Latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution 0.024% (hereafter referred to as latanoprostene bunod 0.024%) [Vyzulta™] is a nitric oxide (NO)-donating prostaglandin F2α analogue approved in the USA for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension. It is thought to lower IOP by increasing aqueous humour outflow through the uveoscleral pathway (mediated by latanoprost acid) and increasing the facility of aqueous humour outflow through the trabecular meshwork pathway (mediated by NO). Results from two multinational, phase III studies (APOLLO and LUNAR) and a pooled analysis of these studies demonstrated the noninferiority of latanoprostene bunod 0.024% to timolol ophthalmic solution 0.5% (hereafter referred to as timolol 0.5%) in terms of IOP-lowering efficacy over 3 months in patients with OAG or ocular hypertension, with the superiority of latanoprostene bunod 0.024% over timolol 0.5% subsequently demonstrated in APOLLO and the pooled analysis. Moreover, there was no apparent loss of IOP-lowering effect in subsequent safety extension periods of up to 9 months. The IOP-lowering efficacy seen in APOLLO and LUNAR was confirmed in a phase III study (JUPITER) in Japanese patients, with IOP reductions observed early (week 4) and maintained over the longer-term (12 months). Latanoprostene bunod 0.024% was well tolerated over up to 12 months in these studies, with most ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) being mild to moderate in severity. Thus, current evidence indicates once-daily latanoprostene bunod 0.024% is an effective and well tolerated treatment option for the reduction of IOP in adults with OAG or ocular hypertension.
