Trial summary

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with inadequate drainage of the aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork towards the systemic circulation. This may lead to an increase in IOP and may damage the optic nerve. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 24-hour Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation Profile Recorded With SENSIMED Triggerfish® in Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Before and After Deep Sclerectomy With Collagen Implant

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with inadequate drainage of the aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork towards the systemic circulation. This may lead to an increase in IOP and may damage the optic nerve. The purpose of glaucoma management is to lower IOP in order to prevent progression of the optic neuropathy and subsequent visual loss. Firstline treatment usually includes IOP-lowering drug therapy. However, if IOP remains uncontrolled and/or the optic nerve damage progresses despite controlled IOP, surgery may be indicated. Deep sclerectomy with a collagen implant (DSCI) is a non-penetrating surgical procedure for the treatment of open angle glaucoma that allows the enhancement of the aqueous outflow. This forms the rationale to conduct this prospective, open label study to assess the 24-hour IOP fluctuation profile recorded with Triggerfish® in patients with POAG before and after DSCI.

What participants receive

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

  • SENSIMED Triggerfish®Device

    Portable investigational device using a contact lens sensor that monitors the IOP fluctuation continuously over 24-hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of DSCI on IOP fluctuation profile as recorded by Triggerfish® in patients with POAG.

    The IOP fluctuation profile will be recorded by Triggerfish® in patients with POAG

    • before DSCI
    • 3 months after DSCI.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Effect of DSCI on the diurnal and nocturnal IOP fluctuation pattern

    Diurnal and nocturnal IOP fluctuation pattern, wake/sleep and sleep/wake Triggerfish® slopes, Timing of Triggerfish® acrophase, Concomitant IOP-lowering topical drug use

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Changes in visual field 3 months after DSCI

    Change in the visual field

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Safety and tolerability

    Adverse events and serious adverse events collected throughout the duration of the study

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SENSIMED Triggerfish® in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, run by Sensimed AG at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2015. 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 Switzerland. 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?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Effect of DSCI on IOP fluctuation profile as recorded by Triggerfish® in patients with POAG. (time frame: 3 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 20 May 2015.
