Aim: To prove non-inferiority of preservative-free (PF) latanoprost versus benzalkonium chloride (BAK) containing latanoprost in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) patients.
Design And Methods: This phase III, randomized, investigator-masked trial primarily aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of YSLT PF latanoprost 50 μg/ml (Yonsung GmbH) to latanoprost (Xalatan®) 50 μg/ml (Pfizer) in reducing IOP from Baseline to Week 12. Secondary aims included conjunctival hyperemia evaluation and difference in ocular comfort levels.
