Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | UT-DSAEK | Type of corneal transplant; Tissue grafts will be cut to the right thickness using a microkeratome prepared at the eye bank per standard eye bank protocol (about 60-90 microns thick). A 4 mm corneal incision will be used, with Endoserter as the means of inserting the graft, an FDA approved device for this purpose.~UT-DSAEK~Endoserter: The Endoserter, a corneal endothelium device, is an approved FDA device. This will be used to insert and position the graft into the anterior chamber during endothelial replacement surgery. It is a sterile, single-use instrument.~Prednisolone: Prednisolone is a corticosteroid used to alleviate swelling post-surgery.~Ofloxacin: Ofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the eye.~Tropicamide: Tropicamide is a prescription drug used to dilate pupils during an eye exam.~Phenylephrine: Phenylephrine is a prescription drug used to dilate pupils during an eye exam. | 0 | 25 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | DMEK | Type of corneal transplant; Endothelial grafts will be pre-peeled at the eyebank (70%). In the operating room the remaining 30% will be peeled, and the endothelium will be stained with trypan blue. A 3.5 mm corneal incision will be used and the graft will be inserted with a modified jones tube injector. The tap technique will be used to position the graft.~DMEK~Prednisolone: Prednisolone is a corticosteroid used to alleviate swelling post-surgery.~Ofloxacin: Ofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the eye.~Tropicamide: Tropicamide is a prescription drug used to dilate pupils during an eye exam.~Phenylephrine: Phenylephrine is a prescription drug used to dilate pupils during an eye exam.~Jones Tube: The Jones Tube will be used to insert the graft into a 3.5 mm corneal incision during endothelial replacement surgery. | 0 | 25 | EG001 |
