About this study
This study compares the efficacy and tolerability/comfort of brimonidine/timolol and dorzolamide/timolol in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In an investigator masked randomization process, each subject is allocated to recieve either brimonidine/timolol or dorzolamide/timolol as fixed-combination monotherapy or as an adjuctive to a prostoglandin analogue for a period of 12 weeks. After screening, patient returns at baseline, Month 1, and Month 3 for ophthalmic evaluations.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing brimonidine tartrate 0.2%/timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combination, dorzolamide hcl 2%/ timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combination and brimonidine tartrate 0.2%/timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combination as adjunctive to current prostaglandin therapy. in people with Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension, run by Bp Consulting, Inc at 1 site in Canada.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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 14 Jan 2009. 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 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?
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?
Change from baseline in mean IOP. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT00822081, 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 14 Jan 2009.
