Globally primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) affects over 60 million people. The exact pathogenesis of POAG is poorly understood. A significant risk factor for glaucoma is advancing age. The rate of ageing is not the same in all age matched individuals. The concept of accelerated ageing suggests that the presence of a number of specific genetic, environmental or systemic risk factors may cumulate to accelerate the ageing process in some individuals and lead to the development of age-related disease. Understanding the factors that influence accelerated ageing is vital. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a complex group of compounds that are naturally formed. They accumulate gradually with age in cells, tissues and blood vessels throughout the body where they adversely affect structure and function. Circulating AGE levels can be influenced by oxidative stress levels and dietary intake. Recent research has found that sustained exposure to high levels of circulating AGEs could be a major factor in the development of a number of chronic age-related degenerative disorders, including POAG. To date there have been few clinical studies that have been able to non-invasively explore the association between AGE levels and the development and progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), or to explore the possible contribution that oxidative stress and dietary intake make to total tissue AGE levels in such patients. Furthermore little is understood about the relationship between AGE levels and retinal vascular function, a parameter known to be altered in GON that also could be influenced by AGE levels. The proposed study will aim to evaluate whether tissue-bound AGE levels are associated with parameters of retinal vascular function, oxidative stress, dietary intake and the presence of GON. Establishing this association could increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of GON and allow a new biomarker for accelerated ocular ageing to be realised
Phase II, randomized, double-masked study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of topical ocular delivery of fixed-dosed combinations of trabodenoson and latanoprost in subjects with Ocular Hypertension or Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma. All subjects who meet the study's enrollment criteria following Screening will undergo washout of all prohibited medications (if washout is needed), including their routine glaucoma medications. During the Placebo Run-In Period, placebo is applied twice daily to both eyes in all subjects. During the Treatment Period, study drug is applied to both eyes for a total of 8 weeks. Each subject will be assigned 4 weeks of AM and 4 weeks of PM dosing in a masked manner. AM vs PM dosing is masked utilizing Placebo in addition to the active drug product. During the Treatment Period, study drug (Active and Placebo) eye drop applications will occur twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. The Treatment Period will be followed by an Observation Period of approximately 7 days wherein no study eye drops are instilled. The purpose of the study is to assess the overall benefit/risk profile of binocular topical application of different doses of trabodenoson (3.0% and 6.0%) when combined with latanoprost (0.005% or 0.0025%) one drop daily (QD) for 8 weeks.
The purposes of this study are to investigate the effect of intraocular pressure lowering efficacy and safety of DE-117 ophthalmic solution in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are non-/low-responders to latanoprost ophthalmic solution.
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the long-term safety and intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy of DE-117 ophthalmic solution monotherapy and concomitant use of DE-117 ophthalmic solution with timolol ophthalmic solution 0.5% in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of generic travoprost with its brand name formulation. In this open label, randomized, crossover study, the primary outcome will be intraocular pressure and the secondary outcome will be tolerance to the drops, as measured by a subjective questionnaire. Patients will be randomized to receive either brand name or generic travoprost during the first visit. At the second visit 3 weeks later, their intraocular pressure will be measured and a questionnaire will be completed on the tolerance of the medication. Patients will then receive the other formulation of travoprost. At the third and final visit, another 3 weeks later, their intraocular pressure will be measured and a questionnaire will be completed on the tolerance of the second medication.
The aim of this study will be to determine the effects of pilocarpine as an adjunct medication to latanoprost monotherapy at multiple intervals throughout a 24-hour period and compare these effects to latanoprost alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the clinical profile of topical-ocular MGV354 merits further development for the indication of lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of two drugs (bimatoprost and timolol) delivered to the surface of the eye over 10 weeks is better at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) than either of the drugs delivered alone.
Glaucoma is the first cause of irreversible blindness worldwide with more than 60 millions people affected in 2010. It is defined as a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), visual field deterioration and optic nerve excavation. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most common risk factor. Despite its severity, its impact on quality of life and an existing treatment that can delay visual field damages, there is no recommended strategy to screen the disease. Clinical evaluation of optic nerve head excavation performed either by ophthalmologists or glaucoma specialists is highly inter-observer dependent and limits its accuracy to diagnose glaucoma. Additionally, up to 30 to 40% of nerve fiber layer may be lost before detecting first visual field defects, thus making this tool not accurate enough for screening purposes. Spectral-Domain Optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging technology allows precise and reproducible measurements of optic nerve head structures and retinal layers mainly related to the speed of acquisition and an axial resolution of 5 microns. New SD-OCT parameters have been developed to improve its diagnostic accuracy for glaucoma disease. The investigators therefore investigate performances of SD-OCT to discriminate glaucoma patients and controls. All subjects will undergo SD-OCT imaging (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.3, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) and other study procedures in one single visit. All examinations performed on the subjects are non-significant risk.
