  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Men or women of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) aged 18 years and older at screening.
  • Diagnosis of chronic angle-closure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma, phakic or pseudophakic, with visual field or optic disc changes characteristic of glaucoma. For pseudophakic glaucoma patients, the cataract surgery performed was with phacoemulsification and through a corneal incision.
  • Suitable candidate for trabeculectomy in the study eye which the physician deems as medically necessary.

Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis of glaucoma other than chronic angle-closure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma (ie., uveitic, traumatic or neovascular glaucoma).
  • Any previous ocular surgeries in the study eye involving the upper conjunctiva and sclera.
  • History of laser surgeries in the study eye within 90 days before day 1.
  • Presence or history of any disease that could affect wound healing.
  • Any asymmetric abnormality of the anterior segment which requires additional intervention (surgery or medication).
  • Any abnormality other than glaucoma in the study eye that could affect tonometry.
  • Presence or history of uveitis within 10 years or any other ocular infection or inflammation within 14 days before day 1.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Study of PRM-151 in the Prevention of Postoperative Scarring in Glaucoma Patients Following Primary Trabeculectomy

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of PRM-151 administered as a subconjunctival injection and explore the effect of PRM-151 on various correlates of the wound healing process that occurs in the eye after glaucoma filtration surgery.

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma is a disease of the eye which affects the optic nerve (the nerve that sends signals from the eye to the brain) and is associated with visual field defects and potential blindness. The treatment of glaucoma involves lowering the pressure in the eye, which is often (but not always) elevated due to accumulation of fluid inside the eye that cannot drain away. In the operation called trabeculectomy (a type of filtration surgery), a small channel is created through the sclera (the white of the eye) to allow accumulated fluid to drain away. Scarring may occur after surgery when, during healing, too much collagen (a type of protein) is deposited in the channel. This causes the channel to seal up and the pressure inside the eye to build up again.

The study will be conducted in patients suffering from glaucoma who are due to undergo trabeculectomy. Patients will be randomized to have either PRM-151 or placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety of Subconjunctival Injection

    Number of adverse events (AEs), treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), non-ocular TEAEs, Ocular TEAEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), abnormal slit-lamp biomicroscopic findings, and abnormal dilated fundoscopy findings

    Measured: AEs, slit-lamp, and fundoscopy findings from first injection through end of study; TEAEs from first injection through Day 30

  2. Subjects With Safety Related Events or Findings

    The number of Subjects with AEs, TEAEs, SAEs, decreased visual acuity, and worsened visual fields

    Measured: First injection through end of study for AEs, SAEs, visual acuity and visual fields, and from first injection through Day 30 for TEAEs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PRM-151 in people with Glaucoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 14 sites in 4 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Czechia, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety of Subconjunctival Injection (time frame: AEs, slit-lamp, and fundoscopy findings from first injection through end of study; TEAEs from first injection through Day 30). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Apr 2022.
