A Prospective Randomized Comparative Multicenter Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of the Transcend CyPass Glaucoma Implant in Patients with Open Angle Glaucoma Undergoing Cataract Surgery (THE COMPASS TRIAL)
Study on Lowering Eye Pressure in Patients with Glaucoma Undergoing Cataract Surgery
Brief description of study.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CyPass Implant in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous eyes in conjunction with cataract surgery, as compared to eyes treated with cataract surgery alone.
Detailed description of study
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CyPass Implant in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous eyes in conjunction with cataract surgery, as compared to eyes treated with cataract surgery alone.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Cataracts
-
Age: 45 years - 100 years
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the effectiveness of an investigational implant in reducing eye pressure for patients with glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery. Glaucoma is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal, which can lead to vision problems if not managed.
Participants will undergo cataract surgery, with some receiving the investigational implant while others will have the surgery alone. The study aims to compare the outcomes between these two study arms to assess the safety and effectiveness of the implant.
- Who can participate: Participants must be adults diagnosed with glaucoma and eligible for cataract surgery. Other specific eligibility criteria include age 18 and over, and no previous eye surgery.
- Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational implant during cataract surgery or undergo cataract surgery alone. The study will compare outcomes between these two approaches. A placebo is not used in this study as the comparison is between surgery with and without the implant.
