About this study

Official title: Randomized, Controlled Treatment With an Intracanalicular Dexamethasone (0.4mg) Insert Following Cataract Surgery With IOL Combined With MIGS, Specifically iStent, iStent Inject or KDB in Patients With POAG or Ocular Hypertension (OHTN)

Randomized, controlled treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert following cataract surgery with intraocular lens implant (IOL) combined with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), specifically iStent, iStent inject or KDB in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHTN)

Read the detailed description

To determine treatment and patient reported outcomes, following cataract surgery with intraocular lens implant in conjunction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) more specifically iStent, iStent inject or KDB with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insert, inserted four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery as compared to insertion on day of surgery. Patients with either primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHTN) requiring cataract surgery with IOL implant, will be separated into two groups.

Group 1: intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insertion four days (+/- 1 day) prior to cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implant and MIGS (iStent, iStent inject or KDB) insertion. (Patient to use antibiotic three days prior to surgery) Group 2: intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insertion on the day of cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implant and MIGS (iStent, iStent inject or KDB) insertion. (Patient to use antibiotic three days prior to surgery)

Being tested
Intracanalicular Dexamethasone, 0.4 mg insert

What is being measured

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

  1. Intracanalicular Dexamethasone, 0.4 mg insert four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery

    Primary: Will receive the insert four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery. Each enrolled subject will be required to complete seven scheduled visits over the course of the study period: Baseline, insertion visit, operative visit, Day 1, 7, 30, and a 14 \& 45-day phone call.

    Absence of cells in anterior chamber at day 7 as measured by: Summed Ocular Inflammation Score (0-4) Absence of cell to be defined as a grade of (0-0.5) Absence of pain at Day 7 (score of 0) as measured by ocular pain assessment numerical grading scale 0-10 Mean change in BCVA from baseline (Day 7,30) Mean change in OCT from baseline (Day 30) Physician ease of intracanalicular insertion evaluation as measured by physician questionnaire Incidence and severity of ocular and systemic AE's (Day 1,7,14,30,45)

    Measured: four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery with visits scheduled at day 1, day 7, day 14, day 30, and day 45.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intracanalicular Dexamethasone, 0.4 mg insertion on day of surgery.

    Secondary: Will receive the insert on the day of surgery. Each enrolled study subject will be required to complete six scheduled visits over the course of the study period: Screening visit, operative/insertion visit, Day 1, 7, 30, and a 14 \& 45 day phone call.

    Measuring cell, pain and flare at (Day 1,30) Absence of cell to be defined as a grade of (0-0.5) Absence of flare to be defined as a grade of (0-1) Determining if call backs have decreased at the clinic with study patients

    Measured: insertion on day of surgery with scheduled visits on day 1, day 7, day 14, day 30, and day 45.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intracanalicular Dexamethasone, 0.4 mg insert in people with Glaucoma, Primary Open Angle and Cataract, run by Wolstan and Goldberg Eye Associates 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 5 inclusion and 15 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 22 Aug 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Intracanalicular Dexamethasone, 0.4 mg insert four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery (time frame: four days (+/- 1 day) prior to surgery with visits scheduled at day 1, day 7, day 14, day 30, and day 45.). 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 22 Aug 2022.
