About

A Clear Focus on Eye Disorders

Ocuphire Pharma is a clinical-stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of several eye disorders.

Targeting Front and Back of the Eye Indications

Our pipeline currently includes two small-molecule product candidates targeting front and back of the eye indications.

Nyxol® Eye Drops

Our lead product candidate, Nyxol® Eye Drops, is a once-daily preservative-free eye drop formulation of phentolamine mesylate, a non-selective alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist designed to reduce pupil size and improve visual acuity. Nyxol is being developed for several indications, including dim light or night vision disturbances, pharmacologically-induced mydriasis, and presbyopia.

Nyxol is an investigational 505(b)(2) product candidate that has been studied in over 230 subjects across 7 completed Phase 1 and 2 trials.

APX3330 has been studied in over 440 patients across six Phase 1 and five Phase 2 trials.
