Innovative Tube Trabeculectomy for Advanced and Refractory Glaucoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial (ITT-RCT)

5. august 2026 oppdatert av: Ahmed Mohamed Saeed Abdel Hamid, Benha University

A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Single-Center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Innovative Tube Trabeculectomy Compared to Conventional Trabeculectomy in Patients With Advanced and Refractory Glaucoma

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of a novel surgical technique, Innovative Tube Trabeculectomy (ITT), against conventional trabeculectomy in patients with advanced and refractory glaucoma. ITT incorporates a unique preoperative regimen and surgical modifications, including a deep extended scleral tunnel, X-shaped non-absorbable suture, and a nasolacrimal tube implant, designed to enhance aqueous humor outflow and reduce postoperative fibrosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ITT or conventional trabeculectomy and followed for 12 months to assess intraocular pressure control, medication use, complication rates, and bleb morphology.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. While trabeculectomy is a standard surgical intervention, its long-term success can be compromised by fibrosis. The ITT technique introduces several innovations to address these limitations. This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial will enroll adult patients with advanced or refractory open-angle glaucoma. Patients will undergo a rigorous preoperative regimen before being randomized to either the ITT group or the conventional trabeculectomy group. The primary outcome will be surgical success (IOP ≤ 15 mmHg and ≥ 20% reduction from baseline without medication) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include mean IOP, medication burden, complication rates, bleb morphology (UBM/AS-OCT), visual acuity, visual fields, and quality of life. The study will provide crucial evidence on the potential benefits of ITT for this challenging patient population.

Beskrivelse

Inclusion Criteria:

- • Diagnosis of advanced or refractory primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or secondary open-angle glaucoma (excluding neovascular glaucoma).

  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) > 21 mmHg despite maximal tolerated medical therapy or previous failed glaucoma surgery.
  • Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/400 or better.
  • Capable of providing informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous incisional glaucoma surgery in the study eye (except for prior failed trabeculectomy in the refractory group).
  • Neovascular glaucoma or other forms of secondary glaucoma that may significantly impact wound healing (e.g., uveitic glaucoma).
  • Significant ocular comorbidities that may confound outcome assessment (e.g., severe corneal disease, retinal detachment).
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to enrollment.

Eksperimentell: Arm 1: Innovative Tube Trabeculectomy (ITT)
Patients will undergo the innovative tube trabeculectomy procedure. This includes a 3-week preoperative regimen (discontinuation of preserved medications and prostaglandin analogs, initiation of fluorometholone), a 1-week preoperative subconjunctival injection (Mitomycin C 0.04%, Avastin 1.25 mg, Dexamethasone 8 mg), and the surgical technique involving a deep extended scleral tunnel, intraoperative Mitomycin C application, X-shaped non-absorbable suture, and nasolacrimal tube implantation.
