Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will be a 3-phase, 12-months, prospective,single arm, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, clinical investigation conducted at up to 7 sites. Up to 20 subjects will be enrolled in phase I, up to 30 subjects in phase II, and up to 200 subjects in phase 3 to achieve up to 350 treated eyes.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Cheetah System
N/A

Detailed Description

Phase I will be used to evaluate performance (safety, ease of lenticule removal, procedure workflow, and software settings). During phase I (limited to partially sighted eyes as defined in the inclusion section), one eye of each subject will undergo iLEX treatment and the fellow eye may undergo a commercial refractive correction at the discretion of the investigator, provided there is at least 1.00 D of sphere refractive error based on manifest refraction. During phase I, treatment will be up to -11.00 D sphere with no astigmatism correction.

Phase II will be used to evaluate initial safety and effectiveness. During phase II, no astigmatism correction will be performed unless cyclotorsion correction after docking is available. For the first 10 subjects in phase II, iLEX treatment will be performed on one eye (worse eye) and approximately 1 week later, if treatment is warranted, on the fellow eye. Prior to second eye treatment in the first 10 subjects, subjects will be asked if they have any eye disturbances and whether they are willing to have their second eye treated in the study. Following eligible second eye treatment of the first 10 consecutive phase II subjects with no operative concerns by the investigator and medical monitor, subsequent phase II subjects may undergo iLEX treatment in both eyes on the same day.

Phase III will be used to evaluate long term safety and effectiveness (i.e., 12 months). During phase III, subjects may undergo iLEX treatment in both eyes on the same day.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cheetah System

For each subject, surgeons will create an iLEX refractive correction using the investigational Cheetah femtosecond laser and Cheetah patient interface (regular or small diameter designs) on one eye (phase I) and one/both eyes based on refractive correction needs (phases II and III).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Monocular Uncorrected Visual Acuity [1 month]

    Phase II and Phase III effectiveness endpoint. The proportion of eyes with each acuity line of Uncorrected Visual Acuity will be summarized at 1 month postoperative visit.

  2. maintenance of Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity [12 months]

    Phase II and III primary safety endpoint.The proportion of eyes with Best Spectacle Visual Acuity acuity line changes from preoperative visit will be summarized.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:

Note: All criteria apply to each Cheetah treated eye

  • Age ≥18 years old at the time of consenting.

  • Subjects with refractive error within the following ranges:

  • Phase I: Partially sighted eyes (as defined below)

  • Phase II: Refractive error range in the Cheetah-treated eye/s between -2.00 D to -6.00 D and astigmatism up to -1.00 D based on manifest refraction at optical infinity. If cyclotorsion correction after docking is available, astigmatism greater than -1. 00 D can be included, provided that spherical equivalent (SE) is up to -6.00 D.

  • Phase III: Myopic refractive error in the study eye up to -12.00 D spherical equivalent (SE) and astigmatism up to - 6.00 D based on manifest refraction at optical infinity.

  • Anticipated residual corneal stromal thickness of at least 250 microns based on preoperative corneal pachymetry minus maximum lenticule thickness to be extracted.

  • Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse in Phase II and III subjects.

  • Distance Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity (BSCVA) of 20/20 or better for phase II and III subjects. For phase I subjects, BSCVA and pin-hole acuity of the iLEX treated eye is worse than 20/50, with at least a 2-line difference between the iLEX treated eye and the fellow eye.

Note: Potential phase I subjects to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for interocular difference in visual acuity and enrollment to be confirmed through Medical Monitor and PI consensus.

  • BSCVA ≥2 lines better than distance Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA). Not applicable for phase I subjects.

  • Less than or equal to 0.75 D difference between cycloplegic and manifest refraction sphere. Not applicable for phase I subjects.

  • A stable refractive error (based on a previous exam, medical records, lensometry, or prescription at least 12 months prior to the preoperative manifest refraction), as defined by a change of ≤1.00 D in MRSE. Additionally, the astigmatic axis must also be within 15 degrees for eyes with >0.50 D of preoperative and historical manifest cylinder.

  • Any subject eye with a history of contact lens wear within the last 4 weeks must demonstrate refractive stability according to the following:

  • Rigid contact lenses (toric or spherical) must be removed for at least 4 weeks and soft contact lenses (toric or spherical) for at least 2 weeks prior to the first refraction used to establish stability.

  • Two consecutive manifest refractions and keratometry readings must be conducted at least 7 days apart.

  • Refractive stability is defined as a change of not more than 0.50 D in manifest refractive sphere and cylinder as well as keratometry meridian (either axis) between measurements. If the subject/eye meets the refractive stability criteria, contact lens wear is not permitted prior to surgery, as specified above for rigid and soft contact lens wearers.

  • Willing and capable of complying with follow-up examinations for the duration of the study.

  • Signed informed consent or equivalent documentation necessary to comply with applicable privacy laws pertaining to medical treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Note: All criteria apply to each eye

NOTE: The use of inhaled or systemic corticosteroids, whether chronic or acute, is deemed to adversely affect healing and subjects using such medications are specifically excluded from eligibility. History of any of the following medical conditions, or any other condition that could affect wound healing: collagen vascular disease, autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency diseases, ocular herpes zoster or herpes simplex, endocrine disorders (including, but not limited to unstable thyroid disorders), lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Note: For phase I subjects (partially sighted eyes), history of intraocular surgery (including cataract extraction), retinal detachment/repair, and clinically significant lens opacity is acceptable for inclusion in the study.

  • Evidence of glaucoma regardless of medication regimen or control, an IOP greater than 21 mmHg at screening or propensity for narrow angle glaucoma.

  • NOTE: Phase I subjects with end-stage glaucoma and completely extinguished visual field are eligible to participate in the study.

  • Known sensitivity or inappropriate responsiveness to any of the medications used in the postoperative course.

  • Either eye does not meet all inclusion criteria and does not fall within approved indications for treatment using femtosecond or excimer Laser. Not applicable for phase I subjects.

  • Desire for monovision correction. Not applicable for phase I subjects.
