Study groups in NCT02908633
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
canaloplasty ab externo and phacoemulsificationActive comparatorAs soon as the two scleral flaps: deep and superficial -similar to deep sclerectomy are dissected, the phacoemulsification with PCIOL insertion is performed. After excision of the deep flap the descemets window and ostia of Schlemm canal are created, the microcatheter is placed in the canal and guided for 360 degrees within the canal. Surgeon observes the location of beacon tip through sclera and injects the Healon GV. Then a suture is tied to the distal tip and the microcatheter is withdrawn. As it appears at the other ostium of canal the microcatheter it separated from the suture.Then suture loop is tightened to tension the trabecular meshwork. The superficial flap is sutured watertight to prevent bleb formation
Receives: Procedure: canaloplasty and phacoemulsification
canaloplasty ab interno and phacoemulsificationActive comparatorThis variant of canaloplasty spares conjunctival surface. First phacoemulsification and PCIOL placement is performed. The Schlemm's canal is reached through goniotomy through anterior chamber. Similarly microcatheter is inserted and viscodilatator applicated. The key difference, is that no tensioning suture is left after the catheter is withdrawn. phacoemulsification is performed.
Receives: Procedure: canaloplasty and phacoemulsification
minicanaloplasty and phacoemulsificationActive comparatorThe dissected conjunctival flap is of minimal size. The scleral flaps are sized: superficial flap 3x1mm, and deep flap: 1x1 mm- with no removal of the deep flap. Afterwards phacoemulsification part is performed. The microcatheterization and viscodilatation are conducted as in the traditional procedure.The conjunctiva is closed with one suture or coagulation
Receives: Procedure: canaloplasty and phacoemulsification

What is being measured

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

  1. mean IOP

    Measured: change form baseline at 24 months

  2. Number of antiglaucoma drugs

    Measured: change from baseline at 24 months

  3. intraoperative complications

    Measured: at the day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Best-Corrected Visual Acuity

    Measured: change from baseline at 24 months

  2. Visual Field changes

    MD,

    Measured: change from baseline at 24 months

  3. Early and Late postsurgical complications

    Measured: within 24 months

  4. % IOP reduction

    Measured: change at 24 months from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing canaloplasty and phacoemulsification in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Cataract, run by Military Institute od Medicine National Research Institute at 1 site in Poland.

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 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 21 Sep 2016. 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 Poland. 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 Marek Rękas, MD, PhD, Professor (+48604113659, rekaspl@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mean IOP (time frame: change form baseline at 24 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02908633, 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 21 Sep 2016.
