Tie2 Activation via VE-PTP Inhibition With Razuprotafib as an Adjunct to Latanoprost in Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of razuprotafib, a novel Tie2 activator, when used as an adjunct to latanoprost in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

Methods

Subjects with OAG or OHT and an unmedicated IOP from ≥22 mm Hg to <36 mm Hg were randomized to one of three treatment arms: razuprotafib every day (QD) + latanoprost; razuprotafib twice daily (BID) + latanoprost; or latanoprost monotherapy. The primary endpoint was change in mean diurnal IOP from baseline at day 28.

Results

A total of 194 subjects were randomized, and 193 (99.5%) completed the study. Razuprotafib BID + latanoprost resulted in a significantly larger reduction in diurnal IOP than latanoprost alone (7.95 ± 0.26 mmHg vs. 7.04 ± 0.26 mm Hg, P < 0.05). A smaller improvement was observed after 14 days of treatment (7.62 ± 0.26 mm Hg vs. 7.03 ± 0.26 mm Hg, P = 0.11). Razuprotafib QD dosing did not demonstrate additional IOP lowering compared to latanoprost alone. Conjunctival hyperemia on Day 28 increased by 1.1 units on the four-point Efron scale two hours post dose from a baseline value of 0.6 units, and decreased thereafter.

Conclusions

Topical ocular razuprotafib as an adjunct to latanoprost therapy was well tolerated and significantly reduced IOP in patients with OAG/OHT.

Translational relevance

These data support the IOP lowering efficacy of targeting Tie2 activation in Schlemm's canal in the relevant patient population.

Project description:Purpose To evaluate the long-term safety of latanoprost benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free vs currently marketed latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution containing BAK (referred to as reference), to treat open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Patients and Methods This phase 3, multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, single group assignment, safety study included patients who previously completed a phase 3 noninferiority study. Patients self-administered 1 drop of latanoprost BAK-free nightly for 36 weeks in the affected eye(s). Intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity (VA), and slit lamp biomicroscopy were assessed predose at baseline and Days 28, 56, 84, 112, 140, and 168; dilated ophthalmoscopy and visual field (VF) at baseline and Day 168. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded throughout the study. Results A total of 161 patients who previously received latanoprost BAK-free (n = 80) or reference (n = 81) were enrolled. Latanoprost BAK-free maintained lowered IOP for both the study and nonstudy eye in all patients relative to baseline throughout the study. Clinically significant retinal or optic nerve changes were identified in 5 patients (1 mild-to-moderate change, prior latanoprost BAK-free; 4 mild changes, prior reference). No clinically important changes were identified for VA, slit lamp biomicroscopy, and VF measurements. Ocular AEs occurred in 66 (82.5%) vs 74 (91.4%) patients on prior latanoprost BAK-free and reference, respectively; the most frequent being eye pain (50.0% vs 64.2%) and ocular hyperemia (47.5% vs 54.3%). Most AEs were mild. There were 5 serious systemic AEs in 5 patients (n = 3, prior latanoprost BAK-free; n = 2, prior reference); all were considered unrelated or not likely related to treatment. One patient (prior reference) discontinued due to follicular conjunctivitis. There were no deaths or serious ocular AEs. Conclusion Latanoprost BAK-free was well tolerated. These findings support the chronic use of latanoprost BAK-free to treat OAG or OHT. Clinical Trial Registration Number NCT00945958.

Project description:BackgroundProspective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked trials have shown latanoprost instilled once daily to be at least as effective as and generally superior to timolol administered twice daily and to be as effective as other frequently prescribed prostaglandin analogues. This study prospectively assessed the efficacy of latanoprost monotherapy in a large cohort of treatment-naive patients with a broad range of baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) levels treated in actual clinical practice settings.MethodsThis prospective, open-label, multicenter, uncontrolled, phase IV study included treatment-naive ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma subjects initiating latanoprost once daily (evening). IOP levels were measured at baseline and after 1 and 3 months. The primary efficacy outcome was mean change in IOP from baseline to month 3. Analyses were stratified by baseline IOP: > or = 20 and <24 mmHg vs > or = 24 mmHg.ResultsEfficacy analyses (intent to treat) included 572 subjects: 20 to <24 mmHg group, N = 252; > or = 24 mmHg group, N = 320. Mean baseline IOP levels were 22.2 +/- 0.9 mmHg and 26.7 +/- 2.8 mmHg, respectively. At month 3, significant IOP reductions were seen in both groups (p < 0.0001, within-group differences); reductions were smaller in the 20 to <24 mmHg group (-6.3 +/- 2.4 vs -9.2 +/- 3.7 mmHg, respectively; -28.0 +/- 10.6% vs -34.1 +/- 11.9%, respectively). An IOP reduction of > or = 30% from baseline to month 3 was noted in 48.4% and 65.6% of subjects, respectively (p < 0.0001). At month 3, targets IOPs of < or = 18 mmHg were achieved by > or = 70% of subjects in both groups. Latanoprost was well tolerated with an adverse event profile similar to that reported in the literature.ConclusionsThis "real world" study found once-daily latanoprost to be effective and safe in treatment-naive ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma patients. Patients with baseline IOP levels of 20 to <24 mmHg as well as > or = 24 mmHg benefitted from initial latanoprost therapy.Trial registrationTrial registration numberNCT00647101.
