About this study
Official title: Impact of Endoscopic Assisted Anterior Hyaloid Peeling in Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis in Reducing Postoperative Complications
Common complications of the Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 (KPro) surgery include retroprosthetic membrane formation, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Often pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is performed at the same time as KPro surgery for different indications. It has been shown to reduce postoperative complications in comparison to when it is performed after the KPro surgery. Patients who receive a complete PPV with peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane have a lower incidence of retroprosthetic membrane formation and less vision loss due to glaucoma when compared to patients with partial PPV or anterior vitrectomy. During a complete PPV, peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane is a difficult step because visualisation is poor, but it can be improved using endoscopy. The investigators suggest that peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane assisted by endoscopy during KPro surgery would decrease postoperative complications in comparison to a PPV done after KPro surgery and without endoscopy.
Read the detailed description
Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 (KPro) surgery is the most common corneal graft and is used to restore vision in patients with high risk of failure with traditional penetrating keratoplasty. Common complications of KPro surgery include retroprosthetic membrane formation behind the backplate of the KPro. Glaucoma is the most common threat to vision rehabilitation in patients with KPro. Glaucoma is often present before surgery and progresses after KPro, seven times faster than in patients with only glaucoma. Retinal detachment is a common posterior segment complication that arises post-KPro and can lead to a serious loss of vision. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the standard treatment for patients with vitreoretinal diseases and opacities. PPV can include peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane to ensure total resection of the vitreous body. PPV allows for example for retroprosthetic membrane excision, installation or revision of a glaucoma drainage device, or repair of retinal detachment. Often PPV is performed at the same time as KPro surgery for different indications. It has been shown to reduce postoperative complications in comparison to when it is performed after the KPro surgery. Patients who receive a complete PPV with peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane have a lower incidence of retroprosthetic membrane formation and less vision loss due to glaucoma when compared to patients with partial PPV or anterior vitrectomy. Combined surgeries of KPro and PPV offer a complete evaluation of the optic nerve and of the retina, which would not be possible otherwise. During a complete PPV, peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane is a difficult step because visualisation is poor, especially with a KPro in place. Visualisation can be improved using endoscopy to visualize the inside of the eye over 360 degrees. The investigators suggest that peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane assisted by endoscopy during KPro surgery would decrease postoperative complications in comparison to a PPV done after KPro surgery and without endoscopy.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of retroprosthetic membrane formation
Rate of postoperative retroprosthetic membrane formation behind the backplate of the Boston keratoprosthesis. Retroprosthetic membrane formation is diagnosed by the investigator using an examination of the anterior chamber performed at the slit-lamp.
Measured: 12 months
Rate of retinal detachment
Rate of postoperative retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is diagnosed by the investigator using a dilated fundus (retinal) examination performed at the slit-lamp.
Measured: 12 months
Rate of glaucoma development
Rate of development or progression of glaucoma, determined based on intraocular pressure increase of > 21 mmHg, increase of glaucoma medications, optic nerve excavation progression, or need to undergo glaucoma filtration surgery.
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (8)
Proportion of patients with visual acuity better than 20/200
Proportion of patients with visual acuity better than 20/200 after surgery. The visual acuity is measured using the Snellen chart.
Measured: 12 months
Change of visual acuity
Change of visual acuity compared between before and after surgery. The visual acuity is measured using the Snellen chart.
Measured: 12 months
Time to retroprosthetic membrane formation after surgery
Time to retroprosthetic membrane formation, calculated in months from the time of the surgery. Retroprosthetic membrane formation behind the backplate of the Boston keratoprosthesis is diagnosed by the investigator using an examination of the anterior chamber performed at the slit-lamp.

Measured: 12 months
Proportion of patients with visual field loss of 30% or more
Proportion of patients with visual field loss of 30% or more, measured using the automated Humphrey 24-2 visual field. The loss of 30% or more of visual field is calculated using the first two postoperative tests as a reference.
Measured: 12 months
Proportion of patients with thinning of the nerve fiber layer
Proportion of patients with thinning of the nerve fiber layer, determined by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) in average and for each of the four quadrants.
Measured: 12 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Common complications of the Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 (KPro) surgery include retroprosthetic membrane formation, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Often pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is performed at the same time as KPro surgery for different indications. It has been shown to reduce postoperative complications in comparison to when it is performed after the KPro surgery. Patients who receive a complete PPV with peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane have a lower incidence of retroprosthetic membrane formation and less vision loss due to glaucoma when compared to patients with partial PPV or anterior vitrectomy. During a complete PPV, peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane is a difficult step because visualisation is poor, but it can be improved using endoscopy. The investigators suggest that peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane assisted by endoscopy during KPro surgery would decrease postoperative complications in comparison to a PPV done after KPro surgery and without endoscopy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 and anterior hyaloid membrane peeling assisted by endoscopy in people with Corneal Transplantation and Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.
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 5 inclusion and 4 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 27 Jul 2023. 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 Canada. 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 Marie-Catherine Tessier, M.Sc. (1-514-890-8000 ext. 11550, marie-catherine.tessier.chum@ssss.gouv.qc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of retroprosthetic membrane formation (time frame: 12 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 NCT04337944, which also lists 12 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 27 Jul 2023.
