New eye drop shows promise for glaucoma control in chinese patients
NCT ID NCT06666855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new eye drop called DE-117B in 345 Chinese adults with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. The goal is to see if it safely lowers eye pressure better than an existing drug. Participants use the drops once daily for at least 4 weeks, with long-term follow-up. This is a disease-control treatment, not a cure, so patients will need to keep using medication to manage their condition.
