Study Summary

Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the world, second only to cataracts. This study will assess how safe and effective a glaucoma gel stent is when implanted using the ab interno (inside the eye) and ab externo (outside the eye) approach. Adverse events and intraocular pressure will be assessed.

XEN63 is an investigational device for the treatment of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma when both medical and conventional surgical treatments have failed (for US approval) and when medical treatments have failed (for outside US [OUS] approval). Participants will be placed in one of two groups called study arms. One group will receive the XEN63 gel stent ab interno (inside the eye) and the other group will receive the XEN63 gel stent ab externo (outside the eye). Approximately 130 participants aged 45 years or older with glaucoma will be enrolled in this study at approximately 32 sites in select countries in North America and Europe.

Participants will receive XEN63 implanted using either the ab interno approach or the ab externo approach on Day 1 and will be followed for 12 months.

Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety and effect of the gel stent on your glaucoma will be checked by medical assessments and eye examinations.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of glaucoma in the study eye (SE) (meeting criterion a or b)
  1. That meets the following refractory glaucoma criteria of eyes diagnosed withglaucoma uncontrolled by maximal medical therapy (four or more classes ofintraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications, or fewer in cases where it hasbeen documented that certain medication classes cannot be tolerated or arecontraindicated), and failed one or more incisional intraocular glaucomasurgeries (e.g., glaucoma filtering surgery, tube shunt)

  2. Uncontrolled by medical therapy (to meet out-of-US [OUS] requirements) withparticipants who only have glaucoma uncontrolled by medical therapy (non-refractory glaucoma), a maximum of 10 participants who meet only criterionb (and not a) will be enrolled in each cohort.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of angle-closure glaucoma where the angle has not been surgically opened inthe SE.

  • History of secondary open-angle glaucoma (e.g., neovascular, pigmentary,pseudoexfoliative, uveitic, angle recession/traumatic glaucoma, etc.) in the SE.

  • Active inflammation (e.g., blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis) in theSE.
