New implant combo aims to lower eye pressure without daily drops
NCT ID NCT06066645
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a travoprost drug implant (iDose TR) plus a tiny stent (iStent infinite) can lower eye pressure better than the implant alone in people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. About 150 adults will receive either the combo or a sham procedure and be followed for 12 months. The goal is to see if the combo provides a longer-lasting pressure drop.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Travoprost intraocular implant (iDose TR) plus iStent infinite device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective, long-lasting way to lower eye pressure and reduce the need for daily eye drops in glaucoma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 4 trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include eye irritation, infection, or the implant not working as expected.
Why investors are watching
Glaukos is testing whether its iStent infinite device, when added to its iDose TR implant, lowers eye pressure better than the implant alone in 150 people with open-angle glaucoma. For a small company whose value rests on its glaucoma product line, this 12-month randomized trial could shape how doctors combine its two flagship technologies.
If it works: A positive result could support wider use of iStent infinite alongside iDose TR, potentially strengthening Glaukos's position in the glaucoma treatment market and validating its combination approach.
If it fails: If the trial shows no added benefit from iStent infinite, or if safety issues emerge, Glaukos may face setbacks in marketing the combination. Trials fail often, and a null result could weaken confidence in the company's pipeline.

Inclusion Criteria: * diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension * qualifying IOP in the study eye Exclusion Criteria: * unmedicated (washed out) IOP of \>36 mmHg in the study eye * hypersensitivity to travoprost or any other components of the travoprost intraocular implant * vertical cup/disc ratio \> 0.8 in the study eye * best spectacle corrected visual acuity of worse than 20/80 in either eye * any ocular disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study
