NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

Published Studies Related to Carteolol (Carteolol Ophthalmic)

[Long-acting carteolol hydrochloride 2% ophthalmic solution phase IV study--investigation of the effectiveness, safety and plasma concentration]. [2010.11]
PURPOSE: We investigated the effectiveness, safety and plasma concentration of long-acting carteolol hydrochloride 2% ophthalmic solution (LA) as compared with the original carteolol hydrochloride 2% ophthalmic solution(CA)... CONCLUSIONS: The IOP reduction effect of the LA group was the same as the CA group. This study suggests that long-acting treatment with alginic acid can be useful for reducing systemic side effects.

[Ocular hypotensive effect of 1% carteolol long-acting eye drops--a double-masked, randomized phase III study in ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma patients comparing long-acting carteolol eye drops vs. current product] [2007.06]
CONCLUSION: Because the efficacy of both drugs was equivalent, with an identical safety profile, the long-acting eye drops seem to be an efficacious formulation for clinical use in Japanese glaucoma patients.

Additive effect of dorzolamide or carteolol to latanoprost in primary open-angle glaucoma: a prospective randomized crossover trial. [2006.08]
PURPOSE: To compare the additive effect of dorzolamide or carteolol to latanoprost on intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients. DESIGN: Prospective open-label randomized crossover clinical study... CONCLUSIONS: Both dorzolamide and carteolol reduce IOP additively when used in combination with latanoprost, and the additive effect of these drugs is equal.

Comparison of the additive effects of nipradilol and carteolol to latanoprost in open-angle glaucoma. [2006.01]
PURPOSE: To compare the effects of nipradilol and carteolol on intraocular pressure (IOP) when added to latanoprost treatment for glaucoma patients... CONCLUSIONS: Both nipradilol and carteolol have additive effects when used in combination with latanoprost. Carteolol, however, may have a more potent effect than nipradilol.

Comparison of carteolol plasmatic levels after repeated instillations of long-acting and regular formulations of carteolol 2% in glaucoma patients. [2005.12]
BACKGROUND: A new long-acting (LA) formulation of carteolol 2% instilled once daily has been shown to provide a therapeutic effect similar to that of the regular formulation of carteolol 2% instilled twice daily. This study was designed to test whether the new formulation reduces the systemic delivery of carteolol... CONCLUSIONS: The data from this study showed that the systemic delivery of carteolol is lower for the once-daily LA formulation than for the regular twice-daily formulation. Consequently, long-acting carteolol eye-drops should reduce the risk of beta-blocking systemic side effects.

Clinical Trials Related to Carteolol (Carteolol Ophthalmic)

Pharmacokinetic Study of OPC-1085EL Ophthalmic Solution in Healthy Male Adult Volunteers [Completed]
OPC-1085EL ophthalmic solution, carteolol long-acting ophthalmic solution or latanoprost ophthalmic solution are administered once daily for 7 days and the effect on the blood concentration of carteolol and latanoprost in OPC-1085EL ophthalmic solution by formulating the combination drug will be determined.

Efficacy and Safety Study of OPC-1085EL Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects With Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of OPC-1085EL ophthalmic solution in comparison with carteolol long-acting ophthalmic solution in subjects who are insufficiently responsive to carteolol long-acting ophthalmic solution.

Efficacy and Safety Study of OPC-1085EL Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects With Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of OPC-1085EL ophthalmic solution in comparison with latanoprost ophthalmic solution in subjects who are insufficiently responsive to latanoprost ophthalmic solution.

A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety Effects Using Mikelan® LA Ophthalmic Solution (OS) 2% Versus Timoptol® XE Ophthalmic Solution (OS) 0.5% in Ocular Hypertension Patients [Completed]
