Brimonidine (Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic) - Summary

 
 



BRIMONIDINE SUMMARY

Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.2% is a relatively selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist for ophthalmic use. In solution, brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.2% has a clear, greenish-yellow color. It has an osmolality of 280-330 mOsml/kg and a pH of 5.6-6.

Brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.2% is indicated for lowering intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The lOP lowering efficacy of brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.2% diminishes over time in some patients. This loss of effect appears with a variable time of onset in each patient and should be closely monitored.

Clinical Trials Related to Brimonidine ( Ophthalmic)

Systemic Bioavailability Study Of Col-118 Administered Topically as a 0.18 % Facial Gel And Brimonidine Ophthalmic Solution 0.2% [Completed]

Pharmacokinetics of the Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Delivery System in Patients Undergoing Pars Plana Vitrectomy [Completed]
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of brimonidine following a single intravitreal administration of the 200 ug or 400 ug Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Drug Delivery System in patients 2, 4 or 8 weeks prior to undergoing a pars plana vitrectomy.

Safety and Efficacy of Brimonidine Intravitreal Implant in Patients With Geographic Atrophy Due to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) [Completed]
Stage 1 is a patient-masked, dose-escalation, safety evaluation of brimonidine intravitreal implant. Patients will receive implant in one eye and "sham" treatment (meaning no treatment) in the fellow eye. Stage 2 will begin after 1 month of safety has been evaluated for Stage 1. Stage 2 is a randomized, double-masked, dose-response, sham-controlled evaluation of the safety and efficacy of brimonidine intravitreal implant in patients with geographic atrophy from age-related macular degeneration. Patients will be followed for up to 2 years.

Effect of Topical Brimonidine on Post Cataract Surgery Corneal Edema [Not yet recruiting]
Most patients undergoing cataract surgery suffer from corneal edema after the surgery. Brimonidine drops are a well known and safe Anti-glaucoma medication. the investigators have made several clinical observations that patients receiving Brimonidine drops had a faster resolution of their corneal edema even if they had normal intra-ocular pressure. The investigators believe that administering topical Brimonidine to patients with significant post operative corneal edema will hasten the resolution of their corneal edema.

Effect of Brimonidine on Corneal Thickness [Recruiting]
Brimonidine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, is an effective and safe medication which is widely used in glaucoma treatment. Although it is known that it is quickly taken up by the cornea following topical administration and that the cornea has alpha-2 adrenoceptors there are only few studies available on the impact brimonidine has on the cornea. The aim of the study is to find out 1. whether topical administration of brimonidine results in interaction with corneal alpha-2 adrenoceptors in terms of an increase in corneal thickness and 2. whether there are any differences between the response corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium show to alpha-2 adrenoceptor stimulation.
