Safety and Effectiveness of Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS®) to Reduce Intraocular Pressure in Open-Angle Glaucoma Which is Not Controlled Despite Polypharmacy
A study testing Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy Device in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Open Angle Glaucoma, run by Sanoculis Ltd at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to show non-inferiority of the MIMS® device/procedure with Mitomycin-C, in terms of its surgical success rate, compared to trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C in subjects diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma, whose intraocular pressure is not controlled despite polypharmacy.

About this study
Official title: An Observer-Masked, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS®) to Reduce Intraocular Pressure in Open-Angle Glaucoma Which is Not Controlled Despite Polypharmacy
The goal of this clinical trial is to show non-inferiority of the MIMS® device/procedure with Mitomycin-C, in terms of its surgical success rate, compared to trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C in subjects diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma, whose intraocular pressure is not controlled despite polypharmacy.
Eligible screened participants will undergo the MIMS® procedure and will be followed for a period of 12 months in this single-arm study. Investigators will compare the results of this study to the surgical success rate of traditional trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C.

Definition of Surgical Success: the subject's eye, after having the MIMS® procedure:
- Achieved 20% or more reduction in average diurnal IOP from baseline at 12 months after surgery; AND
- Using the same number or fewer topical IOP lowering medications
Measured: 12 months

Exploratory Effectiveness Endpoint 1
Change in IOP (mmHg) from baseline to 12 months follow-up
Measured: 12 months
Exploratory Effectiveness Endpoint 2
Change in IOP (% change) from baseline to 12 months follow-up

Exploratory Effectiveness Endpoint 3
Change in the number of IOP lowering topical medications from screening to 12 months follow-up
Measured: 12 months
Exploratory Effectiveness Endpoint 4
Change in number (% change) of IOP lowering topical medications from screening to 12 months follow-up
Measured: 12 months
Safety Outcome 1
Incidence of ocular adverse events in the study eye (overall and related to MIMS® device/procedure) throughout the follow-up period
Measured: 12 months
Safety Outcome 2
Biomicroscopic slit lamp and ophthalmoscopy findings
Measured: 12 months
Safety Outcome 3

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Khan Lau, OD (8082862666, khan@sanoculis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Surgical success rate of the MIMS® device/procedure at 12 months after surgery (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
