Evaluating the safety and effectiveness of iDose TR with cataract surgery
Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-masked, Parallel Group Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of iDose® TR (Travoprost Intracameral Implant) in Conjunction With Cataract Surgery vs. Cataract Surgery Alone
Run by Glaukos Corporation · NCT06848946 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if adding the iDose TR implant during cataract surgery can safely lower eye pressure better than just having cataract surgery alone for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with clinically significant age-related cataracts and a diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active corneal inflammation, edema, or retinal disorders not associated with glaucoma may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This trial assesses the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effects of the iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) when administered during cataract surgery compared to cataract surgery alone. It is a Phase 4 randomized, double-masked, parallel group trial involving patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The study aims to determine if the combination of iDose TR and cataract surgery provides better outcomes than cataract surgery by itself.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve IOP management in patients undergoing cataract surgery who have glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar approaches, but the specific combination of iDose TR with cataract surgery is relatively novel.
