Study summary

Prospective, non-randomised, open, controlled, single-center post-market clinical follow study about Micropure 1.2.3 IOL.

Read the detailed description

This clinical investigation is a prospective, non-randomised, open, controlled, single-center post-market clinical follow whereby study patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have bilateral implantation of monofocal intraocular lenses Micropure 1.2.3. (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium)

The study purpose is to obtain clinical data on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity on patients implanted with Micropure 1.2.3.

The device under investigation (Micropure 1.2.3.) is a monofocal glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) manufactured by the sponsor of this study PhysIOL sa/nv. The IOL will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development.

In total 50 patients will be recruited for this clinical study and receive a bilateral implantation of Micropure 1.2.3. intraocular lens.

Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 8 study visits (1 preoperative, 2 operative and 5 postoperative) over a period of 2 Years.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Other outcomes

  1. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement

    A questionnaire will be handed out to the surgeon right after the surgery to document the ease of use and possible issues during IOL implantation. These data will be used to compare the outcomes to different surgery techniques or injectors. The questionnaire is not validated and the outcomes serve only for the sponsor to receive feedback if one or the other IOL is easier to implant.

    Time frame: peroperative

  3. Keratometry

    Keratometric measurements are performed to calculate the required IOL power

Ran from May 2018 to primary completion in Jul 2021, 38 months.

Of 190 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Cataract, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 28. This study's 38 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 493 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 29.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
