Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of AZARGA™ (Brinzolamide 1%/Timolol 0.5% Ophthalmic Suspension), dosed twice daily versus AZOPT® (Brinzolamide 1% Ophthalmic Suspension) and Timolol 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution, each dosed twice daily, in Chinese patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who were insufficiently responsive to monotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosed with open angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension and not sufficiently responsive to monotherapy.
  • Meet qualifying IOP criteria in at least 1 eye, including 21-35 mmHg at the Eligibility visit.
  • Willing to sign an Informed Consent form.
  • Contact lens wearer who is willing to remove lenses before instillation of study medication and wait a minimum of 15 minutes following drug instillation before re-inserting the lenses.
  • Able to discontinue use of current IOP-lowering medications per the minimum washout period.
  • Other protocol-specific inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Women of childbearing potential if pregnant, test positive for pregnancy at Screening/Enrollment visit, breastfeeding, or not in agreement to use adequate birth control methods to prevent pregnancy throughout the study.
  • Diagnosed with any form of glaucoma other than open-angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension.
  • Diagnosed with severe central visual field loss in either eye.
  • History of chronic, recurrent, or severe ocular infection, inflammatory eye disease in either eye.
  • History of ocular trauma within the past 6 months in either eye.
  • Current ocular infection or ocular inflammation within the past 3 months in either eye.
  • Ocular laser surgery within the past 3 months.
  • Intraocular surgery within the past 3 months.
  • Best-corrected visual acuity score worse than 55 ETDRS letters read (equivalent to approximately 20/80 Snellen, 0.60 logMAR or 0.25 decimal).
  • History of, or current clinically relevant or progressive retinal disease in either eye.
  • History of, or current other severe ocular pathology (including severe dry eye) in either eye, that would preclude the administration of a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) or beta-blocker.
  • Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry.
  • History of, or current condition or disease that would preclude the safe administration of a topical beta blocker or topical beta-adrenergic blocking agent.
  • History of spontaneous or current hypoglycemia or uncontrolled diabetes.
  • History of severe or serious hypersensitivity to CAIs, beta-blockers, or to any components of the study medication.
  • Less than 30 days stable dosing regimen before the Screening Visit of any medications or substances administered by any route and used on a chronic basis that may have affected IOP.
  • Recent use of high-dose salicylate therapy.
  • Anticipated use of any additional topical or systemic ocular hypotensive medication during the study.
  • Not safely able to discontinue all glucocorticoid medications administered by any route.
  • Currently on therapy or have been on therapy with another investigational agent within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
  • History of, or current evidence of severe illness or any other conditions which would, in the opinion of the Investigator, make the subject unsuitable for the study.
  • Other protocol-specific exclusion criteria may apply.
