Multi-Arm Feasibility Study Evaluating OTX-TP Compared to Timolol in Treatment of Subjects With Open Angle Glaucoma

December 8, 2016 updated by: Ocular Therapeutix, Inc.

A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Multi-Arm Feasibility Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of OTX-TP Compared to Timolol Drops in the Treatment of Subjects With Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how OTX-TP, a sustained release travoprost drug product, when placed in the canaliculus of the eyelid compares to timolol drops for the lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age at Screening.
  • Subject must have a documented diagnosis of ocular hypertension, open angle glaucoma.
  • Subject has a mean baseline (Day -7 and Day 0) Hour 0 (T0) untreated IOP of ≥ 24 mm Hg and ≤ 34 mm Hg in each eye, and (T0 + 4h) and (T0 + 8h) IOP of ≥ 22 mm Hg at Baseline Visit 2. Untreated IOP must be ≤ 34 mm Hg in each eye at all time points at both baseline visits.
  • Subject has a BCVA of 0.6 logMAR (20/80 Snellen) or better in each eye as measured using an ETDRS chart.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of any uncontrolled systemic or debilitating disease (e.g. cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, or cystic fibrosis).
  • Punctum size is smaller than 0.4mm or greater than or equal to 1.0mm.
  • Any single IOP in either eye at any time point during the Screening or either Baseline (Day -7/Day 0) Visits of >34 mm Hg.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: OTX-TPa
OTX-TPa is a hydrogel punctum plug eluting travoprost in sustained release of ~4µg/day over approximately 2 months. For study masking purposes, subjects in this arm will also have natural tears drops administered.

Experimental: OTX-TPb
OTX-TPb is a hydrogel punctum plug eluting travoprost in sustained release of ~3µg/day over approximately 3 months. For study masking purposes, subjects in this arm will also have natural tears drops administered.

Active Comparator: Timolol
Timolol Maleate (0.5%) ophthalmic solution dosed twice daily (BID). For study masking purposes, subjects in this arm will also have a hydrogel punctum plug with no drug placed for approximately 3 months.
Timolol Maleate (0.5%) ophthalmic solution dosed twice daily. Subjects in this arm will also have a hydrogel punctum plug without drug placed.
