A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Preservative Free Tafluprost Ophthalmic Solution (0.0015%) in Pediatric Patients Diagnosed With Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension
The purpose of the study is to examine how preservative free tafluprost ophthalmic solution
(0.0015%) is distributed in blood circulation after ocular administration in children who
have glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure. Tolerance to the drug and safety in general
will also be assessed.

cataract surgery, laser surgery, filtration surgery, implant surgery or
cyclodestructive surgery within 3 months prior to pre-study visit in one or both eyes.
- Patient has a history or evidence of significant ocular trauma within 3 months of
prestudy visit
- Patient has a history or evidence of recent ocular inflammation and/or infection
within 1 month of pre-study visit
- Patient has chronic conjunctivitis, chronic keratitis or lacrimal deficiency
- Patient is pregnant, breastfeeding, expecting to conceive within the projected
duration of the study
- Patient has had major (non-ocular) surgery, loss of > 5 cc/kg of blood within 4 weeks
of the pre-study visit
- Any other ocular, systemic or psychiatric disease/condition or laboratory abnormality
- History of febrile illness within 5 days prior to start of study treatment
- Patient has a history of hypersensitivity to any component of tafluprost eye drops, or
known severe or serious hypersensitivity to any prostaglandin analogue product (e.g.
latanoprost)
- Patient has a history of multiple and/or severe allergies or has had an anaphylactic
reaction or significant intolerability to prescription or non-prescription
(over-the-counter) drugs or food
- There is any concern by the investigator regarding the safe participation of a patient
in the study
- Current participation in another clinical trial involving an investigational
drug/device, or participation in such a trial within the last 30 days from the
pre-study visit
