A study of a new glaucoma surgery for closed-angle glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery called GATT combined with goniosynechiolysis to treat glaucoma patients whose eye drainage angle is closed due to scarring. It aims to lower eye pressure when medicines alone aren't working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have glaucoma caused by the drainage angle in your eye being closed due to scarring (secondary synechial angle closure).
- The closed area covers more than half of your eye's drainage angle (over 180 degrees).
- Your eye pressure is still too high even with the strongest eye drop treatments, and you need surgery.
- You do not have primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
- You do not have glaucoma caused by new blood vessels (neovascular glaucoma).
- You do not have other eye problems like retinal disease, certain cornea issues, or need cataract surgery at the same time.

This study looks at people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand how surgeries and laser treatments affect long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict which treatments work best for different patients.
This trial studies a new tube-shunt surgery (SCTSC) against the standard trabeculectomy for people with open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops. It is only for people who have already had cataract surgery.
This trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
This trial tests a modified trabeculectomy (a type of glaucoma surgery) for people whose earlier combined cataract and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (GATT) did not work well.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery—trabeculectomy versus a different procedure that also opens the drainage angle—for people with advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma. It aims to see which surgery controls eye pressure and preserves vision better.
This study compares two devices used during a combined cataract and glaucoma surgery (goniotomy). If you have open-angle glaucoma and are already planning cataract surgery, this trial may help your doctor choose the best tool for you.
