About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new method to deliver an approved medicine called Timolol in the eye of participants with glaucoma or ocular hypertension and requiring cataract surgery.
The study is conducted in two stages. The first stage (Stage 1/Phase 1) is intended to study the safety of 3 different doses of the study medication (called TimoD implant). The second stage (Stage 2/Phase 2) of the study is intended to study in greater detail the efficacy and safety of the 3 doses of the TimoD implant in comparison to a standard approved medication, timolol eye drops for 3 years.
