24-hr Intraocular Pressure Control With Dorzolamide/Timolol vs the Brimonidine/Timolol Fixed Combination

May 9, 2014 updated by: AGP Konstas, Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki

Quality of 24-hour Intraocular Pressure Control Obtained With Dorzolamide/Timolol Fixed Combination (DTFC) Compared With the Brimonidine/Timolol Fixed Combination (BTFC) in Subjects With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma

The proposed study will compare for the first time the quality of 24-hour IOP control with Brimonidine/Timolol fixed combination (BTFC) versus Dorzolamide/Timolol fixed combination (DTFC) after a run-in period of 2 months with timolol. This crossover comparison may determine the real efficacy of the two fixed combinations and the design of the proposed study may explain for the first time why the 24-hour IOP reduction provided by BTFC is less than might be anticipated.
