ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare cataract surgery with implantation of a Schlemm canal microstent with cataract surgery alone for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use after 24 months.DESIGN:
Prospective, multicenter, single-masked, randomized controlled trial.PARTICIPANTS:
Subjects with concomitant primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), visually significant cataract, and washed-out modified diurnal IOP (MDIOP) between 22 and 34 mmHg.METHODS:
Subjects were randomized 21 to receive a single Hydrus Microstent (Ivantis, Inc, Irvine, CA) in the Schlemm canal or no stent after uncomplicated phacoemulsification. Comprehensive eye examinations were conducted 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively. Medication washout and MDIOP measurement were repeated at 12 and 24 months. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
The primary and secondary effectiveness end points were the proportion of subjects demonstrating a 20% or greater reduction in unmedicated MDIOP and change in mean MDIOP from baseline at 24 months, respectively. Hypotensive medication use was tracked throughout the course of follow-up. Safety measures included the frequency of surgical complications and adverse events.RESULTS:
A total of 369 eyes were randomized after phacoemulsification to Hydrus Microstent (HMS) and 187 to no microstent (NMS). At 24 months, unmedicated MDIOP was reduced by ≥20% in 77.3% of HMS group eyes and in 57.8% of NMS group eyes (difference = 19.5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.2%-27.8%, P < 0.001). The mean reduction in 24-month unmedicated MDIOP was -7.6±4.1 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation) in the HMS group and -5.3±3.9 mmHg in the NMS group (difference = -2.3 mmHg; 95% CI, -3.0 to -1.6; P < 0.001). The mean number of medications was reduced from 1.7±0.9 at baseline to 0.3±0.8 at 24 months in the HMS group and from 1.7±0.9 to 0.7±0.9 in the NMS group (difference = -0.4 medications; P < 0.001). There were no serious ocular adverse events related to the microstent, and no significant differences in safety parameters between the 2 groups.CONCLUSIONS:
This 24-month multicenter randomized controlled trial demonstrated superior reduction in MDIOP and medication use among subjects with mild-to-moderate POAG who received a Schlemm canal microstent combined with phacoemulsification compared with phacoemulsification alone.
