To compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of brimonidine-purite 0.1% with the marketed formulation of brimonidine-purite 0.15% (Alphagan P 0.15%) when used twice daily (BID) by patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension previously treated with brimonidine-purite 0.15% for at least 6 weeks.
In a 12-month, randomized, double-masked, multicenter, parallel group, non-inferiority study, patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who were treated with brimonidine-purite 0.15% BID were randomly assigned to continue brimonidine-purite 0.15% (n=102) or to administer brimonidine-purite 0.1% (n=105) BID for 12 months. IOP was measured at approximately 8 a.m. (hour 0) and 10 a.m. (hour 2).
Mean change from baseline IOP and adverse events.
Demographics and baseline characteristics were similar between treatment groups. Treated-baseline mean IOPs at both timepoints were similar between groups (p > or = 0.606). Brimonidine-purite 0.1% provided IOP-lowering that was non-inferior to brimonidine-purite 0.15% at each of the 12 follow-up timepoints, and there were no statistically significant between-group differences at any timepoint. The most commonly reported adverse event was conjunctival hyperemia (13.5% for brimonidine-purite 0.1%; 10.8% for brimonidine-purite 0.15%). No significant differences in the incidence of adverse events were noted between the two formulations.
Brimonidine-purite 0.1% BID is as effective as brimonidine-purite 0.15% BID in lowering IOP in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who were previously treated with brimonidine-purite 0.15%, and both formulations are well tolerated. Limitations of the study include enrollment of only patients who were already on treatment with brimonidine-purite 0.15%. The 0.1% formulation of brimonidine-purite allows for decreased exposure to brimonidine while providing an IOP-lowering effect comparable to that of the 0.15% formulation.

比较0.1%的溴莫尼定纯品与市售的0.15%溴莫尼定纯品制剂(阿法根P 0.15%)对曾使用0.15%溴莫尼定纯品治疗至少6周的青光眼或高眼压症患者每日两次用药时的安全性和降眼压效果。
在一项为期12个月的随机、双盲、多中心、平行组、非劣效性研究中,将每日两次使用0.15%溴莫尼定纯品治疗的青光眼或高眼压症患者随机分配,继续使用0.15%溴莫尼定纯品(n = 102)或每日两次使用0.1%溴莫尼定纯品(n = 105),为期12个月。分别于上午8点左右(第0小时)和上午10点左右(第2小时)测量眼压。
眼压较基线的平均变化及不良事件。
各治疗组的人口统计学和基线特征相似。两组在两个时间点的治疗后基线平均眼压相似(p≥0.606)。在12个随访时间点中的每一个时间点,0.1%的溴莫尼定纯品降低眼压的效果均不劣于0.15%的溴莫尼定纯品,且在任何时间点两组之间均无统计学显著差异。最常报告的不良事件为结膜充血(0.1%的溴莫尼定纯品为13.5%;0.15%的溴莫尼定纯品为10.8%)。两种制剂的不良事件发生率无显著差异。
对于曾使用0.15%溴莫尼定纯品治疗的青光眼或高眼压症患者,每日两次使用0.1%的溴莫尼定纯品降低眼压的效果与每日两次使用0.15%的溴莫尼定纯品相同,且两种制剂耐受性均良好。本研究的局限性包括仅纳入了已使用0.15%溴莫尼定纯品治疗的患者。0.1%的溴莫尼定纯品制剂可减少对溴莫尼定的暴露,同时提供与0.15%制剂相当的降眼压效果。临床试验已在clinicaltrials.gov注册;标识符:NCT00168363。
