Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Triple Combination Therapy compared with Fixed Combination brimonidine tartrate/timolol ophthalmic solution in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Interventions

One drop of Triple Combination Therapy administered to each eye, twice daily for up to 12 months.

One drop of Fixed Combination 0.2% brimonidine tartrate/0.5% timolol ophthalmic solution administered to each eye, twice daily for up to 12 months.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mean Worse Eye Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Analyzed by Two-Sample T-TestBaseline, Week 12Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. IOP is evaluated at Hour 0 and Hour 2 in the worse eye, defined as the eye with the worse (higher) Hour 0 IOP at baseline. The mean of Hours 0 and 2 is calculated at Baseline and Week 12 in the worse eye. A negative number change from baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement) and a positive number change from baseline indicates an increase in IOP (worsening). Data are analyzed using a two-sample t-test.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. IOP is evaluated at Hour 0 and Hour 2 in the worse eye, defined as the eye with the worse (higher) Hour 0 IOP at baseline. The mean of Hours 0 and 2 is calculated at Baseline and Week 12 in the worse eye. A negative number change from baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement) and a positive number change from baseline indicates an increase in IOP (worsening).
