Frequently asked questions about Travoprost Intraocular, high elution

What is travoprost intraocular, high elution?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution is an investigational small molecule therapy being developed by Glaukos Corporation for open-angle glaucoma. It is designed as an intraocular implant that delivers travoprost, a prostaglandin analog, into the eye. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What is travoprost intraocular, high elution used for?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution is being studied for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma. The condition involves elevated intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve. The implant is intended to provide sustained delivery of travoprost to lower eye pressure in patients with this form of glaucoma.

What does travoprost intraocular, high elution target?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution targets PTGFR, the prostaglandin F receptor. It acts as an agonist at this receptor. Activation of PTGFR increases aqueous humor outflow from the eye, which lowers intraocular pressure. This mechanism is consistent with its development for open-angle glaucoma.

Who is developing travoprost intraocular, high elution?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution is being developed by Glaukos Corporation, which trades under the ticker GKOS. Glaukos is an ophthalmology-focused company. The asset is part of its pipeline of sustained-release therapies for eye conditions, including open-angle glaucoma.

What phase is travoprost intraocular, high elution in?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution is in Phase 2 development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is travoprost intraocular, high elution in?

Travoprost intraocular, high elution has been evaluated in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT02754596, titled "Study Comparing Travoprost Intraocular Implants to Timolol Ophthalmic Solution." The trial enrolled 154 participants with open-angle glaucoma in the United States. It was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.

Is travoprost intraocular, high elution the same as travoprost intraocular implant, high elution?

Yes, travoprost intraocular, high elution is also known as travoprost intraocular implant, high elution. Both names refer to the same investigational Glaukos Corporation asset for open-angle glaucoma. The alternative name emphasizes the implant-based delivery form of the therapy.
