MINIject Glaucoma Implant in European Patients (STAR-II)

August 8, 2022 updated by: iSTAR Medical

A Prospective, Open, Multicentre Clinical Trial With One Cohort Analysing the Efficacy and Safety of MINIject in European Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma Uncontrolled by Topical Hypotensive Medications

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the MINIject glaucoma implant and Intraocular Pressure (IOP) lowering effects with or without glaucoma medications. The procedure will be a stand-alone surgery. Overall, the patient will be asked to perform several examinations up to 24 months after surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint is the 'qualified success' rate at 6 months after surgery greater than 60%. 'Qualified success' is defined as a diurnal IOP ≤ 21mmHg (millimeter mercury) and > 5mmHg with a minimum 20% diurnal IOP reduction from baseline with or without the concomitant use of allowed glaucoma hypotensive medication at 6 months after surgery

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males or females, 50 years of age or older.
  • Diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma during screening visit or earlier.
  • Grade 3 (open, 20-35 degrees) or grade 4 (wide open, 35-45 degrees) according to Shafer Angle Grading System.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of glaucoma other than primary open angle glaucoma (e.g. angle closure glaucoma or secondary open angle glaucoma) in the study eye.
  • Grade 2 (narrow, 20 degrees), grade 1 (extremely narrow, less or equal to 10 degrees) and grade 0 (closed or slit) according to Shafer Angle Grading System.
  • Neovascular glaucoma in the study eye.
  • Corneal opacity or iridocorneal angle not visible through gonioscopy prisma in the study eye, preventing correct placement of the implant.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Stand-alone

Patients will receive MINIject Glaucoma implant in a stand-alone procedure.

MINIject implant is used to reduce intra-ocular pressure in the eye through a minimally-invasive Glaucoma surgical intervention.
