E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
to investigate the 24-hour IOP lowering efficacy and safety of Bimatoprost 0.01% administered once at night compared to Timolol 0.5% administered twice daily |
valutare l’efficacia del Lumigan 0.01% rispetto al Timololo 0.5% nel ridurre la IOP durante le 24 ore. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
evaluete: mean 24-hours IOP changes from baseline, IOP at each time point of the daily curve, mean day and night IOP, ocular hyperemia score, mean 24-hours systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean 24-hours heart rate, incidence of adverse events, responses from questionnaire about drug tolerability and satisfaction |
valutare: • I cambiamenti della IOP media durante le 24 ore rispetto alla visita basale. • La IOP media di ogni misurazione durante la curva giornaliera. • I cambiamenti della IOP media di ogni misurazione della curva giornaliera. • La media della IOP giornaliera (8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00) e media della IOP notturna (0:00, 4:00). • La media della pressione arteriosa diastolica e sistolica e della frequenza cardiaca durante le 24 ore. • La presenza di eventi avversi. • Le risposte del questionario riguardo alla tollerabilità del farmaco |
