About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Topical Latanoprost 0.005% Verses Timolol 0.5% Demonstrated by Corneal Biomechanical Correcting Modified Goldmann Prism

Topical Prostaglandin Analog vs Betablocker - Corneal Biomechanical Evaluation using CATS Tonometer Prism

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is a prospective, controlled, study and will be performed at one clinical investigative site in Tucson Arizona1. The purpose of this study is to determine if the device, CATS tonometer prism, measures intraocular pressure significantly differently than the current standard of care tonometer prism (Goldmann) before and after institution of topical prostaglandin analogs (PGA) for glaucoma treatment. Fifty percent of patients will be randomly placed on topical beta blockers as a control. The difference PGAs and beta blockers would be a measurement of the amount of corneal biomechanical changes made due to the PGA controlled for the effect of IOP lowering by the beta -blocker group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CATS Tonometer and Latanoprost in people with Glaucoma; Drugs, run by Intuor Technologies, Inc. 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2019. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IOP reduction (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT04178863, 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 26 Nov 2019.
