About the Retinal and Optic Nerve Disease Clinical Programs
Noveome’s multi-target platform biologic and lead product, ST266, is the first potential therapeutic focused on treating the underlying nerve degeneration that occurs in glaucoma through an innovative, non-invasive, targeted intranasal device to deliver ST266 directly to the retina and optic nerve by-passing the blood-brain barrier. Noveome is currently conducting a Phase 1 open-label clinical trial to establish the safety of ST266 by intranasal delivery. Thus far, no drug-related serious adverse events and no pattern of safety concerns have been observed. The trial is expected to be completed in Q1 2021.
