E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of the study is to assess the therapeutic equivalence of two different formulation of Latanoprost (Latanoprost PK versus Xalatan) in the treatment of subjects affected by primary angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OH) treated for 12 weeks. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess local tolerability of the two formulations, in terms of local adverse events, To assess systemic tolerability of the two formulations in terms of changes in vital parameters (arterial blood pressure and heart rate will be registered at each visit), onset of systemic adverse events (registered at each visit) and changes in laboratory parameters (assessed at the entry and at the end of the 12-week treatment), To calculate the percentage change in IOP from start to end of 12-week treatment,
To calculate the reduction in IOP by both formulation, at each time point recorded at baseline and at the end of the 12-week treatment. |
