Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 8
IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Diurnal IOP measurements were taken at 8 am (T=0 hour), 10 am (T=2 hour), and 4 pm (T=8 hour) at Week 8. IOP readings from both eyes were averaged to compute a single IOP value for each diurnal timepoint. A negative change from Baseline indicated an improvement.
Change From Baseline in IOP at Week 12
IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Diurnal IOP measurements were taken at 8 am (T=0 hour), 10 am (T=2 hour), and 4 pm (T=8 hour) at Week 12. IOP readings from both eyes were averaged to compute a single IOP value for each diurnal timepoint. A negative change from Baseline indicated an improvement.
Percentage of Participants by Change From Baseline in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Categories at Week 8
BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.
Percentage of Participants by Change From Baseline in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Categories at Week 12
BCVA is measured using an eye chart and is reported as the number of letters read correctly (ranging from 0 to 100 letters). The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.
Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Slit-Lamp Examination Findings at Week 12
The clinician examined and graded the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea and anterior chamber of the eye with the aid of a slit-lamp, (conjunctival erythema was assessed as part of the examination). Fluorescein dye was instilled into the ocular cul-de-sac to facilitate this examination.
Change From Baseline in Automated Visual Field at Week 12
Automated Visual Field was examined used the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, a test that measures the entire area of peripheral vision that can be seen while the eye is focused on a central point. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Dilated Fundus Exam: Cup-to-Disc-Ratio
The cup-to-disk-ratio is an eye test to assess the progression of glaucoma. The diameter of the cup is compared to the diameter of the disk and a ratio is determined. The normal cup-disk ratio is 0.3. An increase in the cup-to-disc-ratio is a possible indication of glaucoma.
Percentage of Participants by Dilated Fundus Exam Pathology Grade at Week 12
Dilated fundus examination pathology findings were noted, described and graded on a scale of None (0), Mild (+1), Moderate (+2) and Severe (+3). The percentage of participants in each grade is reported.
Percentage of Participants With Ocular and Non-ocular Adverse Events (AE) by Severity in Period A/B
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence (eg, sign, symptom, disease, syndrome, intercurrent illness) that occurred in a study participant, regardless of the suspected cause during the study. An ocular AE is an AE that occurred in the eye and non-ocular is an AE that occurred not in the eye. Th investigator assessed the worst severity of each AE as: Mild=aware of sign or symptom, but readily tolerated, Moderate=discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity or Severe=incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity.
Percentage of Participants With Ocular and Non-ocular Adverse Events (AE) by Severity in Period C
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence (eg, sign, symptom, disease, syndrome, intercurrent illness) that occurred in a study participant, regardless of the suspected cause during the study. An ocular AE is an AE that occurred in the eye and non-ocular is an AE that occurred not in the eye. The investigator assessed the worst severity of each AE as: Mild=aware of sign or symptom, but readily tolerated, Moderate=discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity or Severe=incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in IOP at Week 2
IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Diurnal IOP measurements were taken at 8 am (T=0 hour), 10 am (T=2 hour), and 4 pm (T=8 hour) at Week 2. IOP readings from both eyes were averaged to compute a single IOP value for each diurnal timepoint. A negative change from Baseline indicated an improvement.
Change From Baseline in IOP at Week 6
IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Diurnal IOP measurements were taken at 8 am (T=0 hour), 10 am (T=2 hour), and 4 pm (T=8 hour) at Week 6. IOP readings from both eyes were averaged to compute a single IOP value for each diurnal timepoint. A negative change from Baseline indicated an improvement.
Change From Baseline in IOP in Period C
IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Diurnal IOP measurements were taken at 8 am (T=0 hour), 10 am (T=2 hour), and 4 pm (T=8 hour) at Weeks 14, 18 and 24. IOP readings from both eyes were averaged to compute a single IOP value for each diurnal timepoint. A negative change from Baseline indicated an improvement.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The Bimatoprost Ocular Insert is intended to provide sustained delivery of bimatoprost to the ocular surface to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of two different doses of the Bimatoprost Ocular Insert, compared to an active control arm with timolol ophthalmic solution (0.5%).
