Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in patients with glaucoma and elevated pressure in the eye. The main questions it aims to answer are: • ability to lower pressure in the eye • safety in the eye and the body of patients with elevated pressure in the eye. Patients will be randomly given either: * 0.5% (5 mg/mL) SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion * 1.0% (10 mg/mL) SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion * Placebo Ophthalmic Emulsion Patients will be tested before starting and will have one drop of the product placed into each eye twice a day for 14 days, by the site and by the patient. At the end of the study, researchers will compare the groups to see if there is a change from before use of SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion to the end of study.
Detailed description
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study to evaluate the ocular hypotensive efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion after 14 days of binocular dosing, twice daily (BID). There will be a 35-day screening period, including wash-out (if needed), followed by a visit on Day-1 to confirm eligibility. The first dose will be administered by the staff immediately after the (eligibility) 08:00 IOP measurement on Day 1, with subsequent study assessments up to 8 hours post-dose. The PM (evening) dose will be self-administered by the patient at home, approximately 12 hours after the AM (morning) dose. The patient will self-administer study treatment on Days 2 through 6 in the AM and PM. On Day 7, the patient will return to have the AM dose administered by site staff immediately after the 08:00 IOP measurement has been taken. Subsequent assessments will be performed in a similar fashion as Day 1 with study assessments up to 8 hours post-dose. Patient will self-administer the Day 7 PM dose and the AM and PM doses on Days 8 through 13. On Day 14, the patient will return to have the AM dose administered by site and assessments similar to that of Days 1 and 7, the patient may complete the final dose on Day 14 at the site approximately 12 hours after the AM dose and have end of study (EOS) procedures performed. Or the patient may choose to self-administer the Day 14 PM dose at home and return to the site within 2 days for EOS visit.IOP efficacy will be evaluated by Goldmann applanation tonometry. Safety/tolerability will be evaluated by review of ocular signs and symptoms through Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), ophthalmic assessments, ocular comfort patient-reported outcome (PRO), vital signs, and other standard safety measures Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion: Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) Screening: up to 35 days, including wash-out from any topical pharmacological IOP-lowering therapies (if required) Treatment: 2 weeks (14 days) Follow up: Up to 2 days after the last dose on Day 14

Pre-assignment details
There was a screening/washout period of up to 35 days to washout procedures and medications prohibited by the study protocol. At Visit 3 (Day 1), eligible patients were randomized 1:1:1 to IP in a double-masked fashion (SBI-100 0.5%, SBI-100 1.0% or placebo). Eleven (11) participants were screen failures and therefore, did not receive a treatment assigned. A total of 56 participants were screened and enrolled.
