Comparing Two Glaucoma Drainage Devices
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two different tiny drainage devices (a gel stent and a microshunt) for lowering eye pressure in people with certain types of glaucoma that are not well controlled with medications. The goal is to see which device works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 40 years old.
- You have a specific type of glaucoma: primary open-angle, normal-tension, pigmentary, or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.
- Your eye pressure is not controlled well with maximum eye drops or other medications.
- You have not had previous glaucoma surgery (like a shunt or laser) in the last 3 months, or other eye surgery on the white part of the eye.
- You are not currently using steroid eye drops or steroids by mouth.

This trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery to see which one works better for people with specific kinds of open-angle glaucoma whose eye pressure isn't controlled by eye drops or laser.
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.
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.
This trial compares two glaucoma operations to see which works better at lowering eye pressure and keeping the eye stable. It’s for adults with open-angle glaucoma who are eligible for either surgery and can attend follow-up visits.
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 trial tests a new gel stent (XEN63) to lower eye pressure in adults with glaucoma. It compares two ways of putting the stent in the eye, and may help people who have not had success with other treatments.
