About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery on Chinese Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

To evaluate the clinical efficacy (intraocular pressure reduction , success rate, the number of antiglaucoma medication) and safety of ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with Trabectome in Chinese PACG .

Read the detailed description

A randomized, single blind, positive parallel control study method was used.This prospective case series will recruit 246 Chinese POAG, 123 cases in the experimental group will receive AIT treatment and 123 cases in the control group will receive trabeculectomy(Trab) surgery.Measurements of intraocular pressure(IOP) , visual acuity, refraction, slit lamp examination of the anterior segment and fundus, optical coherence tomography(OCT) to detect retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, macular thickness, visual field, gonioscopy and ultrasonic biological microscopy (UBM) will be recorded.They will be followed up for 12 months. The main outcome is success rate of IOP reduction and the other outcome are the number of antiglaucoma medication and complications .

Being tested
ab interno trabeculectomy with Trabectome, trabeculectomy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • ab interno trabeculectomy with TrabectomeProcedure or surgery

    123 PACG will be recruited to receive ab interno trabeculectomy with Trabectome and before this surgery, laser peripheral iridectomy will be performed firstly

  • trabeculectomyProcedure or surgery

    123 PACG will be recruited to receive trabeculectomy to reduce IOP

Trab groupActive comparatorPACG in AIT group will receive trabeculectomy.
Receives: Procedure: trabeculectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. success rate of IOP reduction

    IOP ≤21mmHg and IOP reduction rate ≥20% with or without antiglaucoma medications and without additional glaucoma surgery

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. number of antiglaucoma medication

    numbers of antiglaucoma medication will be recorded before surgery and 12 months follow up.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. complication rate

    all the complications related to the surgery will be evaluated and recorded.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. 24-hour IOP fluctuations

    24-hour IOP fluctuations curve will be recorded before treatment and 12 months follow up.

    Measured: 12 months

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 LING GE, M.d. (+86-21-62717733 ext. 851, geling99@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

success rate of IOP reduction (time frame: 12 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 NCT02964676, which also lists 23 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 28 Nov 2016.
