Condition(s) targeted: Glaucoma

Intervention: Travoprost/timolol fixed combination, travoprost (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Anastasios GP Konstas, MD, PhD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Associate Professor and Head of the Glaucoma Unit, 1st University Department of Ophthalmology

Summary

This 8-week, crossover study will compare the quality of 24-hour IOP control with TTFC versus travoprost when both medications are dosed in the evening. Such a crossover comparison may determine the real efficacy of the new fixed combination versus travoprost monotherapy. The results should enhance the investigators understanding on the best dosing of TTFC and may influence its clinical use in Europe. Finally, the results would better delineate the future role of TTFC in glaucoma management after PG monotherapy, or instead of unfixed therapy with PG analogs and timolol. This study should assist the general ophthalmologist worldwide to plan optimal stepwise medical therapy.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Crossover, Double-Masked Comparison Investigating the 24-Hour Intraocular Pressure Control With the Travoprost/Timolol Fixed Combination Versus Travoprost, When Both Are Given in the Evening, in Subjects With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Mean 24-hour IOP

Secondary outcome:
