Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of bimatoprost SR compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are not adequately managed with topical IOP-lowering medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (e.g., due to intolerance or nonadherence).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stage 1: SLT (Primary Eye) / Bimatoprost SR 15 µg (Contralateral Eye)

Participants enrolled prior to implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 receive the following treatment in each eye:

Assigned Primary Eye: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) administered on Day 1 followed by up to three sham bimatoprost SR administrations.

Contralateral Eye: Sham SLT administered on Day 1 followed by up to three bimatoprost SR 15 µg administrations.

Bimatoprost SR/sham bimatoprost SR is administered on Day 4 (Cycle 1) and at Week 16 (Cycle 2) and Week 32 (Cycle 3; participants who reach Week 32 prior to implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 only).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bimatoprost SR

Intervention Type DRUG

Bimatoprost SR is a biodegradable, sustained-release, preservative-free bimatoprost implant, preloaded in an applicator for administration. The Bimatoprost SR implant is injected into the anterior chamber via the corneal limbus using the prefilled applicator.

Sham Bimatoprost SR

Intervention Type DRUG

Sham bimatoprost SR performed using the same procedure as for Bimatoprost SR using an needleless applicator that touches the eye at the area of insertion but does not deliver an implant into the anterior chamber.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

SLT is a laser procedure that targets the melanin, or pigment, in specific cells of the eye.

An ophthalmologist performed 360 degrees of SLT using a standardized method.

Sham Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Sham SLT is performed on the contralateral eye using the same method as for SLT, with the exception that the laser is not switched to the active state.

Stage 1: Bimatoprost SR 15 µg (Primary Eye) / SLT (Contralateral Eye)

Participants enrolled prior to implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 receive the following treatment in each eye:

Assigned Primary Eye: Sham SLT administered on Day 1 followed by up to three bimatoprost SR 15 µg administrations.

Contralateral Eye: SLT administered on Day 1 followed by up to three sham bimatoprost SR administrations.

Bimatoprost SR/sham bimatoprost SR is administered on Day 4 (Cycle 1) and at Week 16 (Cycle 2) and Week 32 (Cycle 3; participants who reach Week 32 prior to implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 only).

Sham Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Sham SLT is performed on the contralateral eye using the same method as for SLT, with the exception that the laser is not switched to the active state.

Stage 2: SLT (Primary Eye) / Bimatoprost SR 10 µg (Contralateral Eye)

Participants enrolled after implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 receive the following treatment in each eye:

Assigned Primary Eye: SLT administered on Day 1 followed by up to two sham bimatoprost SR administrations.

Contralateral Eye: Sham SLT administered on Day 1 followed by up to two bimatoprost SR 10 µg administrations.

Bimatoprost SR/sham bimatoprost SR is administered on Day 4 (Cycle 1) and at Week 16 (Cycle 2). After implementation of Protocol Amendment 6, Cycle 2 retreatment could occur after Week 16 and prior to Month 12 based on when retreatment criteria are met.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of either open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in each eye that require IOP lowering treatment.
* In the investigator's opinion, patient's IOP is not adequately managed with topical medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (eg, due to intolerance or nonadherence).
* In the investigator's opinion, both eyes can be treated adequately with topical prostamide, prostaglandin, or prostaglandin analog eye drops as the sole therapy if medication was taken as directed, or with SLT monotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria

* History of previous laser trabeculoplasty
* History or evidence of complicated cataract surgery: eg, surgery resulting in complicated lens placement (such as anterior chamber intraocular lens implant \[IOL\], sulcus IOL, aphakia, etc) or intraoperative complications (such as a posterior capsular tear \[with or without vitreous loss\], substantial iris trauma, etc) or history of phakic IOL insertion for refractive error correction
* Intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) and/or any ocular laser surgery within the 6 months prior to treatment
* Previous use of commercially available Bimatoprost SR; concurrent enrollment in another Allergan Bimatoprost SR study; or previous enrollment in which an implant was received.
