Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To confirm the clinical non-inferiority of a generic ophthalmic product of Latanoprost 50µg/ml/Timolol 5mg/ml fixed combination which is preservative-free (test) compared with the marketed preservative-containing Xalacom® (reference) eye drops in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension by examining the change of IOP at 8:00am from end of study to baseline.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are i) to compare the efficacy of the two latanoprost/timolol products (test and reference) in terms of IOP and ii) to compare their tolerability. ;Primary end point(s): Change in IOP at 8:00am in study eye from end of treatment (week 12) to baseline (week 0) in subjects treated with the test product as compared to subjects treated with the reference product.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 12 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): -Change in IOP at 12:00pm and 16:00pm in study eye from end of treatment (week 12) to baseline (week 0) in subjects treated with the test product as compared to subjects treated with the reference product. -Change in IOP at 8:00am, 12:00pm and 16:00pm in study eye from week 2 to baseline (week 0) in subjects treated with the test product as compared to subjects treated with the reference product. -Change in IOP at 8:00am, 12:00pm and 16:00pm in study eye from week 6 to baseline (week 0) in subjects treated with the test product as compared to subjects treated with the reference product. Safety: -Ocular and systemic AEs -Clinically significant safety findings at ocular examination. -Decrease in visual acuity as compared to baseline (Week 0). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ?t 2,6,12 week | — |
