Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PresVIEW™ Scleral Implant (PSI) for the improvement of near visual acuity in presbyopic patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: PresVIEW Scleral Implants
N/A

Detailed Description

The clinical investigation of the PresView™ Scleral Implant (PSI) is a prospective multicenter clinical trial in which a total of 330 subjects were enrolled and implanted with the PSI and followed for a period of 24 months at up to 14 clinical sites.

An additional randomized sub-study was performed on 48 subjects with the PSI Second Generation PresView™(SGP) implant, model number SGP-046. A 2:1 randomization was used to determine the 32 subjects assigned to be implanted and the 16 subjects assigned to the observation/deferred implantation control arm. Subjects randomized to the deferred implantation control arm were eligible to receive the PSI after completion of the 6 months of observation in the study.

All subjects interested in participating in the study were screened for eligibility, and informed consent was obtained from those who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eligible subjects were examined preoperatively to obtain a medical history and baseline ocular data.

Effectiveness: The following tests/measurements used to evaluate the effectiveness of the PSI procedure will be included in the study protocol:

  • Near visual acuity of the operated eye/eyes as compared with baseline (uncorrected and distance corrected)

  • Reading acuity of the operated eye/eyes as compared with baseline (uncorrected and distance corrected)

The PSI procedure will be defined as successful if a logMar equivalent to Snellen 20/40 or better (logMar 0.3) is achieved in ≥ 75% of patients or if 75% of patients realize an improvement ≥ 2 lines in distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA). For most patients, this will translate into the ability to read the majority of newspaper and magazine print without a near optical aid.

Safety: Primary safety outcomes for safety will include:
  • Incidence of anterior segment ischemia

  • Decrease in Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) of more than 2 lines from baseline at 1-month or more postoperatively

  • Decrease in best distance corrected near acuity (with add) of more than 2 lines from baseline at 1-month or more postoperatively

  • Intraocular Pressure (IOP) increase > 10mm Hg over baseline or IOP > 25mm Hg after 1 Day postoperative

  • Signs of chronic inflammation (e.g. uveitis or chronic conjunctival hyperemia) at 2 months or more postoperatively

  • Increase in axial length of ≥ 0.20mm accompanied by a > 0.5 diopter myopic shift in manifest spherical equivalent distance refraction.

  • Incidence of adverse events: total not to exceed 5%, and the incidence of each event should not exceed 1-2%

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details The prospective, multicenter clinical trial of the PresView Implant was conducted at 14 clinical sites. All recruitment evaluations were performed at the Principal Investigator's sites and subjects were screened for eligibility. If inclusion/exclusion criteria were met, informed consent was obtained and the subject was enrolled in the study.
Pre-assignment Detail Once determined eligible and informed consent was obtained, both eyes were enrolled in the study. Per protocol, primary outcome analysis must be performed on the primary eye only and the primary eye is therefore the unit of analysis. Fellow eyes were followed for safety outcomes and summarized separately.
Arm/Group Title PresVIEW Implantation - Non-Randomized PresVIEW Implantation - Randomized PresVIEW Deferred Implantation - Randomized
Arm/Group Description Subjects in the non-randomized arm of the study were bilaterally implanted and followed for 24 months. Per the protocol, primary endpoint analysis was performed on the primary eye (only). Fellow eyes were followed for safety and summarized separately A randomized sub-study was used to evaluate the early (6 Month) effectiveness of the PresVIEW™ Scleral Implants against a deferred control group (no treatment). Subjects in the randomized sub-study that were randomly assigned to the immediate treatment (surgical) group were bilaterally implanted and followed for 24 months. Pre-operative, 3 month and 6 month post-operative visual acuity for the primary eye was compared to the differed treatment group primary eye visual acuity results. Thirty-two subjects of the total 48 subjects participating in the randomized sub-study, were randomly assigned to receive immediate surgery. Subjects in the randomized sub-study that were randomly assigned to the deferred treatment (control) group were bilaterally implanted after 6 months observation and followed for 24 months post-op. Sixteen subjects of the total 48 subjects participating in the randomized sub-study were randomly assigned to the control group and followed for 6 months prior to surgery (observation). These patients will provide additional informed consent for implantation and their results will be included in the total patient cohort for the PSI SGP-046. Total study participation will be either 6 months (if they did not elect treatment after 6 months observation), or 30 months (6 months observation + 24 months post-operative) if they elected treatment. The observation period included follow-up visits for Day 0 (baseline), 3 months, and 6 months for the randomized sub-study and visual acuity for the primary eye was compared to the immediate treatment group primary eye visual acuity for analysis.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Explanted primary eyes were analyzed as failures. Data for primary eyes that missed the 24 month visit, were lost to follow-up, or withdrew consent prior to the 24 month visit were not imputed. Per protocol, primary outcome analysis must be performed on the primary eye only. Fellow eye data is used for safety outcomes and summarized separately.

Arm/Group Description A total of 330 subjects at 11 sites received implantation of the PSI and were followed for 24 months post surgical. As per the protocol, the primary eye is the unit of analysis and was used for primary endpoint analysis. Fellow eyes were followed for safety and summarized separately. The primary eyes of subjects participating in the randomized sub-study were analyzed separately, though, they were also considered part of the overall study if they received implantation of the PSI.
