Scientists probe eye fluid secrets to personalize glaucoma treatment

NCT ID NCT04412096

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at how the eye produces and drains fluid to understand why glaucoma medications lower eye pressure more in some people than others. Researchers measured eye fluid production, drainage, and pressure in 59 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure before and after treatment with timolol or latanoprost eye drops. The goal is to find factors that predict a patient's response to these drugs, moving away from a trial-and-error approach.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Timolol 0.5% eye drops and Latanoprost 0.005% eye drops
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which glaucoma drug will work best for each patient, leading to more personalized and effective treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on understanding eye pressure factors, not on proving a new treatment works. The findings may not lead to immediate changes in clinical practice.

Inclusion Criteria: * Any self-declared ethnicity-race * Open-angle with one of the following: 1. Untreated OHT ≥ 21mmHg 2. Treated OHT with history of IOP ≥ 21 mmHg on 2 prior clinic visits or IOP ≥ 21 mmHg at screening 3. Mild-to-moderate stage open-angle glaucoma based on history of untreated IOP ≥ 21 mmHg * Reliable Humphrey visual field test result within previous 1 year * Open on gonioscopy within previous 1 year * At least one eye must be phakic * Able to cooperate for aqueous humor dynamic procedures * Able to participate on site over the multi-visit study period * Contact lenses must be removed before topical fluorescein instillation and remain out until study testing the following day is completed. * Contact lenses must be removed for the entire duration of the study visits. * All study medication must be used without contact lenses in the eyes. Exclusion Criteria: * Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding * IOP ≥ 38 in study eye(s) or at discretion of the clinician * Refusal to remove contact lenses * Advanced visual field loss (MD ≤ -16 dB) or threat to fixation in study eye(s) or at discretion of the clinician * Study eye(s) with any sign of Fuchs cornea dystrophy as noted clinically with guttae and corneal edema * Narrow angle of ≤ Shaffer grade 2 for 180 degrees, peripheral synechiae, or peripheral iridotomy in either eye * History of acute angle closure crisis in either eye * History of glaucoma incisional surgery (e.g., trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage implant, Xen gel stent) in study eye(s) * History of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS, e.g., angle surgery, Cypass) in study eye(s) * History of any cycloablation surgery (e.g., micropulse or diode transcleral or endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation) in study eye(s) * Study eye cannot have history of any past SLT or ALT glaucoma laser treatments. * Study eye(s) cannot have any history of refractive surgery * Study eye(s) cannot have any history of herpetic infection of the cornea * Study eye(s) cannot have chronic or recurrent inflammatory eye disease * Study eye(s) cannot have ocular trauma within the past 6 months, other than uncomplicated cornea abrasion * Study eye(s) cannot have ocular infection in the past 3 months * Study eye(s) cannot have clinically significant retinal disease that includes proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vein occlusion, cystoid macular edema, wet age-related macular degeneration * History of intraocular or peri-ocular injections in study eye(s) within 3 months * History of oral steroid use within 30 days of screening Visit 1 * Any abnormality preventing reliable fluorophotometry (e.g., corneal scarring or severe dry eye with fluorescein staining) * Serious hypersensitivity to any components of study medications or risk from treatment (e.g., sulfa drug allergy, bradycardia, severe asthma, or emphysema) * Participants must be on minimum 30-day stable regimen prior to Visit 1 for a systemic medication that may affect IOP (i.e., sympathomimetics, beta-blockers, alpha-adrenergic agonists and blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, etc.). Any change of such medication during the study will result in exclusion. * Prohibited meds during study: cannabis products, brimonidine 0.025% (Lumify), bimatoprost 0.03% for eyelash growth (Latisse), topical ocular and peri-ocular steroids, oral steroids
