About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomised Trial Comparing Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and iStent Trabecular Micro-bypass Stent Implantation Combined With Cataract Surgery in Exfoliation Glaucoma

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of an iStent trabecular microbypass stent compared to selective laser trabeculoplasty in combination with cataract surgery in eyes with exfoliation glaucoma (EXF)

Read the detailed description

Exfoliation glaucoma patients with significant cataracts are being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Patient´s glaucoma is classified into stable or unstable glaucoma groups with their current glaucoma medication. Patients meeting the eligibility requirements of stable glaucoma will be randomised to cataract surgery combined with iStent (65 patients), II SLT (65 patients) or III cataract surgery alone (25 patients) and patient with unstable glaucoma will be randomised to cataract surgery combined with I iStent (65 patients), II SLT (65 patients).

Being tested
iStent, SLT-laser, Cataract surgery
Keywords
SLT, iStent
Medical subject headings
Exfoliation Syndrome, Cataract

What participants receive

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

  • iStentProcedure or surgery

    Also called Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent System Model G2-M-IS, Glaukos Corporation, San Clemente, California

    2 trabecular Stent injected at the end of the cataract surgery to the trabecular meshwork

  • SLT-laserProcedure or surgery

    Also called Selective laser trabeculoplasty

    1 month after cataract surgery laser treatment to the trabecular meshwork (100 applications, 360 degrees)

  • Cataract surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Conventional cataract surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Group I: Change in the number of IOP lowering medications compared to baseline

    Accountability of IOP lowering medications used by the patient

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Group II: Change in the IOP compared to baseline

    IOP measured by Goldmann aplanation tonometry (GAT)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Group I: Change in the IOP compared to baseline

    IOP measured by GAT

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Group II: Change in the number of IOP lowering medications compared to baseline

    Accountability of IOP lowering medications used by the patient

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iStent, SLT-laser and Cataract surgery in people with Exfoliation Glaucoma and Cataract, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2020. 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 Finland. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Eeva Ojanen, MD (+358503608589, eeva.ojanen@hus.fi), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Group I: Change in the number of IOP lowering medications compared to baseline (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 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 18 Nov 2020.
