  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Patient must have primary open angle glaucoma or pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma in the study eye; diagnosis is based on glaucomatous optic neuropathy, Shaffer angle of +2 and visual field defect attributed to glaucoma (at least two consecutive abnormal visual field test results, defined as a pattern SD (PSD) outside the 95% normal confidence limits and/or glaucoma Hemifield Test (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.).

  • Patient is indicated for filtration surgery.
  • Presence of ocular hypertension, defined as an intraocular corrected pressure (IOP) ≥ 21 mm Hg in the study eye, while on maximal tolerated medications . This IOP level of above or equal 21 mmHg must be verified and recorded in the most recent 2 consecutive measurements (but not taken on the same day) prior to operation.
  • Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) better than 20/200 in the fellow eye.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has previously undergone a non-penetrating glaucoma surgery with the IOPtima CO2 Laser System in fellow eye.
  • Diagnosis of glaucoma other than primary open angle glaucoma or pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma.
  • History of previous intraocular surgery in the study eye; referring to but not limited to glaucoma filtering surgery (penetrating and non-penetrating), laser gonioplasty, corneal transplant, and history of any other laser ocular procedures except for laser trabeculoplasty surgery.
  • Laser trabeculoplasty surgery within the last three months in the study eye.
  • Study eye is aphakic.
  • Patients with previous cataract extraction with scleral tunnel and or conjunctival incision in the study eye.
Show all 22Show fewer
  • Proliferative or severe non-proliferative retinopathy in either eye.
  • Eyes with (dilated) pupil diameter of less than 2 mm in the study eye.
  • Discernable congenital anomaly of the anterior chamber angle in the study eye.
  • Patients with neuropathy other than glaucoma in the study eye.
  • Patient with RVO (retinal vein occlusion) in the study eye.
  • Patient with RAO (retinal artery occlusion) in the study eye.
  • History of prior vitrectomy or Vitreous Hemorrhage (VH) in the study eye.
  • Patient with media opacification which may interfere with optic nerve evaluation in the study eye.
  • Patient with a history of severe eye trauma in the study eye
  • Patient with ocular malformations such as microphthalmia in the study eye.
  • Patient with concurrent inflammatory / infective eye disorder (e.g. episcleritis, scleritis) in the study eye
  • Patient with any sign of past or present uveitis (anterior / posterior)
  • Patient with known allergy to the study medications.
  • Patient with severe systemic disease or disabling conditions such as: chronic renal failure requiring dialysis, severe and disenabling neurological disease, and post organ transplants.
  • Patient participating in another clinical trial or participation in another clinical trial is < 3 months.
  • Patient is pregnant or breast feeding. Women of child bearing age will submit a urine sample result for β-HCG (Pregnancy test) within 2 weeks of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laser Assisted Non-penetrating glaucoma surgery in people with Open Angle Glaucoma and Pseudo-Exfoliative Glaucoma, run by IOPtima Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2011.
