        The goal of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Dorzotimol eye drops, 20 mg/mL +&#xD;
        5 mg/mL manufactured by JADRAN-GALENSKI LABORATORIJ d.d. (Croatia) aimed at lowering elevated&#xD;
        IOP in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) versus&#xD;
        Cosopt® eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by Laboratoires Merck Sharp &amp;&#xD;
        Dohme-Chibret, France. The main questions it aims to answer are:&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  if the efficacy of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with&#xD;
             ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal;&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  if the safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular&#xD;
             hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        A total of 110 participants were screened and randomized 1:1 to the investigational drug&#xD;
        (Dorzotimol) group or the reference drug (Cosopt) group. 55 patients were recruited in each&#xD;
        group.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Researchers compared the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group with the reference drug&#xD;
        (Cosopt) group to see if the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug and the&#xD;
        reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma are&#xD;
        equal.&#xD;

        Reference product description and labeling:&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Trade name: Cosopt® INN or generic name: dorzolamide+timolol Pharmaceutical form: eye drops&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Composition:&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Active ingredients: dorzolamide 20 mg (dorzolamide hydrochloride 22.26 mg) and timolol 5 mg&#xD;
        (timolol maleate 6.83 mg).&#xD;

        sodium citrate 2.94 mg, mannitol 16.00 mg, hyetellose (hydroxyethyl cellulose) 4.75 mg, 1M&#xD;
        sodium hydroxide solution q.s. to рН 5.6, water for injection q.s. to 1 mL.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Manufacturer: Laboratoires Merck Sharp &amp; Dohme-Chibret, France Study duration: Screening: 7&#xD;
        days. Washout period: 7 days. The comparison product treatment lasted for 12 weeks (84±2&#xD;
        days), which was consistent with the reference product PIL. Follow-up period for safety&#xD;
        evaluation: 7 days. The overall study duration per patient did not exceed 100 days.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The efficacy was established based on analysis of the parameters as follows:&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Primary endpoint&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Mean IOP change from baseline. Secondary endpoints&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  IOP reduction rate to the target level of ≤ 18 mm Hg.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  IOP reduction rate greater than 20%.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  IOP reduction rate greater than 30%. Safety evaluation&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Incidence of other adverse events to a greater or lesser extent linked to the test or&#xD;
             reference product, including those evaluated from laboratory test findings.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Treatment safety will be assessed from recording adverse events via analysis of&#xD;
             complaints and symptoms, evaluation, and interpretation of the findings of instrumental&#xD;
             monitoring (biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, IOP measures, perimetry) and laboratory&#xD;
             tests.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Given that the test product may cause miosis resulting in transient visual acuity&#xD;
             reduced, the contribution of the visual acuity parameter 'Vis' is not taken into account&#xD;
             when assessing the treatment success.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed using Statsoft Statistica&#xD;
        Professional 13 and Microsoft Excel 2016 software.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the normality of distribution of quantitative&#xD;
        attributes. Parametric tests were used for testing statistical hypotheses for parameters with&#xD;
        the normal distribution, whereas nonparametric tests were used for parameters with the&#xD;
        variance of the distribution. Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for&#xD;
        comparing the study groups in terms of quantitative attributes. The comparison of intragroup&#xD;
        parameters before and after treatment was performed using the dependent samples t-test or the&#xD;
        Wilcoxon test. The intragroup comparisons were also performed using nonparametric repeated&#xD;
        measures ANOVA (the Friedman test). Qualitative attributes were analyzed using Pearson's χ2&#xD;
        test or Fisher's exact test (if the attribute incidence rate in at least one subgroup was ≤&#xD;
        5).&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Statistically significant are differences with p-values &lt; 0.05. Efficacy analysis of the&#xD;
        comparison products provides for a conclusion on&#xD;
  &#xD;
        • Noninferiority of the test product Dorzotimol, eye drops (JADRAN - GALENSKI LABORATORIJ&#xD;
        d.d., Croatia) vs. reference product Cosopt®, eye drops (Laboratoires Merck Sharp &amp;&#xD;
        Dohme-Chibret, France) by the primary endpoint:&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding a mean&#xD;
             intraocular pressure change from baseline either in the treatment or control group (p =&#xD;
             0.0939; Mann-Whitney U test).&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  The efficacy differences between the test and reference product by the primary criterion&#xD;
             do not exceed the noninferiority margin of 1.5 mm Hg.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Intergroup efficacy comparisons of the comparison products by the secondary endpoints have&#xD;
        also been performed, with statistical significance of intergroup differences evaluated:&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP&#xD;
             reduction rate to the target level of ≤ 18 mm Hg either in the treatment or control&#xD;
             group (p = 0.3061; Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol noninferiority&#xD;
             by this parameter vs. reference product.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP&#xD;
             reduction rate greater than 20% at visit 6 from baseline either in the treatment or&#xD;
             control group (p = 0.6336; Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol&#xD;
             noninferiority by this parameter vs. reference product.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP&#xD;
             reduction rate greater than 30% at visit 6 from baseline either in the treatment or&#xD;
             control group (p = 0.4492, Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol&#xD;
             noninferiority by this parameter vs. reference product.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The product safety was assessed from the vital parameters evaluation results, laboratory test&#xD;
        and instrumental monitoring data as well as the adverse event occurrence and severity.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The safety evaluation provided for the conclusions as follows:&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Analysis of these AEs is indicative of comparable safety of the test product:&#xD;
  &#xD;
               -  AE occurrence in the treatment group does not differ reliably from AE occurrence in&#xD;
                  the control group (p = 0.3242; Pearson's χ2 test).&#xD;
  &#xD;
               -  AE link to the test product was most characterized as 'probable'; there were no&#xD;
                  statistically significant intergroup differences by this parameter either (p =&#xD;
                  0.2774).&#xD;
  &#xD;
               -  AE severity was most characterized as mild; there were no statistically significant&#xD;
                  intergroup differences by this parameter either (p = 0.4309).&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  There were no statistically significant intergroup differences either when assessing&#xD;
             physical examination parameters or in terms of individual dynamics level.&#xD;
  &#xD;
          -  Analysis of the patients' laboratory test findings has identified statistically reliable&#xD;
             differences by certain parameters (hemoglobin, glucose levels); however, these&#xD;
             differences are also linked to patients' personality traits.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Thus, based on all criteria specified in the Clinical Trial Protocol, the test product&#xD;
        Dorzotimol and reference product Cosopt® demonstrate close efficacy and safety parameters.&#xD;
        There are no statistically significant intergroup differences by any efficacy criteria&#xD;
        tested. The efficacy differences between the test and reference product by the primary&#xD;
        criterion do not exceed the noninferiority margin of 1.5 mm Hg. The above-stated provides for&#xD;
        a conclusion on the test product Dorzotimol noninferiority vs. reference product Cosopt®.&#xD;

  The goal of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Dorzotimol eye drops, 20 mg/mL +
        5 mg/mL manufactured by JADRAN-GALENSKI LABORATORIJ d.d. (Croatia) aimed at lowering elevated
        IOP in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) versus
        Cosopt® eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by Laboratoires Merck Sharp &
        Dohme-Chibret, France. The main questions it aims to answer are:
  
          -  if the efficacy of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with
             ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal;
  
          -  if the safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular
             hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal.
  
        A total of 110 participants were screened and randomized 1:1 to the investigational drug
        (Dorzotimol) group or the reference drug (Cosopt) group. 55 patients were recruited in each
        group.
  
        Researchers compared the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group with the reference drug
        (Cosopt) group to see if the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug and the
        reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma are
        equal.

        Composition:
  
        Active ingredients: dorzolamide 20 mg (dorzolamide hydrochloride 22.26 mg) and timolol 5 mg
        (timolol maleate 6.83 mg).
  
        Excipients: benzalkonium chloride (as 50% benzalkonium chloride solution) 0.075 mg (0.15 mg),
        sodium citrate 2.94 mg, mannitol 16.00 mg, hyetellose (hydroxyethyl cellulose) 4.75 mg, 1M
        sodium hydroxide solution q.s. to рН 5.6, water for injection q.s. to 1 mL.
  
        Manufacturer: Laboratoires Merck Sharp & Dohme-Chibret, France Study duration: Screening: 7
        days. Washout period: 7 days. The comparison product treatment lasted for 12 weeks (84±2
        days), which was consistent with the reference product PIL. Follow-up period for safety
        evaluation: 7 days. The overall study duration per patient did not exceed 100 days.
  
        The efficacy was established based on analysis of the parameters as follows:
  
        Primary endpoint
  
          -  Mean IOP change from baseline. Secondary endpoints
  
          -  IOP reduction rate to the target level of ≤ 18 mm Hg.
  
          -  IOP reduction rate greater than 20%.
  
          -  IOP reduction rate greater than 30%. Safety evaluation
  
          -  Incidence of other adverse events to a greater or lesser extent linked to the test or
             reference product, including those evaluated from laboratory test findings.
  
          -  Treatment safety will be assessed from recording adverse events via analysis of
             complaints and symptoms, evaluation, and interpretation of the findings of instrumental
             monitoring (biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, IOP measures, perimetry) and laboratory
             tests.
  
          -  Given that the test product may cause miosis resulting in transient visual acuity
             reduced, the contribution of the visual acuity parameter 'Vis' is not taken into account
             when assessing the treatment success.
  
        Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed using Statsoft Statistica
        Professional 13 and Microsoft Excel 2016 software.
  
        The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the normality of distribution of quantitative
        attributes. Parametric tests were used for testing statistical hypotheses for parameters with
        the normal distribution, whereas nonparametric tests were used for parameters with the
        variance of the distribution. Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for
        comparing the study groups in terms of quantitative attributes. The comparison of intragroup
        parameters before and after treatment was performed using the dependent samples t-test or the
        Wilcoxon test. The intragroup comparisons were also performed using nonparametric repeated
        measures ANOVA (the Friedman test). Qualitative attributes were analyzed using Pearson's χ2
        test or Fisher's exact test (if the attribute incidence rate in at least one subgroup was ≤
        5).
  
        Statistically significant are differences with p-values < 0.05. Efficacy analysis of the
        comparison products provides for a conclusion on
  
        • Noninferiority of the test product Dorzotimol, eye drops (JADRAN - GALENSKI LABORATORIJ
        d.d., Croatia) vs. reference product Cosopt®, eye drops (Laboratoires Merck Sharp &
        Dohme-Chibret, France) by the primary endpoint:
  
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding a mean
             intraocular pressure change from baseline either in the treatment or control group (p =
             0.0939; Mann-Whitney U test).
  
          -  The efficacy differences between the test and reference product by the primary criterion
             do not exceed the noninferiority margin of 1.5 mm Hg.
  
        Intergroup efficacy comparisons of the comparison products by the secondary endpoints have
        also been performed, with statistical significance of intergroup differences evaluated:
  
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP
             reduction rate to the target level of ≤ 18 mm Hg either in the treatment or control
             group (p = 0.3061; Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol noninferiority
             by this parameter vs. reference product.
  
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP
             reduction rate greater than 20% at visit 6 from baseline either in the treatment or
             control group (p = 0.6336; Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol
             noninferiority by this parameter vs. reference product.
  
          -  No statistically significant intergroup differences have been observed regarding the IOP
             reduction rate greater than 30% at visit 6 from baseline either in the treatment or
             control group (p = 0.4492, Pearson's χ2 test), which is indicative of Dorzotimol
             noninferiority by this parameter vs. reference product.
  
        The product safety was assessed from the vital parameters evaluation results, laboratory test
        and instrumental monitoring data as well as the adverse event occurrence and severity.
  
        The safety evaluation provided for the conclusions as follows:
  
          -  Analysis of these AEs is indicative of comparable safety of the test product:
  
               -  AE occurrence in the treatment group does not differ reliably from AE occurrence in
                  the control group (p = 0.3242; Pearson's χ2 test).
  
               -  AE link to the test product was most characterized as 'probable'; there were no
                  statistically significant intergroup differences by this parameter either (p =
                  0.2774).
  
               -  AE severity was most characterized as mild; there were no statistically significant
                  intergroup differences by this parameter either (p = 0.4309).
  
          -  There were no statistically significant intergroup differences either when assessing
             physical examination parameters or in terms of individual dynamics level.
  
          -  Analysis of the patients' laboratory test findings has identified statistically reliable
             differences by certain parameters (hemoglobin, glucose levels); however, these
             differences are also linked to patients' personality traits.
  
        Thus, based on all criteria specified in the Clinical Trial Protocol, the test product
        Dorzotimol and reference product Cosopt® demonstrate close efficacy and safety parameters.
        There are no statistically significant intergroup differences by any efficacy criteria
        tested. The efficacy differences between the test and reference product by the primary
        criterion do not exceed the noninferiority margin of 1.5 mm Hg. The above-stated provides for
        a conclusion on the test product Dorzotimol noninferiority vs. reference product Cosopt®.
