Comparing Hydrus Microstent(TM) to the iStent for Lowering IOP in Glaucoma Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery

June 24, 2024 updated by: Ivantis, Inc.

A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Comparison of the Hydrus Microstent to the iStent for Lowering Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery

This clinical trial compares two implantable devices intended to lower the pressure inside the eye of glaucoma patients. One of the two devices will be implanted immediately following cataract surgery and the placement of a posterior chamber intra-ocular lens. Only one eye (study eye) will be implanted.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-masked, randomized clinical trial comparing Cataract Extraction (CE) + Hydrus Microstent to CE surgery + iStent implant for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with a positive diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, or pigmentary dispersion glaucoma with an operable cataract. Eligible patients will be scheduled for cataract surgery. At the conclusion of successful cataract surgery and the placement of a posterior-chamber IOL, qualified subjects will be randomized to receive either the Hydrus Microstent or the iStent implant. Post-operative follow-up visits will be conducted at regular intervals.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Unmedicated Mean Diurnal Intraocular Pressure (DIOP) at Month 12
Time Frame: Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm
Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry and averaged over the 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm time points. IOP was recorded in millimeters mercury (mmHg). The IOP assessment occurred after a protocol-specified wash-out period from all glaucoma medications.
Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Subjects With 20% Reduction From Baseline in Unmedicated DIOP at Month 12
Time Frame: Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm
Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry and averaged over the 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm time points. IOP was recorded in millimeters mercury (mmHg). The IOP assessment occurred after a protocol-specified wash-out period from all glaucoma medications.
Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm
Percentage of Subjects With Unmedicated DIOP of Not Less Than 5 mmHg and Not More Than 18 mmHg at Month 12
Time Frame: Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm
Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry and averaged over the 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm time points. IOP was recorded in millimeters mercury (mmHg). The IOP assessment occurred after a protocol-specified wash-out period from all glaucoma medications.
Month 12: 8 am, 12 pm, 4 pm

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of eyes with IOP greater than 5 and less than or equal to 19 mmHg.
Time Frame: 24 months
The proportion of eyes with IOP greater than 5 and less than or equal to 19 mmHg at 24 months after surgery.
24 months
Loss of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
Time Frame: 24 months
Safety outcomes include loss of lines of BCVA, results of slit lamp and fundus examination, and the incidence of complications and adverse events.
24 months
