Purpose: To identify the optimal dose of NCX 470, a nitric oxide (NO)-donating bimatoprost, for comparison to latanoprost in a phase 3 trial for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHTN) using an adaptive dose selection design.

Patients And Methods: In this prospective, multicenter trial, subjects were randomized 1:1:1 to NCX 470 0.065 %, NCX 470 0.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the settings and effectiveness of the original P3 and revised P3 probes for micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation.

Methods: This retrospective cross sectional study includes a total of 56 patients with glaucoma who received micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. 32 patients received treatment with the original P3 probe and 24 received treatment with the revised P3 probe.

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of NCX 470, a nitric oxide (NO)-donating bimatoprost, to latanoprost in subjects with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

Design: Prospective, phase 3, randomized, adaptive dose-selection, double-masked, parallel-group trial.

Methods: 691 subjects with OAG or OHT and unmedicated IOP ≥26 mmHg at 8AM, ≥24 mmHg at 10AM, and ≥22 mmHg at 4PM in the study eye were randomized to NCX 470 0.

Precis: In pooled phase III analyses, once-daily netarsudil 0.02% resulted in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction that was noninferior to twice-daily timolol 0.5%, with minimal treatment-related serious or systemic adverse events (AEs).
