Phase 3, Randomized Study Comparing Intracameral Bimatoprost Implant 15 µg and Selective Laser Trabeculectomy in Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We evaluate the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of 15-µg bimatoprost implant (higher dose than the currently approved product) compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods

Randomized, phase 3, 12-month, multicenter, paired-eye, patient- and efficacy evaluator-masked noninferiority study. Patients with inadequate IOP control were randomized to receive 360° SLT (day 1) or up to 3 administrations of 15-µg bimatoprost implant (day 4, weeks 16 and 32) in the primary eye and the alternative treatment in the contralateral eye. The primary endpoint was IOP change from baseline at weeks 4, 12, and 24.

Results

At weeks 4, 12, and 24, mean IOP change from baseline ranged fro
