What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Preservative free tafluprost 0.0015% eye dropsDrug

    Preservative free tafluprost eye drops will be administered once daily at 09:00 into both eyes for seven days. For masking purposes vehicle eye drops will be administered in the evening at 21:00.

  • Preservative free timolol 0.5% eye dropsDrug

    Preservative free timolol eye drops will be administered into both eyes twice daily at 9:00 and 21:00 for seven days

  • Preservative free FDC of tafluprost 0.0015% and timolol 0.5% eye dropsDrug

    Preservative free fixed-dose combination eye drops will be administered into both eyes once daily at 9:00 for seven days. For masking purposes vehicle eye drops will be administered in the evening at 21:00.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics after single and repeated administration of preservative-free FDC, tafluprost and timolol eye drops.

    The primary evaluation of pharmacokinetics will be based on the plasma concentration of tafluprost acid and timolol.

    Measured: There are 3 cross-over treatment periods, plasma concentrations will be measured on Day 1 and Day 7

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and tolerability after single and repeated administration of preservative-free FDC, tafluprost and timolol eye drops.

    The changes from screening/baseline will be evaluated in following variables:visual acuity, IOP, biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy findings and drop discomfort.

    Adverse events will be followed from screening to post-study visit.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7 of treatment periods I, II and III.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Preservative free tafluprost 0.0015% eye drops, Preservative free timolol 0.5% eye drops and Preservative free FDC of tafluprost 0.0015% and timolol 0.5% eye drops in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Santen Oy at 1 site in Finland.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 8 Jun 2012. 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 Finland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Pharmacokinetics after single and repeated administration of preservative-free FDC, tafluprost and timolol eye drops. (time frame: There are 3 cross-over treatment periods, plasma concentrations will be measured on Day 1 and Day 7). 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 8 Jun 2012.
