What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in the Study Eye

    IOP is a measure of the fluid pressure inside the study eye. A result at the Final Visit that is lower than the result at Baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement).

    Time frame: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Physician Assessment of IOP-Lowering Effect in the Study Eye Using a 3-Point Scale

    The physician assessed the effectiveness of Ganfort® UD with regard to IOP changes from Baseline using a 3-point scale where: 1=Better than expected (best), 2=As expected and 3=Worse than expected. The number of participants in each category is reported.

    Time frame: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)

  2. Patient Assessment of Tolerability on a 4-Point Scale

    The patient assessed the tolerability of Ganfort® UD using a 4-point scale where: 1=very good (best), 2=good, 3=moderate and 4=poor. The number of participants in each category is reported.

    Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)

  3. Physician Assessment of Tolerability on a 4-Point Scale

    The physician assessed the patient's tolerability of Ganfort® UD using a 4-point scale where: 1=very good (best), 2=good, 3=moderate and 4=poor. The number of participants in each category is reported.

    Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)

  4. Percentage of Patients Who Discontinued Treatment

    The percentage of participants who discontinued treatment with Ganfort® UD up to the Week 12 Final Visit

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

  5. Percentage of Patients Prescribed by the Physician to Continue Treatment

    The percentage of participants who continued treatment with Ganfort® UD after Week 12.

    Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)

  6. Physician Assessment of Patient Compliance Compared to Previous Treatment on a 3-Point Scale

    The physician assessed patient compliance with Ganfort® UD compared to previous treatment using a 3-point scale where: 1=better (best), 2=equal and 3=worse. The number of participants in each category is reported.

    Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 to 12)
