Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessing the Efficacy and Tolerability of AZARGA® (Brinzolamide 1%/Timolol 0.5% Fixed Combination) as Replacement Therapy in Patients on Brimonidine 0.2%/Timolol 0.5% Fixed Combination Therapy (COMBIGAN®) in Latin America (NCT NCT01518244)

NCT ID: NCT01518244

Last Updated: 2015-08-07

Results Overview

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the efficacy analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 8

Population: The analysis population includes all participants who received AZARGA® and with at least 1 on-therapy study visit (V2 or V3).

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the efficacy analysis.

4/50 • Adverse events (AEs) were collected for the duration of the study (December 2011-February 2013). An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered the test product, regardless of causal relationship with such product.
The analysis population includes all participants who received at least one dose of AZARGA®.
