Study of the Effects of Artificial Tears on the Response to the Latanoprost Punctal Plug Delivery System in Subjects With Ocular Hypertension or Open-Angle Glaucoma

September 16, 2013 updated by: Mati Therapeutics Inc.

An Open-Label, Randomized, Phase 2 Study of the Effects of Artificial Tears Preserved With Benzalkonium Chloride (AT-BAK) on the Response to the Latanoprost Punctal Plug Delivery System (L PPDS) in Subjects With Ocular Hypertension (OH) or Open-Angle Glaucoma (OAG)

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of artificial tears preserved with Benzalkonium Chloride (AT-BAK) on the IOP response to the L-PPDS and to evaluate the safety of the L-PPDS in subjects with OH or OAG following treatment.
