| NCT01254604 | Preservative-Free Tafluprost (MK-2452) for the Treatment of Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension (MK-2452-002) | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 190 | — | — | Dec 1, 2011 | May 9, 2013 | Sep 20, 2018 | - | — |
IOP was measured at baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 using a Goldmann applanation tonometer. At each of these visits, IOP measurement was performed at 0800, 1000 and 1600 hours. At each IOP assessment time point during a visit, 2 consecutive IOP measurements were made. If these 2 measurements differed by ≤2 mmHg, then the average of the 2 IOP values was recorded. If the 2 measurements differed by \>2 mmHg, then a third measurement was obtained and the median of these 3 measurements was recorded. The IOP value for a visit (e.g., Week 4) was the mean of the values recorded at the 3 time points during the visit. For each participant, one "study eye" was identified for data summarization and analysis for this primary efficacy outcome measure. The "study eye" was the eye with the higher (i.e., "worse") IOP at baseline, or if both eyes had the same baseline IOP value, the right eye was designated the "study eye." Change from baseline in IOP at Week 4 = Week 4 IOP value - baseline IOP value.
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Participants with one or more AEs during the study are counted once in this summary.
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Participants who discontinued study drug treatment due to an AE are counted once in this summary.
| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tafluprost | EXPERIMENTAL | One drop of preservative-free vehicle (contains no active drug) per eye in the morning, and one drop of preservative-free tafluprost (0.0015%) per eye in the evening for four weeks. Morning dose with vehicle only allows blinding to match twice daily dosing of comparator arm. |
| Timolol | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | One drop of preservative-free timolol maleate (0.05%) per eye twice daily (morning and evening) for four weeks. |
