About this study

Official title: Post Approval Study of the CyPass System in Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Undergoing Cataract Surgery

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the rate of clinically relevant complications associated with CyPass Micro-Stent placement and stability using the CyPass 241-S applier, as determined at 36 months in the postmarket setting, is less than the pre-specified performance target, which is based on experience with the CyPass Model E applier in COMPASS trial TMI-09-01 (NCT01085357).

Read the detailed description

Each subject's expected participation in the study is up to 37.5 months which includes up to 42 days between the screening and surgery visits, and 36 months of post-surgery follow-up. Only one eye per subject will be implanted.

Being tested
CyPass Micro-Stent implanted with CyPass 241-S applier, Cataract surgery

What participants receive

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

  • CyPass Micro-Stent implanted with CyPass 241-S applierDevice

    CyPass System (Model 241-S) consists of the CyPass Micro-Stent contained in a loading device (loader) and the CyPass applier.The CyPass Micro-Stent is an implantable medical device intended for long term use.

  • Cataract surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Cataract surgery, followed by implantation of the CyPass Micro-Stent in one eye (the study eye) at the surgery visit

Receives: Device: CyPass Micro-Stent implanted with CyPass 241-S applier; Procedure: Cataract surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Eyes With Clinically Relevant Complications Associated With CyPass Micro-Stent Placement and Stability as Determined at Month 36

    Device-related complications, as specified in the protocol, included:

    • Failure to implant CyPass, defined as inability to successfully deploy or insert the CyPass.
    • Clinically significant CyPass malposition, defined as CyPass positioning after deployment such that:
    • The device is not in the supraciliary space, or
    • Clinical sequela resulting from device position including, but not limited to:
    • Secondary surgical intervention to modify device position (eg, repositioning, proximal end trimming or explantation)
    • Corneal endothelial touch by device
    • Corneal edema leading to loss of BCDVA > 2 lines at the last postoperative visit, in comparison with preoperative BCDVA
    • Progressive ECL, defined as ongoing reduction in endothelial cell count of 30% or more relative to the screening ECD value, where 'ongoing reduction in endothelial cell count' is defined as losses continuing after Visit 5 (6 Month Follow-up).

    Measured: Up to Month 36 postoperative

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Mean Change in IOP From Baseline at Month 36

    Intraocular pressure (IOP) was assessed by Goldman tonometry and measured in millimeters mercury (mmHg). A negative change value indicates an improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 36 postoperative

  2. Percentage of Eyes With IOP Reduction 20 Percent or More From Baseline While Using the Same or Fewer Topical Ocular Hypotensive Medications at Month 36

    Intraocular pressure (IOP) was assessed by Goldman tonometry and measured in millimeters mercury (mmHg). A reduction in IOP from baseline indicates an improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 36 postoperative

  3. Percentage of Eyes Not Using Ocular Hypotensive Medication With IOP ≥ 6 mmHg and ≤ 18 mmHg at Month 36

    Intraocular pressure (IOP) was assessed by Goldman tonometry and measured in millimeters mercury (mmHg). Only one eye per subject was implanted.

    Measured: Month 36 postoperative

  4. Percentage of Eyes With Sight-threatening Adverse Events (AEs)

    Sight-threatening adverse events, as specified in the protocol, included:

    • Persistent Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) loss of 3 lines or more
    • Endophthalmitis
    • Corneal decompensation
    • Retinal detachment
    • Severe choroidal hemorrhage or detachment
    • Aqueous misdirection. Note: If an eye had multiple occurrences of an AE, the eye is presented only once in the respective eye count column (n) for the corresponding AE.

    Measured: Up to Month 36 postoperative

  5. Percentage of Eyes With Ocular Secondary Surgical Interventions (SSI)

    A secondary surgical intervention may have occurred for any of the following reasons:

    • CyPass device explantation associated with CyPass placement and stability
    • CyPass device explantation NOT associated with CyPass placement and stability
    • Unplanned ocular surgical reintervention associated with CyPass placement and stability
    • Unplanned ocular surgical reintervention NOT associated with CyPass placement and stability (as defined in the protocol).

    Note: If an eye had multiple occurrences of an AE, the eye is presented only once in the respective eye count column (n) for the corresponding AE

    Measured: Up to Month 36 postoperative

  6. Percentage of Eyes With Ocular SSIs Associated With CyPass Placement and Stability

    A secondary surgical intervention may have occurred for either of the following reasons:

    • CyPass device explantation associated with CyPass placement and stability
    • Unplanned ocular surgical reintervention associated with CyPass placement and stability.

    Note: If an eye had multiple occurrences of an AE, the eye is presented only once in the respective eye count column (n) for the corresponding AE

    Measured: Up to Month 36 postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CyPass Micro-Stent implanted with CyPass 241-S applier and Cataract surgery in people with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma and Cataract, run by Alcon Research at 20 sites 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 16 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites 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 21 Sep 2022). 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?

Percentage of Eyes With Clinically Relevant Complications Associated With CyPass Micro-Stent Placement and Stability as Determined at Month 36 (time frame: Up to Month 36 postoperative). 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 16 Feb 2024.
