What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 10 AM at Week 12

    Mean IOP at 10 AM at week 12. IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure in the eye.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 10 AM at Week 6

    Mean IOP at 10 AM at week 6. IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye.

    Measured: Week 6

  2. Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 8 AM at Week 12

    Mean IOP at 8 AM at week 12. IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 8 AM at Week 6

    Mean IOP at 8 AM at week 6. IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye.

    Measured: Week 6

  4. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events

    Number of subjects with adverse events, defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, during the study (reported through the week 12 visit).

    Measured: Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fixed combination of brimonidine tartrate 0.2% timolol maleate 0.5%, timolol maleate 0.5% and latanoprost 0.005% in people with Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Allergan at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 10 AM at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00735449, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Apr 2019.
