Abstract:
To assess the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive topical netarsudil 0.02% and latanoprostene bunod 0.024% in patients with glaucoma. Methods: A retrospective, multi-center, cohort study of patients with glaucoma treated with netarsudil 0.02% or latanoprostene bunod from five tertiary care centers. Inclusion criteria included patients with glaucoma treated with either medication as adjunctive therapy. Outcomes included mean absolute intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and relative IOP reduction from baseline. Adverse reactions and reasons for discontinuation were reported. One-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, and Mann Whitney U test compared the outcomes. Results: A total of 95 eyes (95 patients) on netarsudil and 41 eyes (41 patients) on latanoprostene bunod were analyzed. Mean duration of use was 54.3 ± 28 days for netarsudil and 82.9 ± 51.2 days for latanoprostene bunod. At the final visit, mean IOP reduction was 3.9 ± 4.6 mmHg (17.5 ± 6.0%) ( p 〈 0.0001) with netarsudil and 2.9 ± 3.7 mmHg (13.6 ± 16.3%) ( p 〈 0.0001) with latanoprostene bunod. IOP lowering did not depend on baseline number of IOP-lowering medications. The most common reason for discontinuation was non-effectiveness in both groups Conclusion: Similar to monotherapy, netarsudil and latanoprostene bunod demonstrated efficacy in lowering IOP when used as adjunctive therapy.
