Investigation of IOP and Tolerability of Bimatoprost 0.01% and Tafluprost Unit Dose Preservative Free 15 Microgram/ml

Registration Number
NCT02471105
Lead Sponsor
Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Brief Summary

This cross-over study will investigate the efficacy and safety of BIMMD and TUDPF in a clinical setting.

Detailed Description

* A prospective, randomized, investigator-masked, crossover comparison;

* Ocular hypertension or glaucoma (XFG or POAG) patients and who consent to participate will be enrolled in this study

* Patients will be scheduled for a screening visit IOP assessment (IOP measurements at 08:30, 12:30 and 16:30 (±1 hour).

* Patients who are on therapy at the screening visit and who consent to participate will undergo a washout period for 4 weeks (depending on therapy) before the baseline visit;

* Patient can under the washout period be given brinzolamide (Azopt) if needed, Azopt should then be discontinued 5 days before baseline visit;

* After the screening visit (and after wash-outperiod for treated patients) patients will be scheduled to undergo a baseline visit IOP assessment (IOP measurements at 08:30, 12:30 and 16:30 (± 1 hour with a minimum of 3 hours between readings) and will then be randomized for Period 1 to receive either BIMMD drops once in the evening (20:30) or TUDPF drops once in the evening (20:30) for 3 month

* After 3 month, patients will be switched for Period 2, to the opposite treatment (e.g. switched to either BIMMD or TUDPF) to be dosed in the evening;

* After another 3 months they will undergo the final evaluation of IOP levels and of tolerability;

* Intermediate safety visits may be scheduled at the discretion of the investigator.
