Brief summary

As part of the post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF), this registry is developed to ensure real-world data collection on MINIject device.

Detailed description

The goal of the registry is to collect data of the MINIject in a real-life setting. The registry has 3 main objectives: the collection of real-world evidence on the usability of the device, the patient reported outcomes, and the device safety over a period of 2 years after surgery.

Interventions

each participant receives an implant Miniject and are followed during 2 years

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Unexpected incidents and/or serious reportable incidentsFrom enrollment up to 2 years after surgery (study completion)Collection of incidents (nature (ocular or non-ocular), number and severity) throughout the study. The number of unexpected incidents and the number of individuals presenting at least one event will be reported.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgeon assessment of Device UsabilityThe surgery dayThe Device usability will be assessed by the surgeon using a study-specific usability questionnaire evaluating device preparation, handling, and use during surgery. Questionnaire items may include categorical ratings, ordinal scales, and free-text comments, as applicable.
Eye-related Quality of Life Assessed Using the SHPC-18 questionnaireBaseline, 12 and 24 monthsQuality of life will be assessed using the Symptom and Health Problem Checklist (SHPC-18) questionnaire, an 18 item instrument for patients treated for glaucoma. The questionnaire includes two domains: local eye symptoms (7 items) and Visual function problems (11 items). Each item is scored and a total "bothersome score" is calculated by summing all 18 items (range 0-1800) and dividing by 18, resulting in a final score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater symptom burden and worse quality of life. Change from baseline will be evaluated at 12 and 24 months.
IOP measurementBaseline, 1 day and 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 monthsIOP measurements at each follow-up visit over time and changes compared to baseline
Ocular medication useFrom enrollment through 2 years after surgeryOcular medication use at each follow-up visit and changes compared to baseline
Investigator Assessment of Ocular Symptoms Using a 6-Category Severity ScaleFrom enrollment until 2 years post-surgeryAt each follow-up visit, the investigator will assess the presence and severity of ocular symptoms (including blurred vision, glare, halos, dryness, foreign body sensation, and other reported symptoms) using the categories: absent, mild, moderate, severe, very severe, or unknown. Changes from baseline will be evaluated.
BCVA testingBaseline, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 monthsBest Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) outcomes at each follow-up visit and changes compared to baseline
Visual fieldBaseline, 6, 12 and 24 monthsVisual field outcomes at each follow-up visit and changes compared to baseline
Additional ocular surgery post-implantationFrom surgery until 2 years post-surgeryAdditional ocular surgery post-implantation will be registered through the study
