Participant Flow

Phase III. Studied period: April 9, 2007 (date study therapy started for the first subject) to February 16, 2008 (the last subject's last visit stipulated in study protocol). Study was conducted at 67 clinical sites.

Outpatients with primary open angle glaucoma (broad definition) and/or ocular hypertension received 4-week timolol 0.5% monotherapy in the wash-out period before the study randomization.
