NCT00800540

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the short term effects of two intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering medications on ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), ocular blood flow, intraocular pressure, and blood pressure in patients with glaucoma. Ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) is defined as the difference between arterial blood pressure (diastolic and systolic) and intraocular pressure. The primary efficacy assessment is based on diastolic ocular perfusion pressure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Overall Diastolic Ocular Perfusion Pressure at Week 6

    Diastolic ocular perfusion pressure (DOPP) is defined as the difference between diastolic arterial pressure and intraocular pressure. Diastolic arterial pressure was measured with a calibrated automated sphygmomanometer. Intraocular pressure was measured with a calibrated pneumatonometer. A lower DOPP indicates a lower optic blood supply, which can be a risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage).

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Circadian Diastolic Ocular Perfusion Pressure at Week 6

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Mean Flow Value in the Superotemporal Peripapillary Retina at Week 6

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Mean Flow Value in the Inverotemporal Peripapillary Retina at Week 6

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at Week 6

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

  • Mean Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure at Week 6

    Week 0, Week 6 (period-based)

  • +6 more secondary outcomes
