Study summary

The goals of this feasibility study are to learn more about the performance of the intraocular lens (IOL), if the IOL is safe for use, and what the best surgical techniques are for implanting the IOL in patients who require correction of aphakia following phacoemulsification extraction of a senile cataract.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults who are at least 21 years of age or older.
  • Scheduled to undergo primary intraocular lens implantation for the correction of aphakia following phacoemulsification extraction of a senile cataract.
  • Clear intraocular media other than cataract.
  • Potential visual acuity of 20/32 or better in both eyes after cataract removal and IOL implantation as determined by diagnostic testing or investigator's judgement.
  • Preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) worse than 20/40 either with or without a glare source present (e.g., Brightness Acuity Tester) or scheduled for cataract removal due to significant cataract-related symptoms/complaints.
  • Less than or equal to 1.0 diopter (D) of preoperative keratometric astigmatism.
  • In good general health at screening as determined by the investigator.
  • Signed written .
  • Availability, willingness, and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures and schedule.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Planned secondary procedures (such as LASIK) during the term of the study; Nd YAG capsulotomy is permitted.
  • Taking systemic medications that may confound the outcome or increase the risk to the subject.
  • Ocular conditions that may predispose for future complications.
  • Previous intraocular or corneal surgery that might confound the outcome of the investigation or increase the risk to the subject.
  • Pregnant, lactating during the course of the investigation, or with another condition associated with fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes.
  • Diagnosed degenerative visual disorders (e.g. macular degeneration or other retinal disorders) that are predicted to cause future CDVA loss worse than 20/40.
  • Any anterior segment pathology (anterior segment or corneal abnormalities, chronic uveitis, iritis, corneal dystrophy, pseudoexfoliation, etc.).
  • Glaucoma, glaucoma suspect or ocular hypertension, i.e., IOP > 22 mmHg.
  • Previous retinal detachment or retinal pathology, including age-related macular degeneration.
  • Diabetes, currently being treated systemically and with retinopathy.
  • Systemic or ocular disease that may prevent the patient from achieving CDVA of 20/32 or better post operatively.
  • Require chronic administration of any topical ophthalmic or systemic medication that may affect accommodation such as mydriatic, cycloplegic and myotic agents; tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, benzodiazepines, first generation antihistamines, anticholinergic agents.
  • CDVA of 20/32 or worse in the fellow eye not attributable to cataract.
  • Current participation in, or have participated in, an study, other than this study, within the previous 60 days before the operative day.
  • Previous ocular surgery in the operative eye, including refractive surgery.
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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rates of cumulative and persistent surgical related complications observed in the Adaptilens A-IOL implanted eyes, compared to threshold rates when adjusted for the type of pre-existing condition for which the subjects are being treated.

    Cumulative rates of cystoid macular edema, hypopyon, endophthalmitis, lens dislocated from posterior chamber, pupillary block, retinal detachment, secondary surgical intervention. Persistent rates of cornela edema at 3 months postop or later, cystoid macular edema, iritis, IOP \>30 mm Hg requiring treatment.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the study at 36 months.

  2. Effectiveness parameter corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) throughout the course of the study.

    Effectiveness parameter to be evaluated is improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA).

    Time frame: Enrollment through end of the study at 36 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) throughout the study.

    Improvement in uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) will be evaluated as a secondary measure of visual performance.

    Time frame: Enrollment through the end of the trial at 36 months.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2030, 51 months later.

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 planned 51 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 490 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 28.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 6, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
