| Nicox’s NCX 470 Demonstrates Sustained Efficacy through 12 Months in Denali Clinical Trial with no new Safety Observations | ||
October 2, 2025 – release at 7:30 am CET Nicox SA (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0013018124, ALCOX), an international ophthalmology company, today announced that it has completed the additional pre-planned analyses of the NCX 470 Denali Phase 3 clinical trial data. These analyses confirm an efficacy profile similar to that seen in subgroup analysis of the Mont Blanc trial. In addition, reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured in the long-term safety extension period of the Denali trial from 6 months through to 12 months. NCX 470 maintained robust IOP reduction during this period with no additional safety signals seen. New Drug Applications (NDAs) for NCX 470 are in preparation for the U.S. and China. A full summary of the status of NCX 470 was given in our Press Release of September 4, 2025. The Company plans to publish further data at upcoming ophthalmology conferences. Key Future Milestones
Denali Trial Design Similar to Mont Blanc, Denali is a randomized, multi-regional, double-masked, parallel group trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of NCX 470 ophthalmic solution, 0.1% compared to latanoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.005% in 696 patients in 90 sites in the U.S. and China. Latanoprost is the most widely prescribed first-line therapy for open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The primary efficacy evaluation was based on reduction from baseline in mean time-matched IOP at 6 timepoints: 8 AM and 4 PM at week 2, week 6 and month 3. The Denali trial also included a long-term safety extension from 6 months through to 12 months and was jointly conducted and equally financed with our Chinese partner, Ocumension Therapeutics. | ||
