Filter by:A prospective, open label study to assess the 24-hour intraocular pressure pattern recorded with SENSIMED Triggerfish® in patients with open angle glaucoma before and after deep sclerectomy with collagen implant
The emergence of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) has seen a variety of potential innovative surgical alternatives to help better control intraocular pressure (IOP). The OMNI™ Surgical System (Sight Sciences, Menlo Park, CA, USA) is a promising MIGS procedure. It combines two procedures known as trabeculotomy and viscodilation of Schlemm's canal in one hand held device without the need for additional incisions or extra instrumentation. The device recently received FDA approval in the United States for certain indications in ophthalmic surgery. To date, no study has examined the effect of standalone viscodilation and trabeculotomy on glaucoma drop burden and IOP.
In this Pilot explorative study, the investigators are going to estimate and compare the outcomes of three different delivery methods of MMC for Trabeculectomy: a subconjunctival injection of MMC 0.002% at the site of future Trabeculectomy two to four weeks before the surgery, a subconjunctival injection of MMC 0.01% intraoperatively and topical sponge applied MMC 0.02% intraoperatively (typical use) in patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma who did not have any filtering surgeries before. After obtaining informed consent from the patients, the patients are randomly divided into three groups via a block randomization method: Group A receives 0.1 mL MMC 0.002 % (0.1mL MMC 0.02mg/mL) subconjunctival injection preoperatively in superior conjunctiva at the site of future Trabeculectomy surgery. Group B receives 0.1mL MMC 0.01% subconjunctival injection intraoperatively at the site of Trabeculectomy and Group C receives conventional sponge delivery of MMC 0.02% intraoperatively. To avoid observer bias during postoperative evaluation of results, IOP staff obtaining measurements of IOP will be masked to the randomization allocation. All groups undergo conventional Trabeculectomy surgery (fornix-based) as scheduled, and the same routine follow up and post-op regimen will be scheduled for all three groups. Patients are routinely visited in the clinic at first day postoperatively, one week (+/-2 days), one month (+/-1 week), three months (+/-2 weeks), six months (+/-3 weeks) and finally at one year (+/-(4 weeks)). In each of these visits we will be assessing: Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, number and type of glaucoma medication, slit lamp examination of the anterior segment and fundus examination.
This is a randomized, parallel arm, multicenter, double-blind trial. Patients with POAG will be randomized 1:1 ratio to receive: - Prostaglandin analogue (PGA) monotherapy + CoQun® (Arm A) - Prostaglandin analogue (PGA) monotherapy + Vehicle (Arm B)
This study is a multi-armed protocol designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different combinations of nutritional supplements (study drug) (Glauco-Health and Glauco-Select) chosen for their potential to protect retinal ganglion cells against oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with open-angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Oxidative stress and retinal cellular dysfunction will be measured using a Retinal Metabolic Analyzer (RMA) in this randomized, single center, double masked study. Patients with glaucoma will be divided into three treatment arms randomized to receive either Glauco-Health, Glauco-Select, or placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Sight Sciences VISCO™360 Viscosurgical System in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult, pseudophakic subjects with open-angle glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the additive intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of Brinzolamide 1%/Brimonidine 0.2% (SIMBRINZA®) dosed twice daily (BID) when added to Travoprost 0.004%/Timolol 0.5% (DUOTRAV®) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
This is a prospective, open label study assessing the 24-hour IOP patterns using TF in patients undergoing anti-VEGF injection for the treatment of neovascular AMD (age related macular degeneration). The study will be proposed to patients with AMD and patients with AMD and concomitant open angle glaucoma (OAG). The study will be conducted in two stages. In both stages, patients will remain ambulatory and will be encouraged to follow a schedule as close to their usual lifestyle as possible, with the exception of particular activities such as caffeine intake, playing wind instruments, yoga and strenuous exercise. A patient diary will be distributed for the capture of patient activities during the TF pattern recording. Upon completion of each session, the CLS (contact lens sensor) will be removed and a final ophthalmic examination will be conducted. In the first stage of the study, 20 patients with neovascular AMD with an IOP in the normal range and no concomitant glaucoma will be recruited. After having signed and dated the patient informed consent form, patients will undergo an initial ophthalmic examination. One eye will be selected for the study. If both eyes are eligible, the study eye will be selected in random manner. All 20 AMD patients will receive two 24-hour recording sessions (S) with the TF CLS, at monthly interval. In the first session (S1) anti-VEGF injection will be carried out according to the study center standard protocol. For the second 24-hour TF recording session (S2), patients will be randomly distributed into three groups. Group A, consisting of 5 patients, will receive anti-VEGF injection with a different anti-VEGF substance as compared to S1. Group B, also consisting of 5 patients, will receive anti-VEGF without sclerotomy occlusion after injection as compared to S1. Finally, group C, including 10 patients, will receive anti-VEGF in a different dose (injection volume) as compared to S1. The randomization ratio between groups A, B and C is 1:1:2. The overall study duration for an eligible patient in the first stage of this study is limited to 5 weeks. If in the first stage of this study an injection protocol is identified that provokes significantly lesser elevation on the TF pattern, the alternative injection protocol will be evaluated against the current standard protocol. For the second stage, 30 patients of whom 15 with neovascular AMD and 15 with neovascular AMD and concomitant OAG will be recruited. After giving informed consent and confirmation of eligibility, all patients will receive two 24-hour TF CLS recording sessions (S3 and S4) at monthly interval, during which anti-VEGF injection according to the standard and alternative protocol will be carried out in random sequence. The overall study duration for a patient in the second stage of the study is limited to 5 weeks. The study has been planned to recruit 20 eligible patients in the first stage within 12 weeks from the date of initiation. The second stage will recruit 30 patients within 16 weeks. Hence the overall study duration from the first patient accrued into the study until last patient out equates to about 33 weeks. Allowing for a database lock within 4 weeks of study completion, a preliminary statistical report on the primary efficacy endpoint is foreseen within 2 weeks thereafter.
This study will assess angle width in Chinese patients with Open-angle Glaucoma and/or Ocular Hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to assess the pigmentation in the trabecular meshwork of patients who had been treated for at least 2 years with TRAVATAN compared with patients without exposure (or less than 1 month) to a prostaglandin analogue (PGA).
