About this study

To measure surgical success of open vs closed conjunctiva with Xen implantation.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective, single-arm multicenter study included >100 eyes (>100 patients) with glaucoma refractory to medical therapy. All surgeries were performed by two groups of surgeons at Johns Hopkins University and the sub-investigator group at New York University. Group 1: Xen with open conjunctiva for positioning and application of mitomycin. The Xen was placed through the sclera either ab-interno or ab-externa. Group 2 had Xen placed ab-interno or ab-externa (trans conjunctival), but the conjunctiva was not opened for positioning or application of mitomycin-C.

Success rates will be determined based on need for re-intervention and intraocular pressure control.

What participants receive

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

  • Xen Gel StentDevice

    Ab-interno or Ab-Externa Xen with closed or open conjunctiva.

What is being measured

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

  1. re-intervention rate

    This will be assessed as the proportion of patients that will need fibrosis relief by stent re-implantation

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in intraocular pressure

    will be assessed as a % change in intraocular pressure

    Measured: 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Johns Hopkins University at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 May 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 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?

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?

re-intervention rate (time frame: 3 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 NCT04406467, which also lists 2 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 25 May 2023.
