Phase 3, Randomized Study Comparing Intracameral Bimatoprost Implant 15 μg and Selective Laser Trabeculectomy in Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

Bimatoprost implant 15 µg met prespecified criteria for statistical and clinical noninferiority to SLT in lowering IOP, and after 1, 2, or 3 administrations, demonstrated a duration of IOP lowering similar to SLT. Bimatoprost implant 15 µg was associated with corneal adverse events in some patients, especially after repeated administrations at a fixed interval, and has been discontinued from development. A lower dose strength of implant (bimatoprost implant 10 µg, Durysta) is US Food and Drug Administration-approved for single administration.
