Nicox - Key programmes continue to advance

Nicox’s Q1 results, reported on 19 April, were largely in line with our expectations. The company continues to make progress with its leading clinical programmes, with lead candidate NCX-470 having reached 50% of its enrolment target in the Phase III Mont Blanc trial assessing the drug candidate’s ability to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). As NCX-470 expands on an already-established dual IOP-lowering mechanistic approach, we believe, if approved, it could become the most potent single-agent glaucoma drug on the market in terms of IOP-lowering efficacy. Top-line data are expected in Q222. NCX-4251’s Phase IIb study in acute blepharitis is tracking well and results continue to be expected in Q421.
