Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the occurrence of hyperemia with, and efficacy of, bimatoprost 0.01 % for patients in Korea previously treated for open-angle glaucoma (OAG; including normal tension glaucoma) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Methods: In this multicenter, observational study (Asia Pacific Patterns from Early Access of Lumigan 0.01 % in Korea; APPEAL Korea), patients with unachieved target intraocular pressure (IOP) despite previous treatment received bimatoprost 0.01 % daily for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was incidence of hyperemia and its severity, graded using the standard 5-point photographic scale and grouped as “none to mild” and “moderate to severe”. Hyperemia shifts were reported. IOP and adverse events (AEs) were recorded. Results: Of 800 patients (intent-to-treat/safety population), 248 were switched from previous treatment to bimatoprost 0.01 % monotherapy. Hyperemia shifts from baseline at weeks 6 and 12 were unchanged (84.8, 89.8 %), improved (4.4, 4.8 %), or worsened (10.8, 5.4 %), respectively. The shift was significant at week 6 (P < 0.0001). Hyperemia did not worsen significantly in patients previously receiving a prostaglandin analog or prostamide (PGA/PSD). Baseline mean IOP ± SD was 17.0 ± 5.7 mmHg, decreasing to 14.6 ± 3.8 mmHg (P < 0.0001) after 6 weeks, and to 14.7 ± 3.6 mmHg (P < 0.0001) after 12 weeks. Patients switched from PGA or PSD (excluding bimatoprost 0.03 %) to bimatoprost 0.01 % experienced significant IOP reductions from baseline. Treatment-related ocular AEs were reported by 37 patients, the most common being hyperemia (7.3 %). Conclusions: This subanalysis of the APPEAL Korea study supports use of bimatoprost 0.01 % for previously treated patients with OAG (including normal tension glaucoma) or OHT who did not reach target IOP or were intolerant of previous treatment.
