Summary · why it matters

Nicox SA announced that its exclusive Chinese licensee Ocumension Therapeutics has received positive pre-submission regulatory feedback from the Chinese Center for Drug Evaluation for NCX 470, an innovative nitric oxide-donating bimatoprost eye drop for lowering intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Based on this feedback, Ocumension plans to file a New Drug Application in China shortly after the U.S. NDA submission, which is expected in summer 2026 by Nicox's exclusive U.S. partner Kowa. NCX 470 is licensed to Kowa worldwide except for China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, where it is licensed to Ocumension. Nicox is eligible for regulatory and sales milestone payments as well as royalties on global sales, with all regulatory and commercialization costs borne by Kowa and Ocumension.
