New Delhi: Pure and Cure Healthcare has got a go-ahead from the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) to conduct Phase III clinical trial of the proposed fixed-dose combination medication Latanoprost(0.0500mg) plus Netarsudil Mesylate(0.2mg) ophthalmic solution, used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Latanoprost is a prodrug analog of prostaglandin F2 alpha that is used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It was initially approved by the FDA in 1998.
Elevated intraocular pressure leads to an increased risk of glaucomatous visual field loss. The higher the intraocular pressure, the higher the risk of damage to the optic nerve and loss of visual field. Latanoprost selectively stimulates the prostaglandin F2 alpha receptor and this results in a decreased intraocular pressure (IOP) via the increased outflow of aqueous humor, which is often implicated in cases of elevated intraocular pressure.
Netarsudil is a rho kinase inhibitor used to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. A Rho kinase inhibitor with norepinephrine transport inhibitory activity that reduces production of aqueous.
