Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of XEN-45 to trabeculectomy in participants with open angle glaucoma refractory to topical medical therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, prospective, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the ability of XEN-45 to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduce the amount of topical IOP-lowering medications in participants poorly controlled on topical therapy. The planned study duration is 12 months. Participants were to be screened for enrollment and eligible candidates were to be approached to ascertain interest in study participation. Eligible participants were to be randomized 2:1; resulting in approximately 95 eyes implanted with XEN-45 and 44 eyes received trabeculetomy by study end.

  44. Patient-reported Outcomes (PRO): Change From Baseline in Symptom and Health Problem Checklist (SHPC-18) Scores

    The SHPC-18 is an 18-item questionnaire that asks participants being treated for glaucoma questions about eye symptoms or problems they may experience. There are two domains: Local Eye Symptoms (7 items) subscale score 0 to 700 divided by 7 and Visual Function Problem (11 items) subscale score 0 to 1100 divided by 11. The scores of each subscale ranges from from 0 (not at all) to 100 (a lot); higher scores indicate more bother. A frequency score was calculated by summing the individual response scores of each item, and ranges from 0 to 7 for Local Eye Symptom and from 0 to 11 for Visual Function. A total bothersome score for the SHPC-18 is calculated by summing all 18 items scores, resulting in a range from 0 to 1800, then dividing the sum by 18, to create a total bothersome score ranging from 0 (not at all) to 100 (a lot); higher scores indicate more bother. A negative change from Baseline for all scales and subscales indicates improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline (Preoperative) to Month 6

  45. PRO: Percentage of Participants With Post-Surgical Resumption of Activities and Daily Routine

  46. PRO: Percent Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Percent Overall Work Impairment Due to Health

    WPAI-General Health (GH) is 6-question participant rated questionnaire to determine the amount of absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss and daily activity impairment attributable to general health. It yields 5 sub-scores: hours actually worked, work time missed due to health impairment while working, impairment while working due to health, overall work impairment due to health, activity impairment due to health. These sub-scores are transformed to impairment percentages (range from 0 to 100), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) With Current Glasses

BCVA was performed using a Snellen eye chart with glasses, and the BCVA data collected in the visual acuity electronic case report form (eCRF) page was analyzed. The number of lines read correctly was assessed as the line change from baseline at each follow-up evaluation and were log transformed. A logMAR value of 0 equates to 20/20 Snellen visual acuity (normal distance eyesight), with a lower and negative logMAR value indicating better visual acuity.

SecondaryPatient-reported Outcomes (PRO): Change From Baseline in Symptom and Health Problem Checklist (SHPC-18) Scores

The SHPC-18 is an 18-item questionnaire that asks participants being treated for glaucoma questions about eye symptoms or problems they may experience. There are two domains: Local Eye Symptoms (7 items) subscale score 0 to 700 divided by 7 and Visual Function Problem (11 items) subscale score 0 to 1100 divided by 11. The scores of each subscale ranges from from 0 (not at all) to 100 (a lot); higher scores indicate more bother. A frequency score was calculated by summing the individual response scores of each item, and ranges from 0 to 7 for Local Eye Symptom and from 0 to 11 for Visual Function. A total bothersome score for the SHPC-18 is calculated by summing all 18 items scores, resulting in a range from 0 to 1800, then dividing the sum by 18, to create a total bothersome score ranging from 0 (not at all) to 100 (a lot); higher scores indicate more bother. A negative change from Baseline for all scales and subscales indicates improvement.

WPAI-General Health (GH) is 6-question participant rated questionnaire to determine the amount of absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss and daily activity impairment attributable to general health. It yields 5 sub-scores: hours actually worked, work time missed due to health impairment while working, impairment while working due to health, overall work impairment due to health, activity impairment due to health. These sub-scores are transformed to impairment percentages (range from 0 to 100), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.
