54 Glaucoma Trials

Power is an online platform that helps thousands of Glaucoma patients discover FDA-reviewed trials every day. Every trial we feature meets safety and ethical standards, giving patients an easy way to discover promising new treatments in the research stage.

Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness. The inability to predict a patient's IOP response to medications is a critical barrier for the clinician to consistently provide highly effective IOP-based treatments. Current trial-and-error approaches to glaucoma management are inefficient and have not addressed this barrier as there are no predictive factors for drug response. Our long-term goal is to improve outcomes by identifying biomarkers and environmental factors that profile a patient at risk for glaucoma by age-of-onset, rate of disease progression, "poor response" to treatment, and large IOP fluctuation. Our purpose of this research project is to address this critical barrier by focusing on physiological factors that predict IOP response to drugs.

This trial tests a long-lasting eye medication called Bimatoprost SR. It is for people with certain eye conditions who can't use regular eye drops effectively. The medication works by helping fluid drain from the eye, reducing pressure. Bimatoprost has been widely used for glaucoma management, typically delivered via eye drops, but newer methods like sustained-release implants are being explored to improve efficiency.

This trial is evaluating the placement and effects of a tiny device called the Hydrus Microstent in patients having cataract surgery. The device helps drain fluid from the eye to reduce pressure. The study will monitor patients over time to see how well the device works and if there are any issues. The Hydrus Microstent is designed to increase fluid drainage from the eye and lower eye pressure.

This trial will investigate if medical cannabis can effectively reduce pain and improve quality of life for patients with chronic conditions. The study will gather data through an online questionnaire about patients' use of cannabis and its effects. Medical cannabis interacts with the body's natural system to help manage pain and other symptoms. Medical cannabis has been increasingly studied and used as an alternative treatment for managing chronic pain, with numerous studies supporting its potential benefits.

This study will test whether the Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) personalized Glaucoma Coaching Program improves eye drop medication adherence among glaucoma patients compared to enhanced standard care in a randomized controlled clinical trial. As a secondary outcome, the study will test whether glaucoma related distress decreases among SEE program participants compared to the control group. The study hypothesis is that glaucoma patients with poor adherence who receive motivational-interviewing based counseling and personalized education from a trained non-physician glaucoma coach through the SEE Program will improve their medication adherence compared to glaucoma patients standard care enhanced by additional educational handouts.

Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the world, second only to cataracts. This study will assess how safe and effective a glaucoma gel stent is when implanted using the ab externo approach. Adverse events and intraocular pressure will be assessed. XEN45 is an approved device for the treatment of glaucoma implanted using the ab interno approach (inside the eye). XEN45 implanted using the ab externo approach (outside the eye) is being studied in this study. Approximately 65 participants aged 45 years or older with open-angle glaucoma will be enrolled in this study at approximately 22 sites in the United States. All participants will receive XEN45 implanted using the ab externo approach on Day 1 and will be followed for 12 months. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety and effect of the gel stent on your glaucoma will be checked by medical assessments and eye examinations.

The goal of this electronic feasibility clinical trial study is to evaluate the effects of breathing and meditation techniques on stress levels in patients with glaucoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does breathing and meditation decrease the level of stress in glaucoma patients? * Does breathing and meditation improve disease specific quality of life in glaucoma patients * Does breathing and meditation affect the importance that in glaucoma patients place on future consequences? Participants will participate in online session where they will be taught proper breathing and meditation technique to practice. They will also be completing online questionnaires following independent practice sessions over time. Researchers will compare the breathing and meditation group to the usual care group to see if the outcomes are different.

This clinical trial, led by Dr. Enitan A. Sogbesan at the Hamilton Regional Eye Clinic, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, aims to compare the efficacy and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketorolac alone versus a combination of ketorolac and the corticosteroid fluorometholone, and a control group receiving no postoperative treatment. The trial will evaluate these treatment strategies following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with open-angle glaucoma. The primary objective is to determine the most effective postoperative management strategy to reduce inflammation, improve patient comfort, and control intraocular pressure (IOP). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups, with follow-up visits scheduled at 1 hour, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year post-SLT. The study's findings aim to guide clinicians in optimizing postoperative care for better patient outcomes.

Basic Study Design: Prospective, randomized, single-center, single-blinded study to compare dysphotopsias and pain recollection immediately 2 weeks, and 3 months after LPI in PACS patients who have a clear indication for bilateral LPI. Our null hypothesis is that there is no difference in dysphotopsia or pain levels by LPI position. Our alternate hypothesis is that there are more dysphotopsias superiorly and more pain temporally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Glaucoma clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Glaucoma clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Glaucoma trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Glaucoma is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Glaucoma medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Glaucoma clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added System-Level Intervention for Visual Impairment, Patient Navigator Intervention for Vision Impairment or Blindness and Auto-aligned OCT for Eye Disorders to the Power online platform.
