Trial Outcomes & Findings for Subconjunctival Versus Direct Mitomycin C in Trabeculectomy (NCT NCT04352660)

NCT ID: NCT04352660

Last Updated: 2020-07-02

Results Overview

Percentage of patients achieving at least a 30% mean intraocular pressure reductions from baseline and with an intraocular pressure \<21 mm Hg. Subjects that met this criteria without the use of intraocular pressure lowering medications were classified as "Complete Success." Subjects that met this criteria but required the use of intraocular pressure lowering medications were classified as "Qualified Success." Subjects that failed to meet this criteria were classified as "Failure." Subjects that failed to meet this criteria and required additional glaucoma surgery were classified as "Complete Failure."

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: 14 subjects in the Injection group were lost to follow up at the 6 month postoperative visit. 10 subjects from the Sponge group were lost to follow up at the 6 month postoperative visit.

Percentage of patients achieving at least a 30% mean intraocular pressure reductions from baseline and with an intraocular pressure \<21 mm Hg. Subjects that met this criteria without the use of intraocular pressure lowering medications were classified as "Complete Success." Subjects that met this criteria but required the use of intraocular pressure lowering medications were classified as "Qualified Success." Subjects that failed to meet this criteria were classified as "Failure." Subjects that failed to meet this criteria and required additional glaucoma surgery were classified as "Complete Failure."

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: In the injection group, 14 subjects were lost to follow up and 17 subjects did not undergo bleb assessments at 6 months.In the sponge group, 10 subjects were lost to follow up and 20 subjects did not undergo bleb assessments at 6 months.

Bleb morphology at 6 months was graded using Indiana Bleb Appearance Grading Scale. Bleb height was graded on a scale of 0 to 3 (0: flat bleb without visible elevation, 1: low bleb elevation, 2: moderate bleb elevation, 3: high bleb elevation). Bleb extent was graded on a scale of 0 to 3 (0: no visible bleb extent to less than 1 clock hour, 1: extent equal to or greater than 1 clock hour but less than 2 clock hours, 2: extent equal to or greater than 2 clock hours but less than 4 clock hours, 3: extent equal to or greater than 4 clock hours). Bleb vascularity was graded on a scale of 0 to 4 (0: avascular/white, 1: avascular/cystic, 2: mild vascularity, 3: moderate vascularity, 4: extensive vascularity). Scales are descriptive and do not necessarily represent better or worse outcomes.
