Brief Summary

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

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important modifiable risk factor to prevent and delay progression of glaucoma. IOP reduction has been proven to delay the onset and progression of glaucoma, and uncontrolled IOP is constantly associated with progression of visual field loss.

Medical therapy is the first line in IOP reduction for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). It is a known fact that glaucoma patients often require addition of a second antiglaucoma medications when disease progresses or tachyphylaxis occurs. It was reported that more than 50% of patients require 2 or more medications to achieve optimum IOP control.

Nevertheless, compliance and adherence are often impaired with multiple-drug therapy. Combining two ocular hypotensive agents in one bottle may help patients adhere to therapeutic regimen by reducing the number of medications used and the total number of doses administered.

Study Groups

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

once daily group

Latanoprost/Timolol Fixed Combination (LTFC) will be administered once daily for 4 weeks. The IOP will be determined on Day 14 and 28. The following examinations will be performed: evaluation of conjunctiva hyperemia, anterior chamber reaction, applanation tonometry, measurement of blood pressure and heart rate.

For once daily dosing, the eye drops will be instilled at 8am every morning. The IOP will be taken at 9am-12pm on study day.

twice daily group

Latanoprost/Timolol Fixed Combination (LTFC) will be administered twice daily for 4 weeks. The IOP will be determined on Day 14 and 28. The following examinations will be performed: evaluation of conjunctiva hyperemia, anterior chamber reaction, applanation tonometry, measurement of blood pressure and heart rate.

For twice dosing, the eye drops will be instilled at 8am and 8pm. The IOP will be taken at 9am-12pm on study day.
