NCT ID NCT06394973
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed Phase 2 trial tested two strengths of a new eye drop called T4090 against the existing drug Rhopressa in 161 adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The goal was to see which better lowers eye pressure over 7 weeks. Participants used one drop daily in each eye. The study aims to find a safe and effective alternative for managing these chronic eye conditions.
