Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The VividWhite Glaucoma Implant (VW-51) is a novel surgical implant designed to treat glaucoma. This study is a 12-month, 65-participant non-comparative multicentre study to assess the safety and effectiveness of the VW-51 implant.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective multicentre non-comparative pivotal clinical study where all participants undergo treatment with a novel surgical implant (VW-51) and receive 12 months of clinical follow-up. The study aim is to assess the effectiveness, safety and participant experience of the VW-51 implant for the treatment of glaucoma. The study population will involve 65 adult participants with medically or surgically refractory glaucoma. The VW-51 implant is a leaf-shaped microfluidic device manufactured from flexible silicone, designed to be surgically implanted in the subconjunctival space, drain aqueous humor from the eye and reduce intraocular pressure to treat glaucoma.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Glaucoma is diagnosed by the investigator based upon untreated intraocular pressure, disc appearance and visual field abnormalities, and where the disease type is one of: Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG); Chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG) where the eye is pseudophakic and a laser iridotomy has previously been performed; Pigmentary open angle glaucoma; Exfoliation open angle glaucoma; Rubeotic glaucoma that is treated and regressed/quiescent; Steroid-induced glaucoma; or Juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG).
2. There has been failure of previous treatment for glaucoma (it is 'refractory'), meeting ONE of the following requirements:

i. Failure of medical treatment: inadequate IOP control on maximum tolerated medical therapy.

ii. Failure of previous glaucoma surgery (not more than one operation) with trabeculectomy, Xen/PreserFlo, non-penetrating glaucoma surgery, a previously removed suprachoroidal drainage device, trabecular bypass (using iStents or Hydrus), or cilioablation.

c. The mean diurnal IOP at Screening/Baseline is ≥ 20 mmHg, and ≤ 40 mmHg.

d. The conjunctiva in the target quadrant is healthy, mobile and suitable for glaucoma surgery.

3. Previous glaucoma surgery with: a tube-and-plate glaucoma drainage device (GDD, e.g. Molteno, Baerveldt, Ahmed, Schocket); an in-situ suprachoroidal implant; or multiple previous operations for glaucoma.
4. Cataract surgery or any other ocular surgery is indicated at the time of study intervention or is anticipated to be required during the study duration.
5. Central corneal endothelial cell density less than specified age-related thresholds at screening.
6. Intraocular silicone oil.
7. Significant corneal, retinal, inflammatory or infective ophthalmic pathology (full details specified in the protocol).

Exclusion Criteria

1. Advanced glaucomatous optic neuropathy that threatens fixation, in the opinion of the investigator.
