Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or greater.
  • Diagnosis of open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
  • Unmedicated (post-washout) Intraocular Pressure (IOP) ≥ 24 mm Hg at 2 eligibility visits (08:00 hr), 2-7 days a part, and ≥ 22 mm Hg at 10:00 and 16:00 hrs at the second qualification visit. If only one eye meets the IOP criteria it must be the same eye that met the criteria at all the qualification timepoints.
  • Corrected visual acuity in each eye +1.0 logMAR or better by ETDRS in each eye (equivalent to 20/200).
  • Able and willing to give signed informed consent and follow study instructions.

Who cannot join

  • Ophthalmic
  • Glaucoma: pseudoexfoliation or pigment dispersion component, history of angle closure or narrow angles. Note: Previous laser peripheral iridotomy is NOT acceptable.
  • IOP > 36 mm Hg.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation (benzalkonium chloride, etc.), or to topical anesthetics.
  • Previous glaucoma intraocular surgery or glaucoma laser procedures in study eye(s, e.g., laser trabeculoplasty).

Show all 19Show fewer
  • Ocular trauma within the past six months, or ocular surgery or laser treatment within the past three months prior to screening.
  • Evidence of ocular infection, inflammation, clinically significant blepharitis or conjunctivitis at screening (Visit 0), or a history of herpes simplex keratitis
  • Ocular medication of any kind within 30 days of Visit 0, with the exception of a) ocular hypotensive medications (which must be washed out according to the provided schedule), b) lid scrubs (which may be used prior to, but not after Visit 0) or c) lubricating drops for dry eye (which may be used throughout the study).
  • Clinically significant ocular disease (e.g. uveitis, severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca) which might interfere with the study, including glaucomatous damage so severe that washout of ocular hypotensive medications for one month is not judged safe (i.e., cup-disc ratio > 0.8).
  • Central corneal thickness greater than 600 µm.
  • Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry of either eye.
  • Systemic:
  • Clinically significant abnormalities (as determined by the treating physician) in laboratory tests at screening.
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to latanoprost.
  • Clinically significant systemic disease (e.g., myasthenia gravis, hepatic, renal, endocrine or cardiovascular disorders) which might interfere with the study.
  • Participation in any investigational study within 30 days prior to screening.
  • Changes of systemic medication that could have a substantial effect on IOP within 30 days prior to screening, or anticipated during the study.
  • Due to the current status of the preclinical safety program, women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy, or not using a medically acceptable form of birth control. An adult woman is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she is one year post-menopausal or three months post-surgical sterilization. All females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result at the screening examination and must not intend to become pregnant during the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean IOP across subjects within treatment group on each day at each post-treatment timepoint. IOP was measured at 0800, 1000, and 1600 hours on days 0, 14, and 28. IOP was also measured at 0800 hours on Day 7 and follow-up days 29 and 30.

    Measured: Study treatment was administered for 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Extent of Exposure

    Exposure to study medication in days for all treatment groups.

    Measured: 28 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AR-13324 Ophthalmic Solution 0.01%, AR-13324 Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% and Latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% in people with Ocular Hypertension and Open Angle Glaucoma, run by Aerie Pharmaceuticals at 22 sites in United States.

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 19 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 17 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 17 Apr 2018). 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?

Intraocular Pressure (IOP) (time frame: Study treatment was administered for 28 days). 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 17 Apr 2018.
