What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests a special lens implant that corrects cataracts, presbyopia (need for reading glasses), and astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea). The goal is to see if this lens stays stable in the eye and provides good vision at all distances. About 100 adults aged 45 and older with cataracts or presbyopia and significant astigmatism are taking part. The study compares their results to those from an earlier study on a similar lens.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female adults ages 45 years or older on the day of screening who have cataract(s) in one or both eyes or suffer from presbyopia; * Regular corneal astigmatism ≥0.75 dioptres (measured by an automatic keratometer or biometer) in one or both eyes; * Capability to understand and sign an IRB approved informed consent form and privacy authorization; * Clear intraocular media other than cataract; * Calculated IOL power is within the range of the study IOLs; * Dilated pupil size large enough to visualize IOL axis markings postoperatively; * Willing and able to conform to the study requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Regular corneal astigmatism \<0.75 dioptres (measured by an automatic keratometer or biometer) in both eyes * Irregular astigmatism; * Subjects with diagnosed degenerative visual disorders (e.g. macular degeneration or other retinal or optic disorders) that are predicted to cause future acuity losses to a level of 20/30 or worse; * Subjects with AMD suspicious eyes as determined by OCT examination; * Subjects who may be expected to require retinal laser treatment during the course of the study or at a greater risk of developing cystoid macular edema; * Previous intraocular or corneal surgery; * Traumatic cataract; * History or presence of macular edema; * Pregnant, lactating or, if able to bear children, unwilling to use medically acceptable birth control over the course of the study; * Concurrent or previous (within 30 days) participation in another drug or device investigation; * Instability of keratometry or biometry measurements; * Ocular hypertension or glaucoma; * Significant dry eye; * Unsuitable for study participation for any other reason, as determined by Investigator's clinical judgment (reason to be documented on eCRF).
