About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare efficacy and tolerability of the brand-name latanoprost and one of its generic version in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

This randomized, double-blinded, cross-over design study has a 4 months follow-up. There are two periods of 8 weeks. During the first period, subjects put brand-name latanoprost in one eye and the generic version in the other one. In the second period, drops are switched from one eye to the other. There are intraocular pressure measurements (diurnal curves) on day 0 (before treatment), at 8 weeks (at the end of first period) and at 16 weeks (at the end of second period). Variations of intraocular pressure in each eye will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    Goldman applanation tonometry will be used to measure IOP.

    Measured: 8 weeks, 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Conjunctival hyperemia

    Measured: 8 weeks, 16 weeks

  2. Change in corneal staining

    Oxford grading scale

    Measured: 8 weeks, 16 weeks

  3. Change in TSS-IOP (Treatment Satisfaction Survey for IntraOcular Pressure)

    Measured: 8 weeks, 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Generic latanoprost and Brand-name latanoprost in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 22 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Problem with IP supply). Results are not available in the source record.

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 in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) (time frame: 8 weeks, 16 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jul 2017.
