What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Average Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. For each patient, the IOP is the average of the two eyes. The average IOP is the average of the 08:00, 12:00 and 16:00 hour time points at each visit for each patient. A negative number change from Baseline indicates a reduction in average IOP (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline IOP

    IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. For each patient, the IOP is the average of the two eyes. IOP is recorded at the 08:00 (8:00 am), 12:00 (noon) and 16:00 (4:00 pm) hour time points for each patient at each visit. A negative number change from Baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

  2. Percentage of Patients Reaching a Predefined Target Pressure Threshold

    IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. For each patient, the IOP is the average of the two eyes. The predefined target pressure thresholds are at least a 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% reduction in IOP from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

  3. Absolute Difference Between Patient's Highest IOP Reading at Baseline (Day 0) and the Corresponding IOP Reading

    IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Two or three measurements of IOP are taken for each eye at each time point. The highest IOP values between the two eyes for each patient at each time point are used to calculate the absolute difference.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

  4. Absolute Difference Between Patient's Lowest IOP Reading at Baseline (Day 0) and the Corresponding IOP Reading

    IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Two or three measurements of IOP are taken for each eye at each time point. The lowest IOP values between the two eyes for each patient at each time point are used to calculate the absolute difference.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing bimatoprost 0.03%/timolol 0.5% combination ophthalmic solution and latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution in people with Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Allergan at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Portugal, Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Feb 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Average Intraocular Pressure (IOP) (time frame: Baseline, Month 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01243567, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2019.
