Active clinical trials for "Ocular Hypertension"

This is an open-label trial of 20 study participants with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Participants with qualifying study eye(s) after screening and baseline evaluations will receive the Balance Goggles System. After a baseline evaluation (prior to negative pressure application through the BGS), study eyes will be treated for one hour in the clinic and be evaluated again. They will then use the BGS for the next 3-6 weeks and be evaluated again. The goal is to determine whether the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of BGS is accompanied by changes in retinal thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT), retinal vascular density measured by OCT-angiography, or retinal fluorescence measured by a fundus camera.

A target for glaucoma treatment is the intra-ocular pressure (IOP) which is lowered with medications, laser, or surgical intervention. The efficacy of different medication classes is well understood as their IOP lowering effects have been well documented. However, beyond the basic biochemical and pharmacokinetic actions, long-term effects of these drugs on IOP have not been adequately studied. Specifically, does long-term use of anti-glaucoma medications have lasting effects on IOP even with subsequent discontinuation of the medication? In Ontario, prostaglandin analogues are the most frequently prescribed first line anti-glaucoma medication. In our study, we examine the lingering IOP-reducing effects of the prostaglandin analogue anti-glaucoma drug class. Our overall objective is to determine if patients previously treated with prostaglandin analogues remain within acceptable treatment ranges 6 weeks after medication discontinuation, and if this IOP differs from pre-treatment baseline values. Half of participants will discontinue their prostaglandin analogue (PGA) treatment for 6 weeks, while the other half will continue their PGA therapy as prescribed by their ophthalmologist. Both groups will be followed closely throughout the 6 weeks to monitor changes in IOP. This can help us understand the lasting effects of medication use and can help better guide clinical care in optimizing glaucoma management, and help direct study designs of future research that involve any therapy secondary to prostaglandin analogue treatment.

The objective of this study was to investigate the improving effect of corneal disorder in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients, when switched from the 0.005% latanoprost ophthalmic solution (one drop at a time, once daily) to the 0.0015% tafluprost ophthalmic solution (one drop at a time, once daily). Efficacy also was investigated.

To evaluate the ocular hypotensive efficacy of PG324 ophthalmic solution relative to its individual components in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to investigate IOP reduction efficacy of travoprost 0.004% ophthalmic solution (TRAVATAN Z®) in subjects with normal tension glaucoma.

Bimatoprost 0.03% preservative free monodose eye drops solution (BUDPF) is a new product composed of a synthetic prostamide, bimatoprost 0.3% in a preservative free formulation. This new product is used as a once-daily topical ocular therapy for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma, or ocular hypertension, and that are sensitive to preservatives. The individual active component of BUDPF, bimatoprost is an established therapeutic agent with well documented IOP efficacy (1). Prostamides, such as bimatoprost, are believed to lower IOP mainly by increasing uveoscleral outflow. The comparator, Preservative Free Latanoprost 0.005% Unit Dose (LUDPF, eg. Monoprost®), was recently launched in a number of countries in Europe and contains latanoprost in a new preservative free formulation. It is clinically important to compare these newly entered preservative free products with respect to tolerability and efficacy. A better tolerability combined with maximum efficacy will reduce the burden of daily glaucoma therapy and provide a clear therapeutic benefit to the glaucoma patient by providing enhanced compliance and real-world IOP-lowering efficacy. The hypothesis of the study is that monodose bimatoprost is more effective than monodose latanoprost by at least 1 mmHg.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the additive effect of brinzolamide 1%/brimonidine 0.2% (SIMBRINZA® suspension) in subjects with either open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are currently on a prostaglandin analogue (PGA) monotherapy.

This is a safety and efficacy study of fixed-combination bimatoprost and brimonidine compared with LUMIGAN® and ALPHAGAN® in patients with chronic glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of Travoprost 0.004% POLYQUAD (PQ) ophthalmic solution compared to Timolol ophthalmic solution (0.5% or 0.25%) in pediatric glaucoma patients.
