Triple Fixed-Combination Bimatoprost/Brimonidine/Timolol in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension in India: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study.

Introduction: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of a triple fixed-combination of bimatoprost, brimonidine, and timolol (TFC) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT) treated with fixed-combination or unfixed brimonidine and timolol therapy (dual-combination therapy). Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, phase 3 study, patients who received 4-8 weeks of dual-combination therapy twice daily and had an IOP >18 and <34 mmHg in at least one eye were switched (at baseline) to treatment with TFC twice daily for 12 weeks. At Weeks 4, 8, and 12 on TFC, IOP was assessed at Hours 0, 2, and 8. Primary efficacy variable: mean diurnal IOP change from baseline in the study eye at Week 12 (modified intent-to-treat [mITT] population). Sensitivity (per-protocol [PP] population) and subgroup (≤65 vs >65 years) analyses were performed. Safety, including adverse events (AEs), was assessed at each visit. Results: Of 126 patients enrolled, 121 and 103 formed the mITT/safety and PP populations, including 109 (90.1%) and 94 (91.3%) who completed the study, respectively. In the mITT/safety population, mean age was 58.6 years. Patients had open-angle glaucoma (51.2%), angle-closure glaucoma with patent iridotomy (36.4%), and/or OHT (13.2%). At Week 12, the mean diurnal change in IOP from dual combination-treated baseline was statistically significant ( Conclusion: TFC offers a beneficial therapeutic alternative for patients with glaucoma or OHT whose IOP is not sufficiently controlled with dual-combination therapy. Safety and efficacy findings support those of published studies of TFC in primary open-angle glaucoma and OHT, despite differences in study designs.
