AT ELANA 841P Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens for Correction of Aphakia Following Cataract Removal
United States284 participantsStarted 2024-07-12
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the full visual range AT ELANA 841P IOL when used to treat adult patients having cataract surgery. Subjects will be randomly selected to receive a pair of IOLs, either the AT ELANA 841P or CT LUCIA 621P lens design. All patients will undergo surgery in both eyes, and they will receive follow up care for up to 6-months. During this time, all patients will undergo thorough eye exams at every study visit and complete questionnaires about their quality of vision post-surgery.

Inclusion criteria
. Adults, 22 years of age or older at the time of study enrollment
. Bilateral cataractous lens changes as demonstrated by best corrected distance visual acuity of 0.30 logMAR (20/40) or worse either with or without a glare source present (e.g., Brightness Acuity Tester) for which phacoemulsification cataract extraction and posterior chamber IOL implantation is indicated
. Best corrected distance visual acuity projected to be better than 0.20 logMAR (better than 20/30) after cataract removal and IOL implantation
. Preoperative keratometric (corneal) astigmatism of 1.00 D or less (≤1.00 D) in both operative eyes
. Clear intraocular media other than cataract
. Contact lens wear is to be discontinued two (2) weeks for soft contact lenses both daily and extended wear; and ≥ 30 days for rigid gas permeable lenses prior to preoperative biometry and keratometry testing.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Calculated lens power within the available range
. Subject is willing to sign the IRB-approved informed consent form
Exclusion criteria
. Presence of systemic disease that could increase the operative risk or confound the outcome, including but not limited to diabetes mellitus, active cancer treatment, mental illness, dementia, immunocompromised, connective tissue disease, clinically significant atopic disease, etc.
. Ocular condition that may predispose for future complications, including but not limited to dry eye syndromes or symptoms, anterior segment pathology, glaucoma (uncontrolled despite intake of medication), history of cystoid macular edema, macular degeneration as confirmed by clinical examination and adjunct testing (e.g., OCT, FA)
. Clinically significant corneal abnormalities, including corneal dystrophy (epithelial, stromal or endothelial dystrophy), irregularity, inflammation or edema; conditions including but not limited to active/inactive keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis, kerato uveitis, keratopathy, keratectasia
. Previous intraocular or corneal surgery that might confound the outcome of the investigation or increase the risk to the subject, including corneal transplants, retinal detachment, glaucoma surgeries, refractive laser procedures including but not limited to LASIK, limbal relaxing incision, Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) etc.
. Use of or history of use of systemic medications with significant ocular side effects or any medications that could confound the outcome or increase subject risk (e.g., Tamsulosin Hydrochloride \[Flomax\] or other medications including anticholinergics or alpha-adrenergic blocking agents with similar side effects \[e.g., small pupil/floppy iris syndrome\], antimetabolites, etc.)
. Currently taking systemic steroids and/or planned on taking systemic steroids prior to operative visit and during the course of the investigation.
. Subjects with diagnosed degenerative visual disorders, including but not limited to macular degeneration or other retinal disorders (such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, retinal detachment) that are predicted to confound outcomes or to cause future acuity loss to 0.20 logMAR or worse.
. Subjects with conditions that increase the risk of zonular rupture (e.g., pseudoexfoliation syndrome, Marfan's syndrome) during cataract extraction procedure that may affect the postoperative centration or tilt of the IOL
