Trial Outcomes & Findings for WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser System for the Correction of Myopia Using InnovEyes™ in Conjunction With InnovEyes™ Sightmap (NCT NCT04219891)

NCT ID: NCT04219891

Last Updated: 2025-04-06

Results Overview

Visual acuity (VA) was assessed using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts at a distance of 4 meters and reported in Snellen, where 20/20 indicates normal distance eyesight. Preoperatively, VA was assessed with correction in place. Postoperatively, VA was assessed with no correction in place. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at Month 3 after surgery when compared with the Month 1 visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Refractive stability was considered to be achieved at the Month 3 visit. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint. This is a co-primary endpoint.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Preoperative Visit (Day -30 to Day -1), Month 1, Month 3

Population: FAS. Note: 1 eye was excluded from this analysis due to not having a preoperative best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) of 20/20 or better.

Visual acuity (VA) was assessed using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts at a distance of 4 meters and reported in Snellen, where 20/20 indicates normal distance eyesight. Preoperatively, VA was assessed with correction in place. Postoperatively, VA was assessed with no correction in place. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at Month 3 after surgery when compared with the Month 1 visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Refractive stability was considered to be achieved at the Month 3 visit. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint. This is a co-primary endpoint.

Timeframe: Month 1, Month 3

Population: FAS

A manifest refraction (manual refraction) was performed using a phoropter. The spherical equivalent was calculated by adding the sum of the sphere power with half of the cylinder power and reported in diopters. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at Month 3 after surgery when compared with the Month 1 visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Refractive Stability was considered to be achieved at the Month 3 visit. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis.

An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device (test product). Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at Month 3 after surgery when compared with the Month 1 visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Refractive stability was considered to be achieved at the Month 3 visit. A lower percentage indicates a better outcome. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis.
