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 12 weeks.

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

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mean Worse Eye Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 12Baseline, Week 12IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. For each eye, the IOP was either the average of 2 measurements, or, if a third measurement was required, the median of the 3 measurements. The worse eye was determined based on the IOP results at Baseline. The mean worse eye IOP was the average of the IOP measurements of the worse eye at hours 0 and 2 at week 12. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Mean Worse Eye Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 12

IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. For each eye, the IOP was either the average of 2 measurements, or, if a third measurement was required, the median of the 3 measurements. The worse eye was determined based on the IOP results at Baseline. The mean worse eye IOP was the average of the IOP measurements of the worse eye at hours 0 and 2 at week 12. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Population: Participants from the modified Intent-to-treat (mITT) population, that included all randomized participants who had at least 1 post-baseline IOP measurement, with data available for analysis at the given time-point.
