Disclosed herein are methods of treatment for an intraocular pressure (IOP)-associated condition in a subject, that include administering to the subject an effective amount of a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the IOP-associated condition is glaucoma. The administration of a tPA therapeutic agent can be an extended administration intended to cause a reduction in IOP in the subject for a period of at least one day to a year or more, relative to IOP levels in the subject prior to administration of the tPA therapeutic agent. The tPA therapeutic agent can be, for example, tPA, a tPA derivative, a small molecule direct or indirect tPA agonist, or a gene therapy vector.
本文公开了治疗受试者眼内压(
IOP)相关疾病的方法,包括向受试者施用有效量的组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)治疗剂。在一个实施方案中,眼压相关疾病是青光眼。tPA治疗剂的给药可以是长期给药,目的是使受试者的眼压相对于给药前的眼压
水平降低至少一天到一年或更长时间。例如,tPA治疗剂可以是tPA、tPA衍
