PURPOSE: To determine the proportion of latanoprost low-responders among cynomolgus monkeys, and to evaluate the switching efficacy from latanoprost to tafluprost in latanoprost low-responder monkeys.

METHODS: Thirty-nine ocular normotensive monkeys were used in this study. Latanoprost low-responders were detected using a 2-step evaluation procedure. In the first step, the response to single administration of latanoprost was investigated in all monkeys. In the second step, the response to 7-day administration of latanoprost was evaluated in screened monkeys. We defined latanoprost low-responders as any monkey that showed intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction of 1 mm Hg or less during the 7-day treatment. Switching efficacy from latanoprost to tafluprost was then evaluated in a 3-phase switching study. Latanoprost was topically administered for about 1 week in phases 1 and 3, with tafluprost being topically administered for about 1 week in phase 2.

RESULTS: Eleven monkeys were "latanoprost low-responders." The maximal IOP reduction exhibited by these low-responders in the second step of the evaluation was 0.5±0.2 mm Hg (mean±SEM) during saline treatment and 0.8±0.2 mm Hg during latanoprost treatment. In the 3-phase switching study, the maximal IOP reductions were: 0.4±0.2 mm Hg in phase 1 (latanoprost), 2.4±0.3 mm Hg in phase 2 (tafluprost), and 0.5±0.2 mm Hg in phase 3 (latanoprost).

CONCLUSIONS: Latanoprost low-responders exist among cynomolgus monkeys. Switching from latanoprost to tafluprost reduced IOP, and tafluprost's IOP-lowering effect disappeared after switching back to latanoprost in the latanoprost low-responder monkeys. These results suggested that tafluprost might be effective for latanoprost nonresponder patients.
