No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a commonly prescribed orally inhaled corticosteroid treatment will induce a clinically meaningful elevation in intraocular pressure, when administered to patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Based on the response to high-dose corticosteroids, this patient group is more likely than the normal population to demonstrate this adverse effect.
