Clinical Trial Summary

The study will assess safety and performance of MINIject implant in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by topical hypotensive medications in conjunction with cataract surgery.

Description:

The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MINIject in the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in conjunction with cataract surgery. The cataract surgery will be performed first and if successful, only then will the MINIject be placed.

Patients will be followed for 2 years after the date of their implantation. Standard ophthalmologic assessments including measurement of intraocular pressure, fundus examination, ocular imaging, assessment of any untoward ocular events etc. will be performed.
