Long-Term Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Effects and Adverse Events of Ripasudil in Patients with Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension over 24 Months.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and ripasudil was the first Rho kinase inhibitor approved as antiglaucoma medication. Here we present the final analysis of the ROCK-J study, a large-scale post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of ripasudil in Japanese patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension in a real-word clinical setting.. ROCK-J was a 24-month, prospective, open-label, observational study that included ripasudil-naïve patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who were initiating treatment with ripasudil according to the Japanese approved indication between June 1, 2015 and April 30, 2017. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) (including blepharitis, plus assessment of its background factors); the primary efficacy endpoint was change in intraocular pressure (IOP) from baseline to 24 months.. A total of 3374 Japanese patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension were evaluated for safety and 3178 for effectiveness of ripasudil over a mean 524.5-day observational period. Overall, 853 (25.3%) patients experienced adverse drug reactions; the most common were blepharitis (8.6%), conjunctival hyperemia (8.5%), and conjunctivitis (6.3%). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that patients were more likely to experience the ADR blepharitis with ripasudil treatment if they were female (hazard ratio [HR] 1.307; p = 0.040), had comorbid or a previous history of blepharitis (HR 2.178; p = 0.001), or had a history of allergy to pollen (HR 1.645; p = 0.003) or medication (HR 2.276; p < 0.001). IOP decreased significantly from baseline with ripasudil; the least-squares mean ± standard error change in IOP from baseline to 24 months was - 2.6 ± 0.1 mmHg (p < 0.001). Significant IOP changes were seen in four types of glaucoma, namely primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, primary angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma, and ocular hypertension.. Ripasudil was safe and effective as an antiglaucoma medication with no new safety signals identified and significant reductions in IOP maintained over 24 months of treatment.

Long-term Side Effects Including Blepharitis Leading to Discontinuation of Ripasudil.
Blepharitis was the most common side effect leading to discontinuation of ripasudil therapy. Prior allergic reactions to other topical glaucoma were found to be a risk factor for ripasudil-induced blepharitis.. To report the incidence proportion of blepharitis and its relating factors due to long-term use of 0.4% riapasudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, in glaucoma patients of a clinical setting.. One hundred three eyes of 103 consecutive glaucoma patients who started ripasudil treatment between December 2014 and February 2017 at our institute, and who had a follow-up period of over 6 months were enrolled in this study. Incidence proportion, time required for recovery and risk factors associated with blepharitis and other side effects that led to discontinuation of ripasudil treatment were considered.. The most frequently observed side effect was blepharitis (25.2%). The 12- and 24-month discontinuation rate due to blepharitis was 21.1%±8.2% and 34.6%±11.8% (average±SE), respectively (Kaplan-Meier analysis). Most patients recovered from blepharitis symptoms within 4 weeks, but 5 patients required over 8 weeks for recovery. Past history of allergic reactions to other topical glaucoma medication was significantly correlated with the manifestation of blepharitis (Cox proportional hazard model, P<0.007) while age, sex, intraocular pressure reduction rate, number of administered eye drops, history of systemic allergic diseases were not.. Blepharitis was the most common reason for discontinuation of ripasudil treatment. Although most cases were resolved spontaneously, prolonged blepharitis was observed in a few patients. A past history of allergic reaction to other glaucoma medication indicates a higher possibility of blepharitis with ripasudil use and warrants careful administration.
