Pharmacokinetics of the Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Delivery System in Patients Undergoing Pars Plana Vitrectomy

July 2, 2013 updated by: Allergan
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of brimonidine following a single intravitreal administration of the 200 ug or 400 ug Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Drug Delivery System in patients 2, 4 or 8 weeks prior to undergoing a pars plana vitrectomy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Highest Vitreous Humor Level of Brimonidine in the Study Eye
Time Frame: 60 Days
The highest level of brimonidine measured in the vitreous humor of the study eye in any patient is reported for each treatment arm. The vitreous humor is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eye.
60 Days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Highest Aqueous Humor Level of Brimonidine in the Study Eye
Time Frame: 60 Days
The highest level of brimonidine measured in the aqueous humor of the study eye in any patient is reported for each treatment arm. The aqueous humor is the clear fluid in the chamber of the eye between the cornea and the lens.
60 Days
Percentage of Patient Samples With Plasma Levels of Brimonidine Below the Limit of Quantitation (BLQ)
Time Frame: 60 Days
Percentage of patient samples with plasma levels of brimonidine reported as BLQ (i.e., too low to be determined using standard methods). Plasma is the fluid portion of the blood.
60 Days
