Conditions

Glaucoma, Open-Angle, Ocular Hypertension

Brief summary

To evaluate the IOP lowering efficacy of netarsudil ophthalmic solution 0.02% when used as monotherapy or when used concomitantly with other IOP-lowering agents in subjects with elevated IOP due to open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in a real-world clinical setting. The study is an open-label design. The patients will receive treatment for 12 weeks.

Interventions

1 drop in each eye once daily in the evening

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female subjects (aged 18 or older) 2. Subjects diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and determined by the treating physician to require additional intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering treatment with netarsudil 0.02%. 3. Willingness to follow protocol requirements, including signed informed consent, routine follow-up schedule, completing questionnaires and completing laboratory tests Key

Exclusion criteria

1. Have any active ocular disease other than glaucoma or ocular hypertension that would interfere with study interpretation 2. Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy and not using a medically acceptable form of birth control. Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must have had a prior vasectomy or agree to use an effective method of birth control during the treatment period and for 3 months after the subject has completed the study. 3. Known sensitivity or allergy to the study medication or components 4. Any systemic disease or clinical evidence of any condition which would make the subject, in the opinion of the investigator, unsuitable for the study or could potentially confound the study results 5. Concurrent participation or prior participation in any investigational drug or device study within the last 30 days prior to the Baseline Visit

Participant flow

Recruitment details

A total of 261 subjects were enrolled across 22 investigational sites and 260 treated.

Pre-assignment details

The enrolled population includes all subjects who signed ICF. One subject enrolled but withdrew consent before study drug dispensed; thus, post-baseline treatment is unavailable. Participant Flow data represents ITT population. Clarification of enrolled (n= 261) vs treated (n=260) subjects is provided in Recruitment & Pre-assignment sections.

Outcome results

Primary

Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

Percent Change from Baseline IOP at Week 12, as measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. Prostaglandin analog (PGA). Fixed dose combination (FDC).

Time frame: 12 weeks

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 follow-up visit with a completed IOP measurement.
