About this study

Official title: The Effects of the Water Drinking Test on Intraocular Pressure of Glaucoma Patients Undergoing 24 Hour Continuous Monitoring With the SENSIMED Triggerfish

This clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy profile of the SENSIMED Triggerfish® during 24-hour IOP monitoring in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, done three times at monthly intervals under different therapeutic regimen. This trial will also evaluate the efficacy of SENSIMED Triggerfish® to detect changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after the water drinking test (WDT) will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

The investigation will recruit male and female patients 18-80 years old and diagnosed with glaucoma or ocular hypertension requiring hypotensive ocular treatment. Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled in the study to ensure a minimum of 80 completing three IOP fluctuation monitoring sessions. Patients will be considered enrolled in the study upon signature of informed consent. A screening visit and three 26-hour IOP fluctuation monitoring sessions are planned for each patient. IOP monitoring sessions will be carried out in ambulatory mode at 4 week intervals (plus/minus 7 days). All subjects will be monitored during the same period of the day (± 1hr). The expected duration of participation for each patient is of 3.5 days over three to four months. Patients will be recruited over a 16-month period. The total expected study duration is 16 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. 24-hour IOP Patterns

    Assess IOP patterns between day and night time and changes after the WDT.

    Measured: 24-hour

  2. Intraocular Pressure

    IOP monitoring sessions will be carried out in ambulatory mode at 4 week intervals (plus/minus 7 days)

    Measured: 24-hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ocular Adverse Events

    appearance of any device- or non-device-related ocular adverse events

    Measured: 24-hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SENSIMED Triggerfish in people with Glaucoma, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 11 Sep 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Sep 2019). 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?

24-hour IOP Patterns (time frame: 24-hour). 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 11 Sep 2019.
