Brief summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the AqueSys XEN Implant \[XEN® Gel Stent (XEN45 Implant)\] for the treatment of moderate primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) participants when medications have failed to control intraocular pressure (IOP). Effectiveness was evaluated by comparing medicated preoperative IOP to postoperative values. Additionally, the number of topical IOP-lowering medications at screening were compared to the number of IOP-lowering medications at 1 year.

Interventions

DEVICEXEN® Gel Stent

The XEN® Gel Stent (XEN45 implant) was placed in the study eye.

PROCEDURECataract Surgery

Participants diagnosed with a cataract elected to have cataract surgery.

Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma * Participants are taking at least one and no more than four topical IOP-lowering medications.

Exclusion criteria

* Angle Closure Glaucoma * Participant has neovascular, uveitic or angle recession glaucoma or any glaucoma associated with vascular disorders * Clinically significant inflammation or infection in the study eye within 30 days prior to the preoperative visit (e.g., blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, herpes simplex infection) * Presence of conjunctival scarring or prior conjunctival surgery or other conjunctival pathologies (e.g., pterygium) in the target quadrant

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in the Study Eye to Month 12Baseline (≤ 90 days Preoperative) to Month 12 (Postoperative)IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Two IOP measurements were taken, followed by a third if the first 2 differed by 3 mmHg or more. The measurements were averaged. The study eye(s) is defined as an eye(s) that met IOP and IOP-lowering medication study inclusion criteria. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

The study eye(s) is defined as an eye(s) that met IOP and IOP-lowering medication study inclusion criteria. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in the Study Eye to Month 12

IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Two IOP measurements were taken, followed by a third if the first 2 differed by 3 mmHg or more. The measurements were averaged. The study eye(s) is defined as an eye(s) that met IOP and IOP-lowering medication study inclusion criteria. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Time frame: Baseline (≤ 90 days Preoperative) to Month 12 (Postoperative)

Population: mITT Population included all eligible eyes that met IOP and IOP-lowering medication inclusion criteria and received the XEN45 implant. Number analyzed is the number of eyes with data at the given time-point.
