Brief summary

To evaluate ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of PG324 Ophthalmic Solution compared to Netarsudil (AR-13324) Ophthalmic Solution and Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution. Following completion of the Month 12 study visit procedures, subjects will be offered the opportunity to participate in a 2-month observational (i.e., non-interventional) trial extension.

Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

The primary efficacy variable was mean IOP at 08:00, 10:00 and 16:00 hours at Day 15, Day 43 and Day 90, as measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. Secondary analysis were conducted as a part of safety measurements to month 12 on treatment.

Time frame: Primary efficacy endpoint measured for 3 months (data collected at 08:00, 10:00 and 16:00 hours at Day 15, Day 43 and Day 90)

Extent of Exposure

Exposure to study medication in days for all treatment groups

Time frame: 12 months

Population: The safety population= all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication. The safety population summarized subjects as-treated. 1 Subject was randomized to netarsudil but received latanoprost. Therefore, 1 less subject is in the netarsudil group and 1 additional subject is in the latanoprost group for the safety population.
