Which extra drop works best for glaucoma patients?
NCT ID NCT06449352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 adults with normal tension glaucoma who were already using the eye drop latanoprost. Researchers added either netarsudil or brimonidine to see which combination lowered eye pressure more effectively. The goal was to find a better way to control the disease and prevent vision loss.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients 18 years and older * Diagnosed with normal tension glaucoma based on the following: * IOP ≤ 21mmHg * Optic nerve rim thinning and/or retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss consistent with glaucoma * Normal visual field OR visual field loss consistent with optic nerve or RNFL defects within the last year * Open angles assessed by gonioscopy * Have been on latanoprost monotherapy for at least 6 weeks Exclusion Criteria: If any of the following exclusion criteria are applicable to the subject or either eye, the subject should not be enrolled in the study. * Patients with angle closure glaucoma or secondary forms of glaucoma due to neovascularization of the angle, uveitic glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, or glaucoma due to congenital anomalies. * Other forms of secondary glaucoma. * Patients with abnormal anterior segment examination other than cataract will be excluded from the study. * Patients who have had incisional surgery for glaucoma (eg: MIGs). * Patients with refractory CME or CME persisting 3 months or more. * Children, cognitive impaired and critically ill subjects will not be enrolled. * Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) ≤ 500. * Prior allergy to brimonidine or netarsudil, and known to have previously failed either brimonidine or netarsudil. * Ocular surgery (e.g., cataract, laser, refractive) during the study or 1 year prior to entering the study. The principal investigator reserves the right to declare a patient ineligible or non- evaluable based on medical evidence that indicates they are unsuitable for the trial.
