Commercial Out-licensed Product

  • VYZULTA® (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution), 0.024% U.S. prescriptions2 increased by 35% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021. VYZULTA, exclusively licensed worldwide to Bausch + Lomb, was recently approved in Bahrain and Lebanon, meaning it is now approved in 18 countries, and commercialized in 7 of them. VYZULTA is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Product Candidates

  • NCX 470, Nicox’s lead clinical product candidate, is a novel, potential best-in-class, nitric oxide (NO)-donating prostaglandin eye drop currently in Phase 3 program for the lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The last patient in the Mont Blanc first Phase 3 clinical trial of NCX 470 has been enrolled and the topline results are expected in November 2022. The topline results of the second Phase 3 clinical trial, Denali, will not be available by the end of 2023 as previously communicated due to several hurdles (including the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the U.S. and China). The Company will announce a new date for availability of the Denali results when we have more visibility on the overall timelines of the trial.


  • The results of the Dolomites Phase 2 clinical trial of NCX 470 in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension have been published by the Journal of Glaucoma, the official journal of the World Glaucoma Association. As previously reported, NCX 470 0.065% achieved statistical superiority compared to latanoprost 0.005% at all time-matched points measured on day 28, with a peak improvement in IOP lowering of 1.4 mmHg greater than latanoprost. All tested concentrations of NCX 470 were statistically non-inferior to latanoprost and the dose response of NCX 470 showed improved IOP lowering with each incremental concentration. NCX 470 was safe and well-tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events and no evidence of treatment-related systemic side effects.
  • The results from studies on the beneficial effects of NCX 470 in a nonclinical model of endothelin-1 -induced ischemia/reperfusion damage of the optic nerve head and retina have been published online in the peer-reviewed Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
  • Poster presentations highlighting the effect of NCX 4251, a novel, patented, ophthalmic suspension of fluticasone propionate nanocrystals of Nicox, in patients with dry eye disease as well as new non-clinical data of neuroprotective activity on NCX 470 were made at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2022 Annual Meeting, one of the key scientific events in vision research.
Only the figure related to the cash position of the Nicox Group as of December 31, 2021 is audited; all other figures in this press release are non-audited.
