Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery with intra-capsular IOL placement, able to give informed consent, and without beta-blocker hypersensitivity are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known hypersensitivity or contraindications to beta-blockers, clinically significant ocular disease other than glaucoma or cataract, angle-closure glaucoma, or those unable to attend follow-up visits are unlikely to receive benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 interventional trial enrolls small cohorts to examine safety and tolerability of three dose ranges of the TimoD sustained-release timolol implant. The implant is placed in one eye at the time of uncomplicated cataract surgery using an investigational injector system and is designed to release timolol slowly for up to one year. Three dose groups (low, intermediate, high) will each include six participants who receive a single implant and are followed for systemic timolol levels, intraocular pressure, and ocular safety including implant placement and removal. The primary focus is on detecting safety signals and tolerability, with any intraocular pressure effects recorded as secondary observations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the implant could deliver timolol for up to a year after cataract surgery, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for daily eye drops and improving medication adherence.
How similar studies have gone: Sustained-release intraocular implants for glaucoma (for example intracameral bimatoprost implants) have shown promise in lowering eye pressure, but a timolol implant like TimoD is a newer approach with limited published data.
