The VividWhite Glaucoma Implant (VW-51) is a novel surgical implant designed to treat glaucoma. This study is a 12-month, 65-participant non-comparative multicentre study to assess the safety and effectiveness of the VW-51 implant.
A prospective multicentre non-comparative pivotal clinical study where all participants undergo treatment with a novel surgical implant (VW-51) and receive 12 months of clinical follow-up. The study aim is to assess the effectiveness, safety and participant experience of the VW-51 implant for the treatment of glaucoma. The study population will involve 65 adult participants with medically or surgically refractory glaucoma. The VW-51 implant is a leaf-shaped microfluidic device manufactured from flexible silicone, designed to be surgically implanted in the subconjunctival space, drain aqueous humor from the eye and reduce intraocular pressure to treat glaucoma.

Complete success by efficacy and safety criteria
Efficacy Criteria: 1. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is less than or equal to 21 mmHg. 2. IOP is reduced by greater than or equal to 20% compared to baseline (mean diurnal). 3. Treatment with the same number or fewer classes of topical glaucoma medication than at baseline. 4. No requirement for: further glaucoma surgery indicated for efficacy (at any time during the study); or systemic/oral ocular hypotensive medication to achieve target IOP in the study eye (at any time during the study). Safety Criteria: 5. IOP is greater than or equal to 6 mmHg. 6. No adverse events of special significance in the study eye (as specified by the protocol; for example further glaucoma surgery indicated for safety).
