Abstract
Purpose: :
Characterize the 24 hr time course in IOP reduction for taprenepag (TAP) as mono-therapy and combined with latanoprost and to compare the IOP reduction of TAP with other single and dual combination agents as found in available published reports.
Methods: :
A randomized, single-center, crossover trial of TAP 0.01% qAM for 14 days in subjects with glaucoma or ocular hypertension was conducted. IOP was measured at 2 hour intervals for 24 hr. A time-matched 24 hr baseline IOP was taken prior to each crossover period. Using a longitudinal pharmacodynamic (PD) model of individual subjects’ data, IOP reduction from baseline was estimated. Data from the trial was added to a previously reported meta-analysis (IOVS 2010, 51:E-Abst 172) in order to compare with an earlier TAP trial and a model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) of prostaglandin analogs.
Results: :
Of 31 subjects randomized, 29 were available for the analyses. For the longitudinal PD model: (1) the magnitude of IOP reduction was directly related to baseline IOP (p<0.0001); (2) For similar baseline IOP, TAP + latanoprost significantly reduced IOP more than TAP alone (p=0.002) and was consistent over the 24 hr time course (p=0.51); (3) the effect of baseline IOP on IOP reduction was significantly different between TAP alone and TAP + latanoprost (p=0.028), resulting in a larger difference between mono and combination therapy at higher baseline values. For the MBMA: (1) time of maximum effect for TAP was estimated to be greatest between 11-14 hours after administration; (2) maximum effect for TAP mono-therapy after ≥14 days of treatment (baseline IOP = 25 mmHg) and 12 hours after qPM administration was estimated to be -6.27 [-7.27 to -5.27; 90% CI]; (3) IOP reduction with TAP mono-therapy was comparable to prostaglandin analogs (4) TAP + latanoprost had a higher average IOP reducing effect than a prostaglandin + timolol.
Conclusions: :
TAP reduces IOP consistently throughout the day and night. TAP + latanoprost reduces IOP more than prostaglandins or prostaglandin + timolol. The difference is expected to be larger at higher baselines.
