocoagulation of long-wavelength laser to destroy the ciliary body tissue that can produce aqueous humor. Therefore, it is a kind of palliative treatment which has proved efficacy but causes great pain to patients. The "ultrasonic glaucoma treatment instrument" produced by French EYE TECH CARE company is referred to as EyeOP1. It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound technique to make target part of the ciliary coagulative necrosis, reduce the production of aqueous humor and thereby lower the intraocular pressure. EyeOP1 is ergonomic and suitable for the human eye, making the treatment process more accurate, simple and fast.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of lowering intraocular pressure and safety profile of the Paul Glaucoma Implant (Advanced Ophthalmic Innovations, Singapore). This is a non-comparative and single-arm observational study and all the participants were recruited between 1 Dec 2017 and 1 Dec 2018. Patients between age 21 - 80 years with glaucoma and an IOP deemed poorly controlled by the study team despite on maximal tolerated medical therapy were included in this study. The participants were recruited from 6 tertiary ophthalmology centers including National University Hospital, Singapore, Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom, St Thomas' Hospital, United Kingdom, Chulalongkorn University and Hospital, Thailand, International Specialist Eye Centre, Malaysia and Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. All the eyes were followed-up for a period of 12 months after surgery. The examination and investigations included best corrected Snellen visual acuity, slit lamp examination, goldman applanation tonometry (GAT), dilated fundus examination and optic nerve head imaging. The participants are reviewed before surgery, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, three months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery. All the data were captured in a standardized data-collection form for analysis. The primary outcome measure was failure, if was prospectively defined as IOP more than 21mmHg or less than a 20% reduction compared to pre-operative baseline on 2 consecutive visits after 3 months, IOP less than 6 mmHg on 2 consecutive visits after 3 months, reoperation for IOP-related indication, loss of light perception vision, or removal of the implant for any reason. Intraocular pressure outcomes, number of IOP-lowering medications and the rate of surgical complications were secondary outcome measures in this study.
Laser endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) has been in use for the treatment of glaucoma for over 20 years and is usually used in conjunction with cataract surgery. In the US it is one of the most commonly performed cataract 'plus' surgeries. The take-up of ECP laser has been much lower in the UK and Europe. This is partly due to the lack of robust clinical evidence from randomised controlled trials to justify its use in routine practice. More recently the advent of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery techniques (MIGS) has increased the options available for cataract 'plus' surgery. Without any randomised controlled trial data for the use of ECP laser in this context the increasingly popular use of MIGS devices, such as iStent (the current market leader) may further marginalise the use of ECP laser for cataract 'plus' surgery in patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and visually significant cataract. To further evaluate the use of ECP laser for the treatment of glaucoma in patients with glaucoma and cataract, investigators plan to conduct a randomised controlled trial comparing cataract surgery alone versus cataract surgery plus ECP laser surgery. Investigators will compare the efficacy of these interventions for the treatment of glaucoma based on clinical outcomes and also undertake a cost-benefit analysis, taking into account the cost of surgery, any reduction in clinical time allocation for procedures, the frequency of intra- and post-operative complications, and any reduction in the need for topical glaucoma treatments post-surgery, as well as the frequency with which further glaucoma filtering surgery is needed for patients in each group. Investigators anticipate that a total number of 160 patients (80 in each arm) will be adequate to detect whether there is any difference in efficacy between cataract surgery + ECP versus cataract surgery alone. Recruitment is expected to take around 9-12 months. Participants will undergo treatment wash-out (28 days minimum) of any eye drops they use for their glaucoma prior to data collection at baseline (before surgery) and prior to data collection at one-year and at two-years post-surgery. Results will be reviewed during an interim analysis at 6 months once 50 patients have reached that time point.
This study will evaluate the 24-hour intraocular pressure lowering effect and safety after a single administration of Bimatoprost SR in patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension
The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution (eye drops) administered for 7 days in adults. The study is a double-masked, multiple- ascending dose trial and will enroll four cohorts of up to 12 subjects. Dose cohorts will receive increasing doses of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution or vehicle-matched placebo daily for 7 days. Cohort 5 will enroll subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who will continue current prostaglandin therapy during the study. Cohort 5 subjects will receive the maximum tolerated dose from the previous cohorts.
