  • Research summary

    The purpose of the research is to compare the safety and efficacy of glaucoma surgery with the InnFocus MicroShunt Glaucoma Drainage System to standard trabeculectomy. Both operations are being compared in this study to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma in whom the IOP is not controlled adequately when using as many types of eye drops for glaucoma as were tolerated and had an effect on the eye pressure.
    This study will use the unlicensed medicinal product Mitosol, a commercialised brand in the U.S.A. for Mytomicin C.
