Research summary
Research Summary
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Allotex TransForm corneal allograft (TCA) for improving near vision in presbyopic subjects.
Patients previously implanted with the Allotex TCA will undergo a single, non-invasive examination visit to assess the safety and effectiveness of the inlay four years after implantation.

Study description: The TCA is indicated for intrastromal implantation to provide near vision in the non-dominant eye of presbyopic patients. A maximum of 101 eyes of qualified and consented subjects who previously participated in the PRO_010 study were enrolled under a separate protocol, PRO_010-2023, to explore the durability of treatment and the long-term safety of the implant 4 to 5 years after implantation.
Study results: The long-term study outcomes did not identify new or major risks that were previously unidentified. The most frequent adverse event was loss of best corrected acuity at distance and/or near greater than two lines, occurring in 22.5% (16/71) of subjects. Importantly, both best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) and best corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) were 20/40 or better in all subjects. Seven of the 16 subjects had concurrent lens opacities noted during slit lamp examination. Five of the 16 subjects had Tear break-up time (TBUT) less than 5 seconds, which is associated with decreased vision.
Conclusion: In summary, the results of the long-term study support a favorable safety profile to perform further clinical evaluation of the TCA corneal allograft under a feasibility protocol utilizing learnings from this PRO_010/PRO_010-2023 study cohort.
No further research is planned.
