About this study

Official title: The Safety and Effectiveness of the Hydrus Aqueous Implant for Lowering Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery, A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial

This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, study. After informed consent is obtained, patients will be evaluated for eligibility based on glaucoma severity, eye health, and visual acuity. Following successful screening, use of all topical glaucoma medications will be stopped for a period of "washout" to establish a qualifying medication-free intraocular pressure (IOP) value. Clinical follow up will be scheduled over the course of the 24 month study, and examinations will be repeated to monitor eye health. At the 1 and 2 year follow up, those patients on ocular hypotensive medications will be instructed to washout, and then have the diurnal (IOP taken in the morning, mid-day, and afternoon in the same day) IOP evaluation. Annual follow up will occur up to 5 years. The primary effectiveness endpoint is a decrease in diurnal IOP from baseline compared to the 24 months diurnal IOP following medication washout.

What participants receive

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

  • Hydrus Aqueous ImplantDevice

    The Hydrus Aqueous Implant is a crescent-shaped nitinol device intended to be a permanent implant placed through the trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's Canal, immediately following placement of a monofocal IOL.

  • Cataract surgeryProcedure or surgery

    A monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) placed during the cataract surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hydrus Aqueous Implant (Treatment)ExperimentalCataract surgery plus Hydrus Aqueous Implant
Receives: Device: Hydrus Aqueous Implant
Cataract Surgery (Control)Active comparatorCataract surgery only
Receives: Procedure: Cataract surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in Mean Diurnal IOP From Baseline at 24 Months Following Medication Washout.

    Percentage of eyes in which diurnal IOP was reduced by greater than or equal to 20% at 24 months postoperative compared to baseline after washout of topical glaucoma medications.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean Diurnal Washed Out IOP Change From Baseline at 24 Months Compared Between Treatment and Control Groups.

    Mean diurnal IOP change from baseline at 24 months between both groups after washout of topical glaucoma medications.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydrus Aqueous Implant and Cataract surgery in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, run by Ivantis, Inc. at 38 sites in 9 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 12 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Germany and 4 more countries. 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 6 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?

Reduction in Mean Diurnal IOP From Baseline at 24 Months Following Medication Washout. (time frame: Baseline and 24 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 NCT01539239, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Mar 2021.
