Abstract
Objective
To characterize the effect of netarsudil 0.02% on episcleral blood flow in treatment-naive glaucoma suspect or ocular hypertension subjects.
Design
Prospective, unmasked, single-arm cohort study.
Participants
Ten treatment-naive patients with a diagnosis of glaucoma suspect or ocular hypertension.
Methods
Erythrocyte-mediated angiography (EMA) was used to measure episcleral erythrocyte velocity, vessel diameter, and blood flow at baseline before treatment, 1 hour after drop instillation (T1), 1 to 2 weeks after daily netarsudil 0.02% drop use (T2), and 1 hour after drop instillation at the 1-to-2-week time point (T3). Intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure were measured at each visit.
Main Outcome Measures
Change in episcleral venous erythrocyte velocity, diameter, and blood flow between time points analyzed using generalized estimating equation models.
Results
Of the 18 eligible study eyes of 10 enrolled treatment-naive subjects, baseline IOP was 16.8 ± 3.6 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation), which significantly decreased to 13.9 ± 4.2 mmHg at T1, 12.6 ± 4.1 mmHg at T2, and 11.8 ± 4.7 mmHg at T3 (P < 0.05 at each time point compared with baseline). Episcleral vessels averaged 61.3 ± 5.3 μm in diameter at baseline which increased significantly at all posttreatment time points (78.0 ± 6.6, 74.0 ± 5.2, 76.9 ± 6.9 μm, respectively; mean ± standard deviation, P < 0.05 for each time point). Episcleral venous flowrates were 0.40 ± 0.22 uL/minute (mean ± standard deviation) at baseline, which increased significantly to 0.69 ± 0.45 uL/min at T1 (P = 0.01), did not significantly differ at T2 (0.38 ± 0.30 uL/minute), and increased significantly to 0.54 ± 0.32 uL/minute at T3 (P < 0.05 compared with baseline and T2).
Conclusions
Netarsudil causes episcleral venous dilation at all time points and resulting increases in episcleral venous flowrates 1 hour after drop instillation. Increased episcleral venous flow, associated with decreased episcleral venous pressure, may result in lowered IOP.
