PAINT: Intraocular Pressure After Preserflo / Innfocus Microshunt Implantation vs Trabeculectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this project is to compare trabeculectomy with Preserflo / Innfocus Microshunt in patients with Primary Angle Open Glaucoma and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma regarding the reduction of intraocular pressure.

Detailed Description
The study is a prospective, randomized, monocentric, part blinded, controlled non-inferiority study of glaucoma patients.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Microshunt Patients will be treated with Preserflo / Innfocus Microshunt (Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). |
Device: Preserflo / Innfocus Microshunt
The Microshunt features an 8.5-mm tube with an outer diameter of 350 µm and a 70-µm diameter lumen. Implantation creates a subconjunctival bleb and lowers intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor outflow.
|
Active Comparator: Trabeculectomy Patients will be treated with trabeculectomy. |
Other: Trabeculectomy
Trabeculectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure and is considered the gold standard.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Difference in intraocular pressure [1 year]
