Brief summary

To evaluate the effect on trabecular outflow facility of Netarsudil ophthalmic solution 0.02% compared to placebo

Detailed description

Trabecular outflow facility is a measure of aqueous humor dynamics; effect of netarsudil on this parameter as well as on intraocular pressure and episcleral venous pressure was evaluated in this study. Netarsudil treatment was given in one eye and placebo given in contralateral eye for 7 consecutive days.

Interventions

1 drop daily (QD), in the morning (AM) Netarsudil Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% administered to one eye and Placebo comparator to the contralateral eye

OTHERPlacebo Comparator

1 drop daily (QD), in the morning (AM) of Placebo comparator administered to one eye and Netarsudil Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% to the contralateral eye
