Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness in reducing the mean 24-hour IOP of the preservative-free fixed combination of Tafluprost 0.0015% and Timolol 0.5% administered once at night (8pm) in POAG or OHT patients suffering from mild OSD and requiring further IOP reduction while in topical treatment with BAK-preserved Latanoprost 0.05 mg/ml.;Secondary Objective: 1) The reduction of IOP at each time of the 24-hour curve; 2) The value of the reduction of the IOP of the 24 hours and at each time point; 3) Daytime reduction and night of the IOP; 4) Patients achieving IOP reductions in average IOP of 24h; 5) Changes in the damage to the cornea and of the dry eye disease; 6) Changes of the dry eye disease; 7) Change in number and activation of corneal and conjunctival dendritic involved in the production of the lachrymal film; 8) Change in the number of conjunctival goblet cells involved in the production of the lachrymal film 9) Changes in quality of life.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be the evaluation of the mean 24-h absolute IOP reduction measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) from baseline to V3B.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and V3B | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1) Evaluation of the average reduction of IOP at each time of the 24-hour curve measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) at V3B compared with the 24-hour curve at baseline. 2) Evaluation of the percentage reduction of the average IOP of the 24 hours and at each time point to the V3B compared to the baseline. 3) Evaluation of the average daytime reduction (8:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00) and night (23:00, 02:00, 05:00) of the IOP measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) to V3B compared to baseline. 4) Evaluation of the percentage of patients achieving IOP reductions in average IOP of 24h> 20%,> 25%,> 30% to V3B compared to baseline. 5) Evaluation of the changes in the CFS and tBUT parameters to V3A from baseline, respectively measured by extension of the area of the cornea colored by fluorescein and density of the staining, and the breaking time of the lachrymal film after staining with fluorescein 6) Evaluation of the changes in the Five-item dry eye (DEQ-5) questionnaire to V3A from baseline measured by the score assigned to the questions. 7) Evaluation of the changes of the number and activation of corneal and conjunctival dendritic cells to confocal microscopy to V3A from baseline 8) Evaluation of the changes of the number of conjunctival goblet cells to confocal microscopy compared to V3A from baseline.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1), 2), 3), 4): baseline and V3B 5), 6), 7), 8): baseline and V3A | — |
