About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Ologen Collagen Matrix Versus Mitomycin-C in Trabeculectomy

The aim of this prospective randomized study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy with ologen Collagen Matrix versus trabeculectomy using mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

ologen® Collagen Matrix (CM) is an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) specifically configured to support repair in connective and epithelial ocular tissue. The device is constructed so as to minimize random growth of fibroblasts and instead to allow them to grow through the pores in the matrix. ologen® CM is a biodegradable scaffold matrix, inducing a regenerative non-scarring wound healing process without using anti-fibrotic agents. For application in glaucoma filtration surgery, ologen® CM is designed to prevent scar formation (subconjunctival and scleral flap scarring is the major risk factor for failure of trabeculectomy). After implanting the ologen® CM on top of the scleral flap in the subconjunctival space, a functional bleb can be created.

The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of the ologen® CM and reduce wound scarring, thereby increasing success of trabeculectomy without side effects of MMC. A means of producing better success rate and reduced complications is the purpose of ologen® Collagen Matrix for the aid of glaucoma surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Use of ologen Collagen Matrix in trabeculectomyDevice

    After trabeculectomy, place ologen Collagen Matrix on the top of the scleral flap under the conjunctiva before suturing

  • Use of Mitomycin-C in trabeculectomyDrug

    After creating a scleral flap, a sponge with Mitomycin-C (0.02%) is applied on the scleral surface for 3 minutes. Afterwards, Mitomycin-C was rinsed out with balanced salt solution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Use of ologen Collagen Matrix in trabeculectomy and Use of Mitomycin-C in trabeculectomy in people with Open-angle Glaucoma, run by Aeon Astron Europe B.V. at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 9 May 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 Germany. 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?

Contact Thomas Dietlein, MD (+49-221-478-5862 ext. 4300, thomas.dietlein@uk-koeln.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01174420, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 May 2011.
