What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Rho-Kinase Inhibitor (AR-12286)Drug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5% Rho-Kinase Inhibitor | Experimental | AR-12286 is a novel Rho-kinase inhibitor developed by Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Bridgewater, NJ. It is a potent Rho-kinase inhibitor with single-digit nanomolar inhibitory activity against Rho-kinase in enzymatic inhibition assays (deLong MA, et al. IOVS 2009; 50: ARVO E-abstract 4058). Mechanism-of action studies in monkeys demonstrate that AR-12286 lowers IOP primarily by increasing aqueous humor outflow through the trabecular meshwork (Wang RF, et al. IOVS 2009; 50:ARVO E-abstract 1465). Rho-kinase AR-12286 is well tolerated and produces clinically and statistically significant ocular hypotensive efficacy in patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma. It is well tolerated by most of patients and the only side effect was ocular hyperemia in a minority of subjects (Williams, Novack, Van Haarlem, \& Kopczynski, 2011). It is currently in phase II testing. Receives: Drug: Rho-Kinase Inhibitor (AR-12286) |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
IOP Reduction
Avoid surgical intervention of glaucoma treatment with use of AR-12286; long lasting effect of study drug to reduce IOP by increase of aqueous outflow
Measured: 6 Months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Tolerance and Lasting IOP Effect
To evaluate the ocular hypotensive safety (tolerance) of Rho-Kinase Inhibitor (AR-12286 0.5% and 0.7%) ophthalmic solution in patients who are avoiding surgical intervention and the long last effect of IOP reduction.
Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Rho-Kinase Inhibitor (AR-12286) in people with Glaucoma, run by New York Glaucoma Research Institute at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2015. 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 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
IOP Reduction (time frame: 6 Months). 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 24 Apr 2015.
