Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Hydrus Microstent in patients with refractory open-angle glaucoma.

Detailed description

Participants will attend a screening visit, a baseline visit, a surgery visit, and 8 post-operative visits (Day 1, Day 7, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12), for a total individual duration of approximately 14 months.

Interventions

Device implanted into the Schlemm's canal of the eye to provide a natural outflow pathway for aqueous humor, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). The Hydrus Microstent is intended for lifetime use of the glaucoma patient.

Implantation of the Hydrus Microstent performed under either local or topical ophthalmic anesthesia

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Subjects With Greater Than or Equal to a 20 Percent Decrease From Baseline in Mean Diurnal Intraocular Pressure (MDIOP) at Month 12 While Maintaining the Same or Fewer Number of Medications as at BaselineBaseline, Month 12Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldmann Applanation tonometry. Three separate IOP measurements were taken over an 8-hour period and averaged together to achieve mean diurnal intraocular pressure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline in MDIOP at Month 12Baseline, Month 12Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldmann Applanation tonometry and recorded in millimeters mercury (mmHG). Three separate IOP measurements were taken over an 8-hour period and averaged together to achieve mean diurnal intraocular pressure. A negative number represents a reduction from baseline. For non-responders, data was imputed as specified in the protocol. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this outcome measure.

Recruitment details

Participants were recruited from 20 investigative sites located in the United States (16), Philippines (1), Spain (1), United Kingdom (1), and Colombia (1).

Pre-assignment details

Of the 217 subjects who signed an informed consent, 117 were exited from the study prior to attempted implantation as screen failures. This reporting group includes all subjects for whom a Hydrus Microstent was implanted or implantation was attempted (100) (Safety Analysis Population).

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Subjects With Greater Than or Equal to a 20 Percent Decrease From Baseline in Mean Diurnal Intraocular Pressure (MDIOP) at Month 12 While Maintaining the Same or Fewer Number of Medications as at Baseline

Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldmann Applanation tonometry. Three separate IOP measurements were taken over an 8-hour period and averaged together to achieve mean diurnal intraocular pressure.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 12

Population: Effectiveness Population: All subjects who undergo the Hydrus implantation surgery and are not discontinued early from the study due to unrelated reasons such as death or relocation. For non-responders, data was imputed as specified in the protocol. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this outcome measure.
