Aqueous Suppressant Versus Aqueous Outflow on Ocular Blood Flow

January 23, 2014 updated by: Indiana University

Examination of the Effect of Aqueous Suppressant Versus Aqueous Outflow Enhancing Glaucoma Medications on Ocular Perfusion Pressure and Blood Flow: A Mechanistic Study

The purpose of this study will be to compare the aqueous production suppressant to aqueous outflow drugs in terms of the response to known vascular parameters. Specifically; systemic perfusion pressure, retrobulbar blood flow and retinal microcirculation.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

120 glacuoma patients

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients will meet all of the following inclusion criteria to enter the study:

  1. Age: 30 years or older.

  2. Diagnosis: confirmed open-angle glaucoma in at least one eye:

    1. glaucomatous visual field loss on Humphrey 24-2 or 10-2 perimetry
    2. glaucomatous optic disc cupping
    3. agreement between two baseline exams for reliability
  3. Best corrected visual acuity at least 20/60 in at least one eye.
  4. Prior Humphrey visual fields demonstrate acceptable reliability standards (see below).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Extensive Humphrey visual field damage consisting of either a mean deviation (MD) < -15 decibels or a clinically determined threat to fixation in both hemifields.
  2. Evidence of exfoliation or pigment dispersion.
  3. History of acute angle-closure or a narrow, occludable anterior chamber angle by gonioscopy.
  4. History of chronic or recurrent inflammatory eye diseases (e.g., scleritis, uveitis).
  5. History or signs of intraocular trauma.
  6. Severe or potentially progressive retinal disease such as retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment.
  7. Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry.
  8. Current use of any ophthalmic or systemic steroid which may interfere with this investigation.
  9. Cataract surgery within the past year.
  10. Resting pulse < 50 beats per minute.
  11. Severe, unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, renal, or pulmonary disease.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
