Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Adding AZARGA® Adjunctive to Prostaglandin Therapy (NCT NCT01263444)

NCT ID: NCT01263444

Last Updated: 2014-05-20

Results Overview

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the mean.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: This analysis population includes all patients who received study medication and had at least one on-therapy study visit minus missing responses and/or visit attendance.

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the mean.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: This analysis population includes all patients who received study medication and had at least one on-therapy study visit minus missing responses and/or visit attendance.

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. Only prostaglandin subgroups with ≥ 15 patients were analyzed. Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the mean.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: This analysis population includes all patients who received study medication and had at least one on-therapy study visit minus missing responses and/or visit attendance.

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using Goldmann applanation tonometry and measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). Only one eye (study eye) was assessed.

1/47 • Adverse events (AEs) were collected for the duration of the study (2 years, 1 month). This analysis group includes all patients who received study medication.
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient who is administered a study treatment, regardless of causal relationship with the treatment. Reports of AEs were obtained through solicited and spontaneous comments from the patients and through observations by the Investigator as outlined in the study protocol.
