Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy of Travoprost 0.003% is equivalent to TRAVATAN® in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Detailed Description
This study consisted of six visits conducted during two sequential phases. The Screening/Eligibility phase included one screening visit and two eligibility visits. A washout period based on previous ocular medication preceded Eligibility Visit 1. Subjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria at both eligibility visits were randomized (1:1) at the second eligibility visit. The Treatment phase consisted of three on-therapy visits (Week 2, Week 6, and Month 3).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma (including open-angle glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation or pigment dispersion) or ocular hypertension.
- •Qualifying intraocular pressure at both eligibility visits.
- •Understand and sign an informed consent form.
- •Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Women of childbearing potential if pregnant, breast-feeding, or not on adequate birth control.
- •Severe central visual field loss in either eye.
- •Chronic, recurrent or severe inflammatory eye disease.
- •Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) score worse than 55 ETDRS letters (equivalent to 20/80 Snellen).
- •Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry.
- •Hypersensitivity to prostaglandin analogs or to any component of the study medications.
- •Therapy with another investigational agent within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
- •Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.
Arms & Interventions
Travoprost 0.003%
Travoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.003%, one drop instilled in each eye, once daily, for three months
Intervention: Travoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.003%

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 2, Week 6, and Month 3 for Each Assessment Time Point (8 AM, 10 AM, and 4 PM)
Time Frame: Week 2, Week 6, Month 3 (8 AM, 10 AM, 4 PM)
As measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye and only the study eye was used in the efficacy analysis. A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage).
