About this study

Investigators hypothesize that the synergistic action of iStent in increasing aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork and use of prostaglandin analog such as travoprost or latanoprost to increase uveoscleral outflow will achieve good Intra-ocular Pressure (IOP) control with minimal complications in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) patients with suboptimal IOP on 2 or more medications compared to mitomycin C (MMC) augmented trabeculectomy.

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective randomized controlled study.

20 phakic or pseudophakic open angle glaucoma patients with an IOP in the range of 18-30 mmHg on 2 or more topical glaucoma medications will be randomly selected to undergo either (1) mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy or (2) placement of 2 iStent devices and initiation of a daily prostaglandin analog. This study is looking at the combined effects of the 2 iStents and a prostaglandin analog as a method to achieve low IOP. At 3 months (+/- 2 weeks) postoperatively, the iStent patients will be left only on the prostaglandin analog with a washout performed for any other hypotensive medication used. Patients who had a trabeculectomy will be have a terminal washout of all IOP-lowering medications at 3 months (+/- 2 weeks) post-surgery. The IOP will then be measured for both groups at 4 months (+/- 3 weeks) postoperatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iStent and travoprost or latanoprost and Trabeculectomy in people with Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Johns Hopkins University.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2018. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

IOP <= 18 mmHg (time frame: Post surgery month 4). 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?
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 19 Jan 2018.
