About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Parallel-Group, Observer-Masked, Phase 3 Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of T-2345 Ophthalmic Solution to Xalatan (Latanoprost 0.005%) in Subjects With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of T-2345 dosed to one of both eyes once daily for 84 days compared to Xalatan dosed to one of both eyes once daily for 84 days in patients with elevated eye pressure.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-2345 nonpreserved ophthalmic solution (latanoprost 0.005%) in comparison to Xalatan® (latanoprost 0.005%) in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OH).

This will be a randomized, multicenter, parallel-group, observer-masked study in approximately 380 evaluable subjects treated for 84 days. Subjects will have a history of POAG or OH and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and will have been adequately controlled (IOP ≤ 18 mm Hg) on latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution monotherapy for at least 4 weeks.

Primary efficacy (IOP) will be assessed in the study eye at each visit by Goldmann applanation tonometry at all assessment visits.

Safety will be assessed at each visit by corrected Snellen Visual Acuity, slit lamp examination/anterior chamber cell count and flare and adverse event (AE) collection.

Primary Efficacy Endpoint is the between-group comparison of the mean IOP values at each time point at each of the Day 15, 42, and 84 visits.

Secondary Efficacy Endpoints include:

  • Between-group comparison of the mean change from baseline in diurnal IOP measurements at all postbaseline visits.
  • Between-group comparison of the mean change from baseline in IOP measurements at all times points at Day 15, Day 42 and Day 84.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraocular Pressure

    Evaluation of intraocular pressure using Goldmann applanation tonometry.

    Primary outcome was the between group difference in the change from baseline in IOP at each of 9 assessment points.

    Equivalence was achieved if the 95% Confidence Intervals were within 1.5 mmHg at all 9 time points

    Measured: Measured at 8am 10 am and 4 pm at Baseline and on Days 15, 42 and 84

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Visual Acuity

    Visual Acuity was measured using the Corrected Snellen Visual Acuity method reported as the Logarithm Minimum Angle of Resoution (logMAR) change from baseline. The Snellen eye chart was used with the subject's current corrected lens prescription at a distance equivalent to 20 feet. Results from the Snellen chart were converted to the logMAR scale which is the standard tool for reporting visual acuity outcomes.

    Measured: Baseline and 84 days

  2. Slit Lamp Examination

    Number of participants with eye abnormalities following routine slit lamp examination. The anterior segment of the eye including lids, cornea, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, iris and lens were evaluated with a routine slit lamp examination and any abnormalities observed were reported.

    Measured: Baseline and 84 days

  3. Ophthalmoscopy

    Number of participants with eye abnormalities following ophthalmoscopy. Direct ophthalmoscopy with dilation included assessment of the optic nerve head for pallor and cupping. A dilated fundus examination consisting of the vitreous, optic nerve, macula, and peripheral retina was conducted. Results are reported as the number of subjects with clinical significant abnormalities at Day 84 that were not clinically significant at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 84 days

  4. Mean Deviation in Visual Field

    Visual Field was performed using an automated perimeter according to the sites standard protocol. This test measures the angle of the visual field from the central visual axis. Visual Field Testing generates a numerical scale as its main result which shows the retinal sensitivities at the different test locations, expressed in Decibels (dB). The mean deviation in the visual field reflects the overall depression (deviation from normal values). Negative values indicate a reduction in visual field. The analysis performed is the mean change from baseline at Day 84.

    Measured: Baseline and 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing T-2345 and Xalatan in people with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 26 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 22 Aug 2018. 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 United States. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 22 Aug 2018). 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?

Intraocular Pressure (time frame: Measured at 8am 10 am and 4 pm at Baseline and on Days 15, 42 and 84). 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 22 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
