Patients were changed from prior mono- or adjunctive treatment at Day 0 to TTFC dosed every evening and underwent active treatment efficacy and safety evaluations at Week 12.Results: In 474/522 (91%) patients who completed this trial an IOP (mm Hg) of 21.9 ± 2.0 on prior treatment was reduced by TTFC at Month 3: from all prior treatments 5.6 ± 2.6; from monotherapy 5.9 ± 2.3; from adjunctive treatments 4.5 ± 2.9; and from several of the most frequent individual treatments: timolol 5.7 ± 2.2; latanoprost 6.3 ± 2.6; and latanoprost/timolol fixed combination 4.4 ± 1.9. Ocular hyperemia was the most frequent adverse effect (n = 21, 4%). Both patients and physicians preferred TTFC compared to all prior and common individual treatments. The solicited symptom survey showed, following a modified Bonferroni correction (α/5), a reduced incidence with TTFC of ocular pain (P = 0.01) while the prior medicine had a lower incidence of burning on instillation (P < 0.001).Conclusions: Changing patients from prior mono- or adjunctive therapy to TTFC can provide on average a further reduction in IOP while demonstrating a favorable safety profile and a high patient preference.Keywords: travoprost/timolol fixed combination, primary open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, safety, efficacy, intraocular pressure Norbert PfeifferMaria-Luise ScherzerHubert Maieret alDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2010, Iss default, Pp 459-466 (2010)
