OcuCure Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the treatment of eye disease, reported final results from primate testing of its lead compound OC-10X, currently under development as a topical eye drop treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Results indicated a 43 percent inhibition of ocular neovascularization in primate eyes treated with OC-10X. The laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) primate model is considered the gold standard to demonstrate AMD efficacy.
