Aim: To assess the efficacy and safety of latanoprostene bunod (LBN) compared with latanoprost 0.005%, and to determine the optimum drug concentration(s) of LBN in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods: Randomised, investigator-masked, parallel-group, dose-ranging study. Subjects instilled one drop of study medication in the study eye once daily each evening for 28 days and completed five study visits. The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in mean diurnal IOP at Day 28.

Results: Of the 413 subjects randomised (LBN 0.006%, n=82; LBN 0.012%, n=85; LBN 0.024%, n=83; LBN 0.040%, n=81; latanoprost, n=82), 396 subjects completed the study. Efficacy for LBN was dose-dependent reaching a plateau at 0.024%-0.040%. LBN 0.024% led to significantly greater reductions in diurnal IOP compared with latanoprost at the primary endpoint, Day 28 (p=0.005), as well as Days 7 (p=0.033) and 14 (p=0.015). The incidence of adverse events, mostly mild and transient, was numerically higher in the LBN treatment groups compared with the latanoprost group. Hyperaemia was similar across treatments.

Conclusions: LBN 0.024% dosed once daily was the lower of the two most effective concentrations evaluated, with significantly greater IOP lowering and comparable side effects relative to latanoprost 0.005%. LBN dosed once daily for 28 days was well tolerated.

Clinical Trial Number: NCT01223378.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the incidence of the prostaglandin-associated periorbital syndrome (PAPS) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension after using topical prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) for 3-6 months.
  • Among the 55 patients studied, key indicators such as interpupillary distance and exophthalmos were measured, alongside subjective assessments of periocular changes, showing significant changes primarily at the 1 and 3-month marks.
  • Results indicated that bimatoprost resulted in the highest incidence of PAPS, with noticeable periorbital changes like eyelash growth and hyperpigmentation increasing over time.

Background: To evaluate and compare the long-term efficacy of medical treatments for normal tension glaucoma (NTG) in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP), and establish a hierarchical ranking based on their effectiveness. 'Long-term' is defined as a treatment duration of over 12 weeks in randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: This systematic review and model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) collected data of 795 patients with 997 eyes from RCTs.

This phase 2b, randomized, observer-masked, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel-group, multinational (USA and Japan), multicenter study (NCT03216902) assessed the optimal dose of sepetaprost ophthalmic solution in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. After washout, patients ≥18 years (USA) or ≥20 years of age (Japan) received once-daily sepetaprost for 3 months [0.0005% ( = 43); 0.

Background: Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) is a common preservative in topical ocular preparations; however, prolonged use may lead to deleterious effects on the ocular surface, affecting quality of life and reducing adherence to treatment and overall outcomes. This study compared the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of a novel once-daily, BAK-free, fixed-dose combination of latanoprost plus timolol with latanoprost or timolol administered as monotherapy or concomitantly.

Methods: This was a 6-week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled study in patients aged ≥18 years with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Assessment of aqueous humor dynamics in the mouse by a novel method of constant-flow infusion.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

Alcon Research, Ltd., Fort Worth, Texas 76134-2099, USA.

Purpose: To characterize a technique that concurrently assesses all aqueous humor hydrodynamic parameters in mouse eyes.

Methods: Mouse outflow facility (C) was determined by multiple flow-rate infusion and episcleral venous pressure (Pe) measured by manometry. The animals were then euthanatized, eliminating aqueous formation rate (Fin) and Pe.
