General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 30 days piromelatine treatment vs placebo in ocular hypertension (OHT) or primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
This clinical trial was conducted in compliance with the current revision of the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and current regulatory regulations (WMO).
The principles of informed consent were implemented according to the 2013 version of the Declaration of Helsinki, the ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and regulatory requirements (WMO).
|
||
Background therapy |
N.A. | ||
Evidence for comparator |
A placebo group was required in order to differentiate any investigational drug effect from any improvement that could occur solely due to the close care and medical oversight given to the patients under trial conditions. The matching placebo tablets for piromelatine contained only the excipients and were indistinguishable from the piromelatine tablets. | ||

End point description |
The efficacy analysis for the secondary and exploratory endpoints were carried out using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment as the main effect and baseline score and study site as covariates.
For IOP, the statistical analysis was done for the data obtained from the eye with the higher baseline IOP. If baseline IOP was the same in the two eyes (±2 mm Hg) the right eye IOP was used.

Adverse event reporting additional description |
AEs which occurred after the subject had signed the Informed Consent Form but before the first administration of IMP (pre-treatment adverse events) were collected in the same manner as AEs which occured after the first administration of IMP.
