Comparing two drainage implants for glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have glaucoma or high eye pressure that is not controlled with medication, with eye pressure of 16 mm Hg or higher
- You are scheduled to have a drainage implant (a small device placed in the eye to help fluid drain) as your surgery
- You have one of these types of glaucoma: ocular hypertension, primary open angle glaucoma, primary angle closure glaucoma, or secondary glaucoma
- You are not pregnant or nursing, and you are willing to be randomly assigned to one of the two implants

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
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 study tests a new gel implant (XEN63) to lower eye pressure in adults with open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if your eye pressure remains high despite using eye drops, or if you can't tolerate the drops.
