PEI-GT Trial for Initial Treatment of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma With Cataract

7 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University

Efficacy and Safety of Phacoemulsification Combined With Gonioscopy-Assisted Trabeculotomy as Initial Treatment for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma With Cataract: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether doing phacoemulsification combined with gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy as an initial treatment can reduce the burden of glaucoma eye drops in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma and cataract. It will also learn whether this early surgical strategy improves ocular surface health and vision-related quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does early combined surgery reduce the need for long-term glaucoma medications? Does early combined surgery improve ocular surface health compared with cataract surgery followed by guideline-based glaucoma eye drops? Does early combined surgery improve vision-related quality of life and anxiety compared with the medication-based treatment strategy? What medical problems or complications do participants have after treatment? Researchers will compare phacoemulsification combined with gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy to phacoemulsification followed by guideline-based topical eye pressure-lowering medications.

Participants will:

Undergo cataract surgery with or without gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy Attend follow-up visits for 24 months after treatment Have eye pressure, visual acuity, OCT, AS-OCT, visual field, ocular surface, and safety examinations at scheduled visits Complete quality-of-life and anxiety questionnaires at scheduled visits Provide tear samples at selected visits for biomarker testing where applicable

Detaljerad beskrivning

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy in which sustained intraocular pressure control is important for delaying structural and functional progression. Long-term topical IOP-lowering medication may be limited by ocular surface disease, poor adherence, treatment cost, and cumulative ocular tissue exposure. Gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy is an ab interno minimally invasive glaucoma procedure that can be combined with phacoemulsification in patients with coexisting cataract. This trial will compare PEI plus GT with PEI plus conventional medications as an initial treatment strategy in treatment-naive patients with POAG and cataract. Randomization will be stratified by center and implemented through an IWRS or equivalent web-based randomization system. Outcome assessors will be masked whenever feasible. Follow-up visits are scheduled at Day 1, Day 7, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12, Month 18, and Month 24.

Experimentell: PEI combined with gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy
Participants will undergo phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation combined with approximately 120 degrees of ab interno gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy during the same surgical session. Postoperative care will follow the protocol, and rescue IOP-lowering medications may be added if clinically indicated.
Kombinationsprodukt: PEI combined with gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy
Phacoemulsification combined with Ab interno trabeculotomy performed under gonioscopic visualization for approximately 120 degrees to incise/open the trabecular meshwork and expose Schlemm canal. The cutting instrument will be non-device-dependent, such as a Tanito hook, Lanxin knife, Zeng knife, or bent 25-26G needle; KDB is not included as the cutting blade.
Aktiv komparator: PEI combined with conventional IOP-lowering medications
Participants will undergo phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. Postoperatively, conventional topical IOP-lowering medications will be initiated or adjusted according to guideline-based care and clinical judgment when IOP remains above target.
