Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a 180μg/ml TID dose regimen of recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) eye drop solution administered over 8 weeks versus a vehicle control in patients with progressive primary open-angle glaucoma despite IOP control.
The secondary objectives are to measure the changes in BCDVA, visual field, ERG and structural changes in ganglion cell layer and nerve fiber layer thickness measured by optical coherence tomography. The secondary outcomes will be examined at 1, 4 and 8 weeks of therapy, and at 4 and 24 weeks after cessation of therapy (Week 12 visit and Week 32 visit), and will include functional assessments to investigate evidence of a persistent biological effect after discontinuation of the study treatment.

Detailed Description:
This is an 8 Week phase Ib, monocentric, randomized, double-masked, vehicle controlled, parallel groups, study with a 24 Week follow-up period to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of a 180 μg/ml recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) eye drops solution versus vehicle in 60 study participants with chronic primary open angle glaucoma.
Participants may qualify with either progressive optic neuropathy despite maximal current therapy (i.e. IOP reduction), or with stabilized IOP but diminished vision (central or peripheral).
Participants with a qualifying eye will be randomized 2:1 to topical recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) therapy or vehicle placebo control. Examinations for safety and efficacy will occur one week following initiation of therapy, and at 4, 8, 12 and 32 weeks.
All participants in either arm will be followed clinically at 4 weeks after cessation of therapy.
