Open-angle GlaucomaPhase 4NCT00759239
Phase IV Randomised Double-masked Clinical Trial: Assessing Morning Versus Evening Dosing of a Fixed Dose Combination of Travoprost 0.004% / Timolol Maleate 0.5% in Patients With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension
A Phase 4 study testing Travoprost 0.004% / Timolol maleate 0.5% in people with Open-angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Alcon Research at 1 site in United Kingdom.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the IOP-lowering efficacy of a combination of Travoprost / Timolol maleate, dosed in the morning or in the evening, in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, who have an insufficiently controlled IOP (mmHg), and are using prostaglandin analogue monotherapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Travoprost 0.004% / Timolol maleate 0.5% in people with Open-angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Alcon Research at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 6 inclusion and 39 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 22 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Reduction in intraocular pressure (time frame: week 4, week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Nov 2016.
