Comparing two glaucoma stents with or without amniotic membrane
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether two types of tiny drainage stents (PreserFlo and XEN) work safely to lower eye pressure in glaucoma. Some patients will also receive an amniotic membrane (a thin tissue that helps healing) during the surgery, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are already scheduled for a PreserFlo microshunt or XEN stent procedure (these are tiny drainage tubes placed in the eye to lower pressure), with or without cataract surgery
- You are able to understand the study procedures and give consent
- You have not had certain previous eye surgeries such as a trabeculectomy or tube shunt
- You are not pregnant or nursing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares three different tissues used to cover the tiny drainage device implanted during glaucoma surgery to prevent scarring. It aims to find which tissue works best to keep eye pressure low over time.
This study compares two types of eye surgery to lower pressure in the eye from glaucoma. It aims to find which surgery works better for people having their first glaucoma operation.
This trial tests a new suture method during glaucoma surgery with the Preserflo device to reduce the risk of low eye pressure after the operation. It may help people with certain types of glaucoma who need surgery because their eye pressure is not controlled by medications.
This study compares a glaucoma drainage device approach to see which one better prevents loss of corneal cells after surgery. You may benefit by receiving close monitoring around the time of glaucoma surgery and helping doctors improve surgical choices.
This study compares two different devices (MINIject® and Hydrus® Microstent) used in microinvasive glaucoma surgery, both done at the same time as cataract surgery. It aims to find which one works better at lowering eye pressure.
This study compares two types of drainage implants (Baerveldt and Paul) to see which one works better at lowering eye pressure in people with glaucoma. If your glaucoma is not controlled with eye drops or other treatments, this trial may help find a more effective option.
