Purpose
Collating results from the iTrack Global Data Registry (iTGDR), this study aims to investigate efficacy and safety of ab-interno canaloplasty in reducing IOP and number of medications across all grades of glaucoma severity and types of glaucoma.
Setting
Cloud-based International Glaucoma Surgery Registry (IGSR).
Methods
Prospective multicenter cloud-based database (iTGDR, part of the International Glaucoma Surgery Registry - IGSR), real-world study including glaucoma patients undergoing canaloplasty with the iTrack or iTrack Advance canaloplasty device (Nova Eye Inc., Fremont, USA). Mean reduction in IOP and number of medications (meds) were the primary endpoints and eyes were grouped based on baseline glaucoma severity (early, moderate, severe, advanced) and glaucoma type.
Results
313 eyes have been enrolled up to March 2023. IOP for primary OAG at baseline and 6 months post-op were 17.5±5.5 and 13.1±3.4 (25% reduction), and meds were 2.2±1.2 and 1.5±1.3 (n=220) respectively. IOP for secondary OAG was 19.6±5.9 and 13 and meds (34% reduction) were 1.8±0.9 and 0.3±0.6 (n=19). IOP for ocular hypertension was 21.9±8.4 and 16.6±2.6 (24% reduction) and meds were 1.3±1.1 and 1±1.4 (n=27). IOP for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) was 21.3±6.4 and 13.1±3.7 (38.5% reduction) and meds were 1.9±1.5 and 1±1.2 (n=41). Based on stage: IOP for early, moderate, severe and advanced groups at baseline was 17.8±4.8 (n=138), 17.4±5.8 (n=45), 15.1±4 (n=19) and 17.1±6.8 (n=16) and at 6 months 13.9±3.9, 13.1±3.1, 11.5±2.3 and 11.1±2.5
Conclusions
Ab-interno canaloplasty could effectively reduce IOP and medications use across all types and stages of glaucoma.
