Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of simultaneous injection of Bevacizumab and Mitomycin on intraocular pressure after Ahmed glaucoma Valve (AGV) surgery and determination of relative and complete success in each group
Design
In this RCT study, 30 eyes of 30 patients in each group are examined. In this study, patients with maximal uncontrollable glaucoma and are candidates for shunt are divided into patients into two groups by block randomization: Patients receiving concomitant AGV with bevacizumab and mitomycin, patients Who do not take medication with AGV.
Settings and conduct
After surgery, patients are followed up for one week, four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, three months and six months. After the operation, in order to evaluate the results of success in the operation, they will be divided into two complete and relative groups. The examiner does not know and will not know about the injectable drug. The single blind method is followed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with maximal uncontrollable glaucoma are candidates for shunting. Exclusion criteria: age under 18 years old; secondary neovascular glaucoma due to tumor or uveitis; follow-up less than 6 months; previous shunt devices; simultaneous injection of bevacizum in vitro IVB; non-diabetic individuals with a history of failed trabeculectomy.
Intervention groups
Patients are divided into two groups by randomization block method; patients receiving concomitant administration of bevacizumab and mitomycin with AGV and patients not receiving medication with AGV.
Main outcome variables
Intraocular pressure after AGV surgery

Randomization description
Limited Randomization Method We will use block randomization The randomization tool is also used from sequence generation software, which is Random allocation software, random sequence generation software, in addition to simple randomization, is capable of generating random sequence by block method. In order to conceal, we use allocation concealment, which refers to the method used to perform a random sequence on the study participants, so that the allocated group is not known before the allocation of the individual. By using opaque letter envelopes sealed with a random sequence (Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes), in this method, each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card, and the cards are placed inside the letter envelopes in order They are placed. In order to maintain a random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the letter envelopes is glued and placed in a box. At the time of starting the registration of participants, based on the order in which eligible participants entered the study, one of the envelopes will be opened and the assigned group of that participant will be revealed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The method of blinding or covering a single blind is followed. In this method, the trial is planned in such a way that the participant does not know which of the two control or test groups she belongs to.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: to insert the AGV (scleral patch graft, scleral tunnel), the conjunctiva is cut 4 mm away from the limbus in the upper outer quadrant. 20 mg of triamcinolone is injected under the tendon around it and fixed to the sclera with 2 sutures with 0-0 silk thread. The AGV tube enters the anterior chamber from 2 mm of the limbus, so that 1-2 mm of it is inside the anterior chamber.The tube is then sutured to the sclera with 0-10 nylon thread. In the SPG method, the donor sclera is placed approximately 7 x 4 mm on the exposed part of the tube and then it is attached to the sclera with 0-10 nylon. Create a small tunnel with a 23 gauge needle, through which the tube enters the anterior chamber and the two sides of the flap are sealed with nylon 0-10.Finally, the conjunctiva and tendon are sutured continuously with 10‐10 and vicryl thread. Mitomycin is placed in the form of a sponge with a concentration of 0.04% for 2 minutes under the conjunctiva. 0.025ml is injected intrachemically with a 23-gauge needle head.
