Trial Outcomes & Findings for Glaucoma Biomarkers (NCT NCT01677507)

NCT ID: NCT01677507

Last Updated: 2017-09-13

Results Overview

Eye pressure is a steady state quantitative trait that is measured in mm Hg. Eye pressure is determined by the following physiological factors (units of measure): eye fluid or aqueous humor production (microliters/minute), aqueous humor outflow (microliters/minute), outflow resistance (microliters/minute/mm Hg) and venous pressure (mm Hg) of the eye. All of these physiological factors will be determined under baseline condition and under glaucoma drug treatment.

Participant Flow

135 consented. Prior to baseline measures: 4 were excluded for ineligibility; 6 withdrew consent fully prior to baseline measurements. After baseline measures: an additional 2 were excluded based on physician decision, and 2 withdrew for participant decision. Thus, 121 participants are included for period 1.

Measure
Timolol Followed by Latanoprost
To compare the variation in response to timolol between individuals Variation in eye pressure response to timolol and latanoprost treatment: Arm 1 initial period is to test for variation in eye pressure response to timolol 0.5%, then washout. Period 2 is to test for variation in eye pressure response to latanoprost 0.005%.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 week after treatment

Population: These measurements can be difficult for participants to tolerate, so sometimes values are missing.
