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 is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of generic travoprost with its brand name formulation. In this open label, randomized, crossover study, the primary outcome will be intraocular pressure and the secondary outcome will be tolerance to the drops, as measured by a subjective questionnaire. Patients will be randomized to receive either brand name or generic travoprost during the first visit. At the second visit 3 weeks later, their intraocular pressure will be measured and a questionnaire will be completed on the tolerance of the medication. Patients will then receive the other formulation of travoprost. At the third and final visit, another 3 weeks later, their intraocular pressure will be measured and a questionnaire will be completed on the tolerance of the second medication.

Study Groups

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

Brand name travoprost

Patients will be randomized to either start in this arm for the first 3 weeks before the crossover to the other arm for the second 3 weeks or they will start in the other arm for the first 3 weeks before the crossover to this arm for the second 3 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brand name travoprost

Intervention Type DRUG

Depending on the arm, either brand name or generic Travoprost will be administered by the patient. After 3 weeks, the intraocular pressure will be measured and a crossover will happen. Patients having taken brand name Travoprost will be switched to generic Travoprost and vice versa. At 6 weeks, the intraocular pressure will be measured. Questionnaires on the comfort and intolerances of the drops will be administered at the visits of 3 and 6 weeks.
