About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Glaucoma focused on measuring Open-angle glaucoma, Ocular hypertension, Pigment dispersion glaucoma

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of ocular hypertension, primary open-angle or pigment dispersion glaucoma in both eyes.
  • Must be on a stable regimen of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) lowering medication within one week of screening/baseline visit.
  • Must have an IOP of between 19 and 35 mmHg (both inclusive) in at least one eye, which would be the study eye, at screening.
  • Must be willing to discontinue the use of all other ocular hypotensive medications prior to receiving the study medication for the entire course of the study.
  • Must have best corrected visual acuity of 6/60 (20/200 Snellen, 1.0 LogMAR) or better in each eye.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known medical history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or poor tolerance to any component of the medication to be used in the study deemed clinically significant in the opinion of the principal investigator.
  • Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry in either eye.
  • Risk of visual field or visual acuity worsening as a consequence of participating in this study, in the investigator's best judgment.
  • Pregnant or lactating.
  • Participation in any other investigational study within 30 days of screening visit.
  • Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

AZARGA

Arm Description

Brinzolamide 1% and timolol 0.5% fixed combination eye drops, one drop administered to the study eye(s) twice daily (8:00 am and 8:00 pm) for up to 8 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at the Final Visit From Prior Beta-blocker Monotherapy (Timolol 0.5% Only)
As measured at baseline and final visit with Goldmann applanation tonometry. The outcome measure was pre-specified for Timolol 0.5% only participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Patients With Target IOP (≤18 mmHg), Regardless of Prior Therapy
As measured with Goldmann applanation tonometry. The outcome measure was pre-specified for all participants.
