Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of SIMBRINZA® Suspension as an Added Therapy to TRAVATAN Z® (NCT NCT01937299)

NCT ID: NCT01937299

Last Updated: 2015-05-14

Results Overview

Diurnal IOP was defined as the average of the four timepoints measured (8 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, and 5 PM). IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used for the analyses. A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: This analysis population includes all subjects who received study medication and completed at least 1 scheduled on-therapy study visit. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was not utilized; therefore results report subjects present at Week 6 with no imputation for missingness.

Diurnal IOP was defined as the average of the four timepoints measured (8 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, and 5 PM). IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used for the analyses. A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

Population: This analysis population includes all subjects who received study medication and completed at least 1 scheduled on-therapy study visit. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was not utilized; therefore results report subjects present at Week 6 with no imputation for missingness.

Baseline IOP was defined as the average of the timepoint-matched IOP measurements at Eligibility 1 and Eligibility 2 Visits. Diurnal IOP change was defined as the average of the four changes from baseline (timepoints 8 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, and 5 PM). IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used for the analyses. A more negative change from baseline indicates a greater improvement, i.e., a reduction of IOP.

Baseline IOP was defined as the average of the timepoint-matched IOP measurements at Eligibility 1 and Eligibility 2 Visits. Diurnal IOP Percentage Change was defined as the average of the four percent changes from baseline (timepoints 8 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, and 5 PM). IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and reported in millimeters mercury (mmHg). One eye was chosen as the study eye and only data for the study eye were used for the analyses. A more negative percent change from baseline indicates a greater amount of improvement, i.e., a reduction of IOP.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who was administered a study medication, regardless of whether or not the event had a causal relationship with the medication. All AEs were obtained as solicited and spontaneous comments from the subjects, and as observations by the Investigator, as outlined in the study protocol.
