In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ExPRESS shunt and trabeculectomy for Glaucoma. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Prospective randomized study comparing guarded Ex-PRESS to trabeculectomy. Primary outcome: IOP and success (complete success defined as IOP between 5-18 mmHg and 20% reduction from baseline without medication or additional glaucoma surgery and qualified success defined as IOP between 5-18 mmHg and 20% reduction from baseline with or without glaucoma medication but no additional glaucoma surgery).
