Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed combination of Brinzolamide/Brimonidine in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) relative to each of its individual active components in patients with open-angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study consisted of 6 visits conducted during 2 sequential phases: the Screening/Eligibility phase, which included a screening visit and 2 eligibility visits, and the Treatment phase, which included 3 on-therapy visits conducted at Week 2, Week 6, and Month 3. A washout period based on previous ocular medication preceded Eligibility Visit 1. Patients who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria at both eligibility visits were randomized (1:1:1) to receive treatment with 1 of 3 study drugs for 3 months. Study drug instillation began the morning after the second eligibility visit.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Sign Informed Consent document.
* Diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, with mean intraocular pressure within protocol-specified range at eligibility visit/s.

Exclusion Criteria

* Females of childbearing potential if pregnant, lactating, or not using highly effective birth control measures.
* Any form of glaucoma other than open-angle glaucoma.
* Severe central vision loss in either eye.
* Chronic, recurrent, or severe inflammatory eye disease.
* Ocular trauma within the preceding 6 months.
* Ocular infection or ocular inflammation within the preceding 3 months.
* Clinically significant or progressive retinal disease such as retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or retinal detachment.
* Best-corrected visual acuity score worse than 55 letters using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart.
* Other ocular pathology (including severe dry eye) that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, preclude the administration of study product.
* Ocular surgery within the preceding 6 months.
* Ocular laser surgery within the preceding 3 months.
* Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry.
* Any other conditions, including severe illness, which could make the patient, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study.
