Published Studies Related to Trusopt (Dorzolamide Ophthalmic)
[Double-masked, phase III comparative study of the combination ophthalmic solution of the 1% dorzolamide hydrochloride/0.5% timolol maleate (MK-0507A) in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension]. [2011.06] CONCLUSION: MK-0507A has a significantly superior IOP-lowering effect relative to timolol. MK-0507A also showed a non-inferior IOP-lowering effect relative to the concomitant therapy. MK-0507A was safe compared to both timolol and concomitant therapy.
[Comparative study of the pressure lowering efficacy and variations in the ocular pulse amplitude between fixed combinations of dorzolamide/timolol and brinzolamide/timolol]. [2011.05] OBJECTIVE: To determine possible differences in the intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) lowering capacity of the fixed drug combinations dorzolamide/timolol and brinzolamide/timolol... CONCLUSIONS: Both fixed combinations were similarly effective in reducing intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude. Adverse effects related to both treatments were mild and well-tolerated, though itching occurred most frequently in the eyes treated with dorzolamide/timolol.

Pharmacodynamic equivalence study of two preparations of eye drops containing dorzolamide and timolol in healthy volunteers. [2011] CONCLUSION: Both formulations showed comparable results obtained at a time probably equal to the maximum effect concerning the primary target parameter lowering of IOP 2 h post dose. The safety profile of both preparations showed no difference.

Comparison of the efficacy and tolerability of preservative-free and preservative-containing formulations of the dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination (COSOPT) in patients with elevated intraocular pressure in a randomized clinical trial. [2010.12] BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of preservative-free (PF) and preservative-containing (PC) formulations of the dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination (COSOPT) in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)... CONCLUSIONS: In patients with elevated IOP, PF and PC dorzolamide/timolol were equivalent in efficacy for change in trough and peak IOP, and had generally similar tolerability.
Clinical Trials Related to Trusopt (Dorzolamide Ophthalmic)
Comparison of Brimonidine Purite, Dorzolamide, and Brinzolamide as Adjunctive Therapy to Prostaglandin Analogs [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of brimonidine Purite, dorzolamide, and
brinzolamide in reducing intraocular pressure when added to prostaglandin analog therapy
(bimatoprost, latanoprost, or travoprost) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Efficacy of Dorzolamide as an Adjuvant After Focal Photocoagulation in Clinically Significant Macular Edema [Recruiting]
Photocoagulation is the standard treatment in the focal EMCS, disrupts vascular leakage and
allows the pigment epithelium remove the intraretinal fluid is effective in reducing the
incidence of visual loss but can reduce contrast sensitivity and retinal sensitivity, the
characteristics of the function can be reduced such as setting (location and stability) are
relevant to the quality of the patient's vision parameters, reading comprehension,
especially the ability, duration of diabetic macular edema, could have a significant impact
on survival and / or the functional reserve of the macular cells subjected to mechanical and
toxic stress-induced edema. It seems that in the treatment of patients with EMCS,
photoreceptor damage occurs as a recent phenomenon, and can precede neurodegeneration
retinal photoreceptor loss, whereby visual function can be decreased. An adjunctive
treatment as Dorzolamide facilitating effect helping resorption of intraretinal fluid
through EPR and reduce adverse events that is the loss of contrast sensitivity and retinal
sensitivity, response time of photocoagulation treatment could be reduced to the patient,
because the rate of resorption of intraretinal fluid is facilitated and thus the duration of
the response, also could reduce damage to vision caused by the inadequacies of the
photoreceptors during the evolution of macular edema avoiding moderate visual loss, there by
increasing the quality of life in terms of improving the quality of vision in diabetic
patients. In addition to obtaining a specific adjuvant treatment with photocoagulation is
helpful for focal edema in diabetic and a new level using dorzolamide in retina Dorzolamide
as adjunctive therapy after focal photocoagulation is more effective than placebo in
improving visual function in patients with diabetic macular edema
24-hr Intraocular Pressure Control With Dorzolamide/Timolol vs the Brimonidine/Timolol Fixed Combination [Completed]
The proposed study will compare for the first time the quality of 24-hour IOP control with
Brimonidine/Timolol fixed combination (BTFC) versus Dorzolamide/Timolol fixed combination
(DTFC) after a run-in period of 2 months with timolol. This crossover comparison may
determine the real efficacy of the two fixed combinations and the design of the proposed
study may explain for the first time why the 24-hour IOP reduction provided by BTFC is less
than might be anticipated.
COSOPT (Timolol/Dorzolamide Combination) Normal Tension Glaucoma Study (MK0507A-161)(COMPLETED) [Completed]
A study to evaluate the effect of the 12-week treatment with timolol/dorzolamide combination
eyedrops (COSOPT) on decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) at 2 hours after the study drug
administration
Pharmacological Intervention in Diabetic Retinopathy [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine if diabetic retinopathy can be treated with
prostaglandin analogues, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors or carbonic anhydrases
inhibitors.
