Purpose: The present study is the first randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of anecortave acetate (AA) administered at 3 doses (3, 15, or 30 mg) as an anterior juxtascleral depot (AJD) in patients experiencing elevated IOP due to corticosteroid therapy.
Methods: This was a double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel group trial. Eligible patients had an IOP of at least 24 mmHg and an IOP increase of at least 10 mmHg relative to their IOP before treatment with steroids.
Purpose: To describe the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) after treatment with an anterior juxtascleral depot of anecortave acetate.
Design: Prospective, interventional case series.
Methods: Seven eyes of six subjects with OAG, with uncontrolled IOP while being administered one or more topical medications, received 24 mg anecortave acetate delivered by anterior juxtascleral depot.
Purpose: To compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% fixed combination with brinzolamide 1% or timolol 0.5% alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

Methods: A double-masked, randomized design. Pediatric patients were randomized to brinzolamide suspension, 1%, or levobetaxolol suspension, 0.
Purpose: To compare the IOP-lowering efficacy of the fixed combination of travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% dosed once daily in the morning with the concomitant administration of travoprost 0.

Design: This is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, single center study of 26 patients scheduled for 3 visits (baseline, day 15, and days 17 to 18) following screening.
Purpose: To compare the safety and efficacy of travoprost 0.004% without benzalkonium chloride (BAC) to that of the marketed formulation of travoprost 0.004% in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods: The study had an open-label, multicenter, single-treatment-arm design that included sequential patients with open-angle glaucoma (with or without pigment dispersion or pseudoexfoliation component) or ocular hypertension who were taking any prostaglandin analogue monotherapy.
Purpose: The safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of brimonidine tartrate 0.15% preserved with polyquaternium-1 were evaluated and compared with brimonidine tartrate 0.15% preserved with chlorine dioxide in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
