PG - 99-106 LID - 10.17116/oftalma202213806199 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new fixed combination of brinzolamide and timolol in patients with stages I and II of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Study patients were divided into 2 groups. The patients of the first group were prescribed Brinzolol Duo, the second group received an original drug Azarga. Regimen for both drugs was 1 drop 2 times per day for 84 days. The study included 7 monitoring visits: visit 0 (screening - 124 patients), visit 1 (randomization and treatment initiation - 120 patients), visits 2-4 (therapy), visit 5 (end of therapy - 117 patients), visit 6 (follow-up, study completion). RESULTS: Out of 120 patients included in the study, 117 subjects had completed all study procedures. It was shown that both compared drugs significantly reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). After 3 months, 46.5% of patients in the Brinzolol Duo group and 46.9% of patients in the Azarga group had IOP lowered by more than 30% compared to baseline, with IOP amounting to 0.05). The drugs were well tolerated, all adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate in severity. CONCLUSION: The new drug Brinzolol Duo (brinzolamide + timolol) significantly reduces IOP in POAG patients with efficacy comparable to Azarga.
