Glaucoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Non-Specific Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade on Ocular Blood Flow in Patients With Glaucoma.
Several lines of evidence suggest now that ocular perfusion abnormalities may contribute to
the progression of glaucoma. It has been hypothesised that increased endothelin-1 plasma
levels, as seen in patients with glaucoma, may be related to these alterations in ocular
blood flow. We could show in recent experiments that administration of ET-1 decreases ocular
blood flow, whereas blocking of the ET-A receptors do not affect basal vascular tone in
healthy subjects. In the current study we set out to evaluate the effect Bosentan, a
non-selective ETA-receptor antagonist in patients with open-angle glaucoma. This should
allow us to test the hypothesis that administration of an ET-1 receptor antagonist increases
ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma.
Investigations will be done with a retinal vessel analyzer to determine retinal vessel
cross-sectional diameters, with laser Doppler flowmetry and laser Doppler velocimetry to
determine subfoveal macular blood flow and optic nerve head blood flow and with laser
interferometric measurements to determine fundus pulsation amplitude in the macula. The
intraocular pressure will be measured with applanation tonometry. This will be assessed at
baseline and in response to peroral application of Bosentan or placebo.
The study objective is therefor, to evaluate the contribution of ET-1 to ocular blood flow
dysregulation in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
