Open-Angle Glaucoma Overview

Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible optic neuropathy and the most common form of glaucoma. It is defined by an anatomically open anterior chamber angle and characteristic structural changes of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer. The drainage angle between the cornea and iris remains open, but altered outflow dynamics contribute to optic nerve damage and gradual visual field loss. The disease occurs when the eye’s natural drainage system becomes partially blocked, with resistance developing within the trabecular meshwork, the spongy tissue that facilitates fluid outflow. This impaired drainage causes a gradual buildup of intraocular fluid, which raises pressure inside the eye and can damage the optic nerve.

Open-angle glaucoma can be classified into primary and secondary forms. In primary open-angle glaucoma, there is no obvious underlying cause, and the increased resistance appears to result from age-related changes in the trabecular meshwork. In secondary open-angle glaucoma, another condition, such as swelling, protein deposits, or cellular debris, directly contributes to or accelerates dysfunction of the drainage system.

Symptoms include gradual loss of peripheral vision, difficulty seeing objects at the edges of the visual field, missing letters when reading, and reduced visual contrast in low light. Most people do not notice these changes early, so the disease can progress silently and cause irreversible vision loss before detection, which makes regular comprehensive eye examinations essential.

Treatment aims to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent optic nerve damage. This is primarily achieved with eye drops such as prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. When medical therapy is insufficient or poorly tolerated, laser trabeculoplasty and surgical options, including trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, are used.

Open-Angle Glaucoma Emerging Drugs Profile

HUC3-637: Huons Co., Ltd.

HUC3-637 is an investigational ophthalmic drug developed by Huons Co., Ltd. for primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is a fixed-dose combination of dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and timolol, a beta-blocker, formulated as a topical eye drop. It is designed to reduce IOP, the primary risk factor for glaucoma progression, by decreasing aqueous humor production through dual mechanisms. The drug is currently in the Phase III stage of development for Open-Angle Glaucoma.

QLS-111: Qlaris Bio, Inc.

QLS-111 is a novel formulation built on an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel modulator platform. It is designed to reduce IOP by relaxing blood vessels and vascular-like tissues distal to the trabecular meshwork, which decreases distal outflow resistance and lowers episcleral venous pressure (EVP), a key factor in overall IOP regulation. Clinical studies have demonstrated sustained IOP reduction both as monotherapy and in combination with standard treatments such as latanoprost, showing additive efficacy. The drug has also shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no significant hyperemia or serious adverse events reported. It is currently in the Phase II/III stage of development for Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Xelafaslatide (ONL1204): ONL Therapeutics

Xelafaslatide (ONL1204) is a first-in-class small peptide that inhibits the Fas receptor, blocking activation of the Fas pathway and the related immune signaling that leads to death of key retinal cells and vision loss. By blocking Fas activation, it prevents downstream cell death signaling and inflammatory responses, preserving photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells. Phase 1b trials have shown it to be generally safe and well tolerated, with early evidence suggesting potential to slow disease progression, such as reducing lesion growth in geographic atrophy. The drug is currently in the Phase II stage of development for Open-Angle Glaucoma.

IVW-2001 (GVB-2001): iVIEW Therapeutics, Inc.

IVW-2001 (GVB-2001) is a first-in-class gene therapy candidate for primary open-angle glaucoma, described as the world’s first glaucoma gene therapy designed for all POAG patients without stratifying by genetic subtype. It uses an optimized self-complementary AAV vector delivered by a single intracameral injection directly to the trabecular meshwork, the anatomical core of aqueous outflow obstruction. By modulating cellular function and enhancing aqueous humor outflow, it aims to deliver rapid, durable IOP control and reduce irreversible optic nerve damage at its source. The drug is currently in the Phase I/II stage of development for Open-Angle Glaucoma.
