Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: At Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Eligibility, D -2), subjects with any of the following ocular conditions in either eye or with any of the following non-ocular conditions or characteristics are not eligible to participate in the study: General 1. Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy. 2. Subjects with known or suspected drug or alcohol abuse. 3. Participation in other investigational drugs (oral or topical therapy) or device clinical trials within 28 days prior to Visit 2 (Eligibility, D -2) and/or participation in other investigational drugs (intravitreal injection therapy) within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Eligibility, Day -2, or planning to participate in other investigational drug or device clinical trials during a time which would overlap with the duration of the study. This includes both ocular and non-ocular clinical trials. Exposure to investigational biologics should be discussed with the medical monitor. Medications / Therapies 4. Subjects who cannot safely discontinue use of ocular hypotensive medications during the wait/washout period. 5. Subjects who will be required to initiate or modify any systemic or topical medication known to affect IOP (e.g., ß-adrenergic antagonists, a-adrenergic agonists, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers [ARBs]). Subjects using the above medications must be on a stable dose use for at least 28 days prior to Visit 2 (Eligibility, D -2) and the duration of the study. 6. Intended or current use of the following prohibited medications/therapies during the study duration: All ocular medications other than sodium chloride/potassium chloride ophthalmic solution, cataract treatment agents (e.g., lutathione, pirenoxine), Vitamin B12 formulation (e.g., cyanocobalamine), over-the-counter artificial tears/drops, and study medications. All systemically administered ocular hypotensive medications (e.g., oral or intravenous CAI, oral glycerol). Any ocular, periocular, inhaled, nasal, or systemic corticosteroids (excluding joint injections). ? Lacrimal/punctal occlusion via plug(s) or cautery. 7.

Main Objective: To compare the 24h IOP lowering characteristics of DE-126 ophthalmic solution 0.002% with latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%, both given once daily in the evening for 3 months+1 day;Secondary Objective: To compare additional characteristics of the 24h IOP efficacy of DE-126 in comparison to latanoprost Safety Objectives To assess the safety profile of DE-126 ophthalmic solution 0.002% given once daily (QD) in subjects with POAG or OHT Exploratory Objectives To explore Quality of Life in subjects with POAG or OHT when given DE-126 or latanoprost for 3 months. To gain experience in self-monitoring of IOP by the subjects;Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoint The IOP (mmHg) measured in the study eye (identified at the baseline visit) is the efficacy measure for this study.The IOP at each scheduled time point will be evaluated at each post-baseline visit. Besides observed IOP measurements, change and percent change from baseline in IOP at each scheduled time point as well as the change and percent change from baseline in mean diurnal IOP will also be derived and evaluated.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Mean twenty-four-hour (24h) IOP in the study eye measured at Month 3 at 4h (24:00), 8h (04:00), 12h (08:00), 16h (12:00), 20h (16:00), and 24h (20:00) after the last dose given the previous night at 20:00.
