How does NCX 470, our de-risked compound in Phase 3 development for #glaucoma, work? And why can it offer potential benefits to patients? Data from our first pivotal trial, ‘Mont Blanc’, show that the dual mechanism of action of NCX 470 can achieve greater intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering – the only clinically proven method to slow progression of glaucoma - compared to the standard or care, latanoprost. NO is a well-known small, naturally occurring signaling molecule that plays a key role in the regulation of the lowering of IOP through the primary outflow route, working via the trabecular meshwork. Bimatoprost, an established prostaglandin analog (PGA) also known as Lumigan®, primarily lowers IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway from the inner chambers of the eye. NCX 470 is a novel nitric oxide (NO)-donating bimatoprost eye drop, designed to leverage the potent effects in lowering of both NO and bimatoprost. It works by releasing NO and bimatoprost into the eye to lower IOP by two different pathways in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.   You can see this explained in a video on our website: https://lnkd.in/d8HDbTTR. Results from Mont Blanc showed the IOP-lowering effect from baseline was 8.0 to 9.7 mmHg for NCX 470 vs. 7.1 to 9.4 mmHg for latanoprost. Statistical non-inferiority was met vs. latanoprost in the primary efficacy analysis consistent with the efficacy requirements for approval in the U.S. In addition, 4 out of 6 timepoints demonstrated statistical significance in favor of NCX 470. We are now looking forward to seeing confirmation of this clinical profile with the results from the ongoing “Denali” Phase 3 trial, expected in Q3 2025. #Glaucoma #MedicalInnovation #Ophthalmology #NCX470 #Biotech
