Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Change From Baseline in IOP at Month 3
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3

IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using a calibrated tonometer 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). One eye from each participant was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used for analysis.

Frequently asked questions about Travoprost 0.004% PQ

What is Travoprost 0.004% PQ?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ is an investigational ophthalmic solution being developed by Alcon Inc. (ticker: ALC) for pediatric glaucoma, including elevated intraocular pressure and ocular hypertension in pediatric patients. It is a small molecule formulation in Phase 3 development and is also known as Travoprost 0.004% PQ ophthalmic solution.

What is Travoprost 0.004% PQ used for in pediatric glaucoma?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ is being studied for pediatric glaucoma, specifically for elevated intraocular pressure and ocular hypertension in pediatric patients. The Phase 3 trial enrolled patients as young as 2 months of age. It is investigational and has not been established as a treatment for this population.

What does Travoprost 0.004% PQ target?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ targets PTGFR, the prostaglandin F receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. This receptor activity is the basis for its development as an intraocular pressure-lowering ophthalmic agent in pediatric patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Who makes Travoprost 0.004% PQ?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ is developed by Alcon Inc., which trades under the ticker ALC. Alcon is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this ophthalmic solution in pediatric glaucoma patients.

What phase is Travoprost 0.004% PQ in?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ is in Phase 3 development. The program includes one completed Phase 3 trial, and no trials are currently listed as active. The drug remains investigational and is not approved for pediatric glaucoma.

What clinical trials is Travoprost 0.004% PQ in?

Travoprost 0.004% PQ has been evaluated in the Phase 3 trial NCT01652664, titled Study of Travoprost Ophthalmic Solution, 0.004% Compared to Timolol (0.5% or 0.25%) in Pediatric Glaucoma Patients. The completed trial enrolled 184 patients, was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.

Is Travoprost 0.004% PQ the same as Travoprost 0.004% PQ ophthalmic solution?

Yes, Travoprost 0.004% PQ and Travoprost 0.004% PQ ophthalmic solution refer to the same Alcon Inc. product candidate. The ophthalmic solution name describes the formulation used in the Phase 3 pediatric glaucoma program.
