Keywords

CyPass Micro-Stent

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the rate of clinically relevant complications associated with CyPass Micro-Stent placement and stability using the CyPass 241-S applier, as determined at 36 months in the postmarket setting, is less than the pre-specified performance target, which is based on experience with the CyPass Model E applier in COMPASS trial TMI-09-01 (NCT01085357).

Detailed description

Each subject's expected participation in the study is up to 37.5 months which includes up to 42 days between the screening and surgery visits, and 36 months of post-surgery follow-up. Only one eye per subject will be implanted.

Interventions

DEVICECyPass Micro-Stent implanted with CyPass 241-S applier

CyPass System (Model 241-S) consists of the CyPass Micro-Stent contained in a loading device (loader) and the CyPass applier.The CyPass Micro-Stent is an implantable medical device intended for long term use.

PROCEDURECataract surgery

Cataract surgery, followed by implantation of the CyPass Micro-Stent in one eye (the study eye) at the surgery visit

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants were enrolled at 20 investigative sites located in the United States. Due to the CyPass voluntary global market withdrawal, enrollment was permanently suspended for this study starting 29 August 2018.

Pre-assignment details

Of the 79 enrolled, 36 subjects were exited from the study prior to attempted implantation with the CyPass Micro-Stent. This reporting group includes all subjects with attempted implantation (43). Only one eye per subject was implanted.
