XEN45 Gel Stent for Open-Angle Glaucoma

Phase 3
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by AbbVie
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Have neovascular glaucoma
Have any other condition (e.g., conjunctival scarring, uveitis) in which a conventional incisional glaucoma surgery like trabeculectomy would be more likely to fail than for a person with uncomplicated primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
Must not have
A lack of healthy conjunctiva showing free mobility (free of scarring or evidence of prior surgery) in the target area
Excessive intraoperative bleeding, such that visualization in the study eye is impaired
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up month 12

Summary

This trial will help assess the safety and effectiveness of a glaucoma gel stent when implanted using the ab externo approach.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 45 or older with open-angle glaucoma who've had unsuccessful previous glaucoma surgeries, such as filtering surgery or tube shunt. It's also for those with conditions like conjunctival scarring or uveitis where standard surgery might fail. Participants should not have eye anatomy that limits the view of certain areas, excessive bleeding during operation, scarred conjunctiva in the target area, or other complications affecting stent placement.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of a XEN45 Glaucoma Gel Stent implanted using an ab externo approach (outside the eye). All participants will receive this treatment on Day 1 and be monitored over 12 months through regular hospital visits to assess changes in intraocular pressure and overall impact on their glaucoma condition.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common risks associated with similar procedures may include discomfort at the implant site, infection risk, potential vision changes or loss if complications occur. Regular medical assessments aim to monitor these adverse events throughout the study.
