About This Study

The objective of this study is to determine if a combination of oral nicotinamide and pyruvate (N\&P) can maintain eye health as compared to placebo while standard-of-care intraocular pressure-lowering glaucoma medications are used to treat glaucoma. A total of up to 188 participants will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive N\&P or placebo for 87 weeks (20 months). Participants will be followed for a total of 91 weeks (21 months).

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Willing and able to provide informed consent for participation in the study. 2. Between 35 and 85 years of age. 3. Only one eligible eye per patient will be enrolled. If both eyes qualify, study eye will be elected based on the following characteristics (in order of most to least important): 1) disc hemorrhage, 2) higher intraocular pressure (IOP), 3) without previous filtering surgery, 4) better visual acuity. If both eyes meet these four criteria equally, then the study eye will be determined by random assignment. 4. Have a confirmed diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, or pigmentary glaucoma. 5. If there is a prior reliable 24-2, the MD should be better than -20dB. 6. Able to perform reliable visual field testing with 24-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA)-Standard SAP (defined as false positive rates \<15%, false negative rates \<30%) at the most recent office visit. 7. Have best corrected visual acuity better tha

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Q:Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Q:Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Q:Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Q:Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

Q:How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
