PURPOSE: The efficacy of dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination (DTFC) versus latanoprost/timolol fixed combination (LTFC) in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertensive patients. METHODS: Patients were randomized to DTFC or LTFC for 6 weeks and switched to opposite treatment for Period 2. RESULTS: Thirty-two completed patients had a mean diurnal IOP of 19.5 ± 3.2 mmHg for DTFC and 18.9 ± 3.4 mmHg for LTFC (p = 0.12), with no significant difference found between DTFC and LTFC at any timepoint following a Bonferroni correction (p ≥ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Patients treated with DTFC and LTFC have a statistically similar ocular hypotensive effect.
