A Double-masked, Randomized, Multi-center, Active-controlled, Parallel, 12-month Study Assessing the Safety of AR-13324 Ophthalmic Solution, 0.02% QD & BID Compared to Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.5% BID in Patients With Elevated Intraocular Pressure

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ocular and systemic safety of Netarsudil
(AR-13324) Ophthalmic Solution, 0.02% q.d. and b.i.d. for 12 months compared to the active
comparator Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.5%.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. 19 years of age or greater.

2. Diagnosis of open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

3. Unmedicated (post-washout) IOP (Intraocular Pressure) >20 mm Hg and < 27 mm Hg in the
study eye at 2 qualification visits (08:00 hr), 2-7 days apart. At second
qualification visit, IOP > 17 mm Hg and < 27 mm Hg at 10:00 and 16:00 hrs (in the same
eye).

4. Corrected visual acuity in each eye +1.0 logMAR or better by ETDRS (Early Treatment
Diabetic Retinopathy Study) in each eye (equivalent to 20/200).

5. Able and willing to give signed informed consent and follow study instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:

Ophthalmic:

1. Glaucoma: pseudoexfoliation or pigment dispersion component, history of angle closure,
or narrow angles. Note: Previous laser peripheral iridotomy is NOT acceptable.

2. Intraocular pressure ≥27 mm Hg (unmedicated) in both eyes (individuals who are
excluded for this criterion are not allowed to attempt requalification), or use of
more than two ocular hypotensive medications within 30 days of screening. Note: fixed
dose combinations count as two medications.

3. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulations to be used (benzalkonium
chloride, etc.), to topical anesthetics or β-adrenoceptor antagonists.

4. Previous glaucoma intraocular surgery or glaucoma laser procedures in either eye.

5. Refractive surgery in either eye (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK (photorefractive
keratectomy), LASIK (laser eye surgery), corneal cross-linking, etc.).

6. Ocular trauma in either eye within the six months prior to screening, or ocular
surgery or non-refractive laser treatment within the three months prior to screening.

7. Recent or current evidence of ocular infection or inflammation in either eye. Current
evidence of clinically significant blepharitis, conjunctivitis, or a history of herpes
simplex or zoster keratitis at screening in either eye.

8. Ocular medication in either eye of any kind within 30 days of screening, with the
exception of a) ocular hypotensive medications (which must be washed out according to
the provided schedule), b) lid scrubs (which may be used prior to, but not after
screening) or c) lubricating drops for dry eye (which may be used throughout the
study).

9. Clinically significant ocular disease in either eye (e.g., corneal edema, uveitis,
severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca) which might interfere with the study, including
glaucomatous damage so severe that washout of ocular hypotensive medications for one
month is not judged safe (e.g., cup-disc ratio > 0.8, severe visual field defect).

10. Central corneal thickness in either eye greater than 600 µm at screening.

11. Any abnormality in either eye preventing reliable applanation tonometry of either eye.

Systemic:

12. Clinically relevant abnormalities (as determined by the investigator) in laboratory
tests at screening which may impact the study.

13. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to beta-adrenoceptor antagonists (e.g.,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchial asthma; abnormally low blood
pressure or heart rate; second or third degree heart block or congestive heart
failure; severe diabetes).

14. Clinically significant systemic disease (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, myasthenia
gravis, hepatic, renal, endocrine or cardiovascular disorders) which might interfere
with the study.

15. Participation in any investigational study within 30 days prior to screening.

16. Changes of systemic medication that could have an effect on IOP within 30 days prior
to screening, or anticipated during the study.

17. Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy, or
not using a medically acceptable form of birth control. An adult woman is considered
to be of childbearing potential unless she is one year post-menopausal or three months
post-surgical sterilization. All females of childbearing potential must have a
negative urine pregnancy test result at the screening examination and must not intend
to become pregnant during the study.
