Three studies presented at the American Glaucoma Society meeting demonstrated the potential benefit of NCX 470 in patients with glaucoma.
NCX 470 (Nicox) is a nitric oxide-donating bimatoprost eye drop designed to lower IOP in patients with glaucoma. Sanjay G. Asrani, MD, presented data from the phase 3 DENALI trial that compared NCX 470 with latanoprost 0.005% in 696 patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
As Healio previously reported, NCX 470 achieved noninferiority in lowering IOP compared with latanoprost. Asrani said in his presentation that NCX 470 demonstrated greater IOP

In studies published so far, GLP-1 receptor agonists appear to be beneficial for the treatment of glaucoma, according to a review published in Cureus.
“GLP-1 RAs exert both protective and adverse effects on the eye,” Jacky Xiao Feng Huang, a medical student at California Health Sciences University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and colleagues wrote. “On the protective side, GLP-1 RAs improve retinal vascular regulation and help reduce inflammatory signaling in retinal tissues by preserving the blood-retinal barrier and lowering vascular permeability. ... Conversely, adverse
