About this study

The study is designed as a post market evaluation of the Softec HP1 IOL for continuance of the CE certificate. The primary effectiveness endpoint is to evaluate the safety and performance levels produced by this IOL in patients requiring standard cataract surgery. There will be no change from standard procedure, other than 1 extra post op evaluation.

Read the detailed description

Recruitment will be performed by the 3 Clinical Investigators (Jean-Pierre Danjoux - Sunderland Eye Infirmary, Karen Goodall - Croft Shifa Health Center, Mark Benson - Midland Eye Institute) and any appropriate, pre-trained staff within the hospital using the inclusion and exclusion criteria set out in the protocol. Patient selection will involve anyone over the age of 21 with an age-related cataract regardless of ethnicity, religion or gender.

An Informed Consent Form (ICF) will be explained with patients in full which will be signed by both the Principal Investigator (PI) and the patient with full understanding. Understanding fully means that the patient understands the nature of the operation, the benefits to the operation and also any risks or burdens.

The consent form also states alternatives to participation in the trial other than the option being put forward. The patients will be of sound enough mind to retain the information from the ICF and will be given time to digest this in order to make a free and effective decision to join the study.

All risks and benefits are explained in the ICF and are no more or less than that of a standard cataract surgery provided on a daily basis by NHS consultants. All surgeries will be performed by the PI.

Confidentiality shall be kept at all times with the PI and clinical staff using a unique patient reference number that in no instance indicates the identity of the patient to the study sponsor (Lenstec Inc.) or anyone else outside of the hospital. Any other confidentiality issues will run in conjunction with the hospital policy of which the staff involved in the study are aware.

There are no tissue samples to be used in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • Softec HP1 Intraocular LensDevice

    The Softec HP1 IOL is a single-piece, biconvex, ultraviolet absorbing intraocular lens designed for insertion into the posterior chamber of the human eye for visual correction of Aphakia in adults over the age of 21, and as a replacement of a damaged (cataract) natural lens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA)

    The postoperative BCDVA for up to 75 patients will be measured under normal lighting conditions using a phoropter or trial frames, and these results will be evaluated by the sponsor on completion of the study.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UCDVA)

    The postoperative UCDVA for up to 75 patients will be measured under normal lighting conditions using a phoropter or trial frames, and these results will be evaluated by the sponsor on completion of the study.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Softec HP1 Intraocular Lens in people with Aphakia, run by Lenstec Incorporated at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 11 inclusion and 22 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 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 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) (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 15 Feb 2024.
