Background summary
Open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension are eye conditions associated with
abnormal high fluid pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure/IOP). If left
untreated, elevated IOP may eventually cause damage to the optic nerve and a
loss of vision. Treatment for both open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
is aimed at lowering pressure in the eye and there are different types of
medications that can be used for this. Among the pharmacological treatments,
the most commonly used are eye drops containing drugs of different classes.
SIMBRINZA is a fixed combination therapy. This product contains two glaucoma
medications in the same bottle (Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.2%
and Brinzolamide 1%). Brimonidine Tartrate belongs to a class of drugs used to
treat ocular hypertension known as alpha 2 adrenergic agonists. It has been
shown that Brimonidine Tartrate lowers IOP by both decreasing the production of
fluid (aqueous humor) as well as increasing the rate the fluid (aqueous humor)
drains from the eye. Brinzolamide belongs to a class of drugs used to treat
glaucoma and ocular hypertension, known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI).
CAI reduces increased intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing the production
of fluid (aqueous humor) in the eye.
DUOTRAV is a fixed dose combination eye drop containing a topical prostaglandin
analogue, travoprost 0.004%, and a topical beta-adrenergic receptor blocking
agent, timolol 0.5 %, which reduces increased intraocular pressure (IOP) by
complementary mechanisms of action.
This combination of medications may expand the treatment options available to
both clinicians and subjects in whom DUOTRAV alone does not provide sufficient
IOP lowering. It gives clinicians the option to manage the disease with 4
classes of medications (PGAs, beta blockers, CAIs and alpha agonists) using 3
drops/day.
Study objective
To demonstrate the additive IOP lowering effect of SIMBRINZA (dosed BID) when
added to DUOTRAV solution in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular
hypertension.
Study design
It concerns a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group study.
Duration of the treatment is about 42 days, divided into 2 sequential phases
for a total of 5 study visits.
Phase I of the study is open-labeled, which includes a Screening Visit followed
by 2 Eligibility Visits.
Phase II of the study is the randomized, double-masked treatment phase which
includes 2 visits: Visit 4 (at Week 2) and Visit 5 (Week 6, Exit Visit).
At the Screening Visit, the PI will confirm that subjects have been on
continuous morning or evening DUOTRAV therapy for at least 28 days. If
qualified, each subject will continue with open label study DUOTRAV for the
duration of the study. After randomization (randomized in a 1:1 manner),
subjects will receive treatment with either SIMBRINZA or Vehicle adjunctively
to their DUOTRAV therapy.
Intervention
Not applicable.
Study burden and risks
The subjects will be asked to return the clinic up to 5 times. In 3 of the 5
visits an IOP measurement will take place at 2 different time points (around
9:00 and11:00). These 3 visits takes approximately 3 hours. During these
visits, the subjects are allowed to leave the clinical center.

Inclusion criteria
1. Subjects 18 years of age or older, of any race, diagnosed with either open-angle glaucoma (including pseudo exfoliation or pigment dispersion glaucoma) or ocular hypertension
2. Subjects currently on treatment with Travoprost 0.004% / Timolol 0.5% prescribed as approved in the country, on morning or evening dosing for at least 28 days prior to screening and that in the opinion of the Investigator may benefit from further IOP lowering
3. Qualifying mean IOP measurements at both the Eligibility 1 and Eligibility 2 visits, in at least 1 eye (the same eye(s) * 19 and * 28 mmHg at 9:00 while on a Travoprost 0.004% / Timolol 0.5% solution)
4. Must be able to understand and sign an informed consent form that has been approved by an Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee
5. Willing and able to attend all study visits
Exclusion criteria
1. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), defined as all women who are not postmenopausal for at least 1 year or less than 6 weeks since sterilization, are excluded from participation if: a. they are currently pregnant, or // b. have a positive result on the urine pregnancy test at Screening, or // c. intend to become pregnant during the study period, or // d. are breast-feeding, or // e. are not in agreement to use adequate birth control methods to prevent pregnancy throughout the study.
All women of childbearing potential are required to use adequate birth control methods which are summarized as follows: a. Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject). Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. // b. Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before Baseline. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment. // c. Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to Baseline). For female subjects in the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject. // d. Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception. // e. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS).;2. Subjects with any form of glaucoma other than open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
