One-year clinical evaluation of 0.4% ripasudil (K-115) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Fifty-two week administration of 0.4% ripasudil revealed IOP-lowering effects and an acceptable safety profile when administered as monotherapy or as additive therapy, in patients with open-angle glaucoma or OHT.

Additive Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Effects of the Rho Kinase Inhibitor Ripasudil (K-115) Combined With Timolol or Latanoprost: A Report of 2 Randomized Clinical Trials.

These clinical trials found additive IOP-lowering effects of ripasudil from placebo at trough and peak levels in combination with timolol and at peak level in combination with latanoprost.

Intra-ocular pressure-lowering effects of a Rho kinase inhibitor, ripasudil (K-115), over 24 hours in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension: a randomized, open-label, crossover study.

Ripasudil is a promising new topical medication to lower IOP for at least 7 hr after instillations in patients with POAG or OHT.
