In this study, the study team investigates the effect of topically-applied latanoprostene bunod (LTB) on the blood flow at the nailfold of the 4th finger in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. LTB is a new anti-glaucoma eye drop which received FDA clearance in early November 2017. It has two components: the prostaglandin analog (PGA) which decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) by enhancing the drainage of the aqueous (the fluid in the front part of the eye) from the eye, and the nitric oxide (NO) moiety which naturally dilates arteries in the body. The capillaries at the nailfold are comparable to those of the optic nerve head, which makes them a reasonable surrogate for evaluation of the effect of LTB on the blood flow. Therefore, this study may provide indirect evidence for the beneficial effect of LTB on blood flow to optic nerve which can potentially save the optic nerve from glaucomatous damage. Primary open angle glaucoma is a progressive condition and is the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a subset of the glaucomas defined by an open, normal appearing anterior chamber angle and raised intraocular pressure (IOP), with no other underlying disease.
In addition to LTB, the study team will use latanoprost (L), an-FDA approved PGA anti-glaucoma eye drop and normal saline (NS: the physiologic solution composed of 0.9% salt and water), as controls to make sure the effects of LPB on nail fold capillary blood flow is not due to its PGA (as L is) or due to the placebo effect (as NS is).
This study may also serve as background information for the development of new anti-glaucoma medications which can be injected into the eye to facilitate blood flow to the optic nerve.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 47 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Single (Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Patients will have baseline NFC blood flow measurements after application of cedar oil. Then the study team will use NF application of either normal saline, latanoprost 0.005% or LTB 0.024% in random sequence. The patient and imager will know which study article is applied. NFC blood flow will be remeasured after 15 minutes. Preliminary data on controls suggests that 15 minutes is sufficient time to see a change in blood flow. NF article application will occur on a specially designed well applied to the 4th digit of the non-dominant hand. Two masked observers will evaluate NFC blood flow. |

Official Title ICMJE | Effect of Nailfold Application of Latanoprostene Bunod on Nailfold Capillary Blood Flow | ||||||
Brief Summary | The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship of small blood vessels irregularities observed with an imaging system called video nailfold capillaroscopy in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a video camera with a magnifying lens used for studying the movement of blood in small blood vessels. It is simple, safe and does not penetrate the skin. The skin fold that is at the tip of the finder is called the "nailfold". NFC has been used to assess blood vessel narrowing in patients with glaucoma. | ||||||
