Three Month Efficacy/Safety Study With a 3-Month Safety Extension of Brinzolamide 1%/Brimonidine 0.2% vs. Brinzolamide 1% or Brimonidine 0.2%

A Three-Month, Randomized, Double-Masked, Parallel-Group Study With a Planned Three-Month Safety Extension of the Efficacy and Safety of a Fixed Combination of Brinzolamide 1%/Brimonidine 0.2% Compared to Brinzolamide 1% and Brimonidine 0.2% All Dosed Three Times Daily in Patients With Open-Angle Glaucoma and/or Ocular Hypertension

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new ophthalmic suspension (Brinz/Brim) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) relative to its individual active components in subjects with open-angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension.

This study consisted of 7 visits conducted during 2 sequential phases: the screening/eligibility phase, which included a screening visit and 2 eligibility visits, and the treatment phase, which included 4 on-therapy visits conducted at Week 2, Week 6, Month 3, and Month 6. A washout period based on previous ocular medication preceded Eligibility Visit 1. Subjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria at both eligibility visits were randomized to 1 of 3 study drug groups. The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Brinzolamide/Brimonidine over a 3-month period, with an additional 3 months of study drug exposure intended to provide further safety data.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Sign Informed Consent document.
• Diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, with mean intraocular pressure within protocol-specified range at eligibility visit/s.
• Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Females of childbearing potential if pregnant, lactating, or not using highly effective birth control measures.
• Any form of glaucoma other than open-angle glaucoma.
• Severe central vision loss in either eye.
• Chronic, recurrent, or severe inflammatory eye disease.
• Ocular trauma within the preceding 6 months.
• Ocular infection or ocular inflammation within the preceding 3 months.
• Clinically significant or progressive retinal disease such as retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or retinal detachment.
• Best-corrected visual acuity score worse than 55 letters using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart.
• Other ocular pathology (including severe dry eye) that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, preclude the administration of study product.
• Ocular surgery within the preceding 6 months.
• Ocular laser surgery within the preceding 3 months.
• Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry.
• Any other conditions, including severe illness, which could make the subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study.
• Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply.
