Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety of the Glaukos® iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent Model GTS100R/L in subjects previously enrolled in Glaukos Study GC-003.

Detailed description

The goal of this study was to demonstrate that use of this device in conjunction with cataract surgery did not result in a rate of sight-threatening adverse events, after 5 years of implantation that was higher than the rate of sight-threatening adverse events that occurred after cataract surgery alone, by more than a non-inferiority margin of 5%.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Sight-threatening Adverse Events80 Month averageThe primary endpoint is the occurrence of sight-threatening adverse events. The rate of sight-threatening adverse events at each visit will be calculated for the three treatment groups (randomized control group, randomized iStent group, and non-randomized iStent group) separately. The summary will also be performed for pooling the randomized iStent and non-randomized iStent group.
