Latanoprostene Bunod 0.024% in Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma Switched from Prior Pharmacotherapy: A Retrospective Chart Review.

Introduction: Latanoprostene bunod 0.024% (LBN, Vyzulta Methods: This non-interventional, multicenter (United States), retrospective chart review included patients aged ≥18 years with OHT and/or mild-to-moderate OAG diagnoses taking 1-2 IOP-lowering treatments at the time of switch to LBN (index visit). Chart-extracted data included demographics, diagnoses, IOP and ocular assessments, other IOP-lowering treatments, adverse events (AEs), and reasons for discontinuation. The main study outcome was IOP change from the index visit to each of the next 2 chart-recorded follow-up visits. Analysis groups included the overall dataset and 2 subgroups of patients switched from PGA therapy to LBN: "PGA-all" subgroup [all patients previously on a PGA with/without another IOP-lowering product] and "PGA-monotherapy" subgroup [patients previously on a PGA alone]). Additional ocular outcomes (eg, visual acuity) were examined, if available. Results: The overall dataset included 49 patients (46 had OAD alone, 2 had OHT alone, and 1 had both). The PGA-all subgroup and PGA-monotherapy subgroups had 41 and 32 patients, respectively. Switching to LBN led to a ~25% IOP reduction from the index visit to Visit 1 that was sustained at Visit 2. IOP findings in the PGA-all and PGA-monotherapy subgroups were consistent with the overall dataset. No meaningful changes in other ocular outcomes were found. Of 14 ocular AEs, 3 were recorded as such (mild in severity, considered unrelated to treatment), and 11 were identified through review of interval ocular histories (no severity/relatedness information); none led to discontinuation. Conclusion: In this short-term retrospective chart review of mild-to-moderate OAG/OHT, switching prior IOP-lowering therapy to LBN produced an additional ~25% IOP reduction and appeared to be well tolerated.
