Ocular Hypertension study: Rocklatan vs Latanoprost
Official title Measuring the Effects of Netarsudil, Latanoprost, and Combination Therapy on Episcleral and Retinal Blood Flow in Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma Suspects
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04401982
What this study is testing
What is Rocklatan (Netarsudil 0.02%/ latanoprost 0.005)?
This is an investigational eye drop being studied to see if it helps lower eye pressure in people with ocular hypertension. It is designed to lower eye pressure by combining a medicine that increases fluid drainage from the eye with a medicine that helps widen blood vessels in the eye.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study compares two eye drops to see if the combination (Rocklatan) increases blood flow in the veins around the eye more than latanoprost alone, and checks if the imaging tests can detect these changes.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have high eye pressure or are suspected of having glaucoma.
- What's involved
- Participants will be randomly assigned to use either latanoprost or Rocklatan eye drops. They will have eye imaging tests and regular eye exams before, during, and after treatment.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts several weeks, with multiple visits for eye exams and imaging at scheduled times.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
