Description

Summary

The objective of the PAS-01 study is to assess the safety of the intraocular as measured by the cumulative incidence of patients who within 5 years after implantation experience persistent vision-impairing corneal edema (corneal edema leading to persistent loss of best corrected distance visual acuity >2 lines from pre-surgery baseline level).

The study will test the null hypothesis that the percentage of patients who experience persistent vision-impairing corneal edema is >17% against the alternative that the percentage is <17%. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence integral for the observed percentage is <17%.

Official Title

Post-approval Study of VisionCare's Implantable Miniature Telescope (by Dr. Isaac Lipshitz) in Patients With Bilateral Severe to Profound Central Vision Impairment Assoc. With End-stage Age-related Macular Degeneration

Details

ECD sub-study. At investigative sites participating in the ECD Sub-Group study, corneal endothelial cell density will be measured by non-contact specular microscopy in a subgroup of 150 patients enrolled in the IMT-PAS-01 in the eye schedule for and implanted with the intraocular telescope at study entry, 3 months, 12, months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months.
