Dose-Ranging Study of the Bimatoprost Ocular Insert
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent

- Diagnosis in both eyes of either primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension
- Best corrected-distance visual acuity score equivalent to 20/80 or better
- Stable visual field
- Central corneal thickness between 490 - 620 micrometers
Inclusion Criteria at the Randomization Visit:
("T" is defined as time and "hr" is defined as hour[s])
- IOP for each eye is ≥ 23 mm Hg at T=0 hr, ≥ 20 mm Hg at T=2 hr and T=8 hr.
- Inter-eye IOP difference of ≤ 5.0 mm Hg at T=0 hr, T=2 hr and T=8 hr.
- IOP for each eye is ≤ 30 mm Hg at T=0 hr, T=2 hr and T=8 hr.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Any known contraindication to prostaglandin analog (latanoprost, travoprost, bimatoprost, tafluprost) or timolol
- A cardiac or pulmonary condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would contraindicate the use of beta-blocker drops

- Ocular, orbital, and/or eyelid surgery of any type within the past six (6) months from screening date
- Laser surgery for glaucoma / ocular hypertension on one (1) or both eyes within the last six (6) months
- Past history of any incisional surgery for glaucoma at any time
- Past history of corneal refractive surgery
- Corneal abnormalities that would interfere with accurate IOP readings with an applanation tonometer
- Current participation in an investigational drug or device study or participation in such a study within 30 days of Screening
- Inability to adequately evaluate the retina
- Participants who will require contact lens use during the study period.
- Participants who currently have punctal occlusion

Washout + Placebo Ocular Insert in each eye for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by 13 mg Bimatoprost Ocular Insert in each eye (OU) for 12 weeks. Note: participants also self-administered placebo ophthalmic eye drops to each eye twice a day (BID) for the first 6 weeks.
