Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy: Performance and Safety Evaluation Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Eligible Glaucoma patients will undergo pre-surgery examination including:
medicines list, blood tests and ECG. On surgery day: intraocular pressure (IOP) will be measured. Then a sub-conjunctival injection of Mitomycin C will be administered .
The Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS) procedure is designed to create a drainage channel at the sclera-corneal junction by penetrating through the wall [scleral tissue] . MIMS procedure may be combined with cataract surgery.
Patients will be followed up to 52 weeks post operation.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Eligible patients will have ECG and blood test up to 30 days prior to the MIMS procedure.
Description of MIMS procedure:
on surgery day, intraocular pressure (IOP) will be measured. Then a sub-conjunctival injection of Mitomycin C will be administered .
creating drainage channel at the sclera-corneal junction by penetrating through the wall [scleral tissue]. MIMS procedure may be combined with cataract surgery.
Post-operatively the patient will be treated with dexamethasone-neomycin drops for at least one month.
Patients will be followed up to 52 weeks post operation.
The following measurements will be included:
-
Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP)
-
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
-
Slit Lamp Biomicroscopic evaluation
-
Anterior Segment Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
-
Fundus Examination
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Minimally invasive micro sclerostomy (MIMS) create a drainage channel at the sclera-corneal junction |
Device: Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS)
The System is a surgical device, designed to create a drainage channel at the sclera-corneal junction . The drainage channel is created by a Stainless Steel surgical tool.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Intraocular Pressure Reduction [52 weeks]
Proportion of subjects achieved a 20% or greater reduction in IOP from Baseline on the same or less number of medications
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Mean Intraocular Pressure [52 weeks]
Mean change in IOP from baseline
- Adverse Event [52 weeks]
Incidence of adverse events related to MIMS® device/procedure, throughout the study follow-up

-
Any previous surgery in the study eye (except for clear corneal cataract surgery) where the conjunctiva is not intact and elastic.
-
Any ocular disease or history in study eye such as severe dry eye, active proliferative retinopathy, ICE syndrome, epithelial or fibrous down growth, and ocular pathology that may interfere with accurate IOP measurements
-
Prior surgery for an ab-interno or ab-externo device implanted in or through the Schlemm's canal in the study eye.
