Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators hypothesize that intracameral Triesence during glaucoma surgery will provide lower intraocular pressure through better control of ocular inflammation, thus leading to a more successful filtering procedure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Determine the efficacy and safety of intracameral Triesence in patients who undergo trabeculectomy, tube shunt, or combined cataract extraction, intra-ocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy with or without adjunctive mitomycin-C.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment 1(Triesence)

glaucoma surgery with 0.2cc Triesence adjunct.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Triesence

Intervention Type DRUG

At end of standard glaucoma surgery and the anterior chamber is reformed with balanced salt solution or viscoelastic to an adequate intraocular pressure, 0.2cc of Triesence will be delivered into the anterior chamber through the previously created paracentesis wound.

Treatment 2 (balanced salt solution BSS)

glaucoma surgery with balanced salt solution, the standard technique.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

balanced salt solution BSS

Intervention Type DRUG

At end of standard glaucoma surgery, the anterior chamber is reformed with balanced salt solution or viscoelastic to an adequate intraocular pressure.
