MRCT Evaluating NCX 470 vs. Latanoprost in Subjects With Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension (Denali)

September 4, 2025 updated by: Nicox Ophthalmics, Inc.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Multi-Regional, Double-Masked, Parallel-Group Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of NCX 470 0.1% vs. Latanoprost 0.005% in Subjects With Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension (Denali)

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NCX 470 Ophthalmic Solution in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjecs with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to NCX 470 0.1% or to latanoprost 0.005% to be administered to both eyes once daily in the evening for up to 12 months.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 84 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in both eyes
  • Qualifying IOP at 3 time points through the day at 2 visits following washout of IOP-lowering medication, if applicable
  • Qualifying best-corrected visual acuity in each eye
  • Ability to provide informed consent and follow study instructions

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Narrow anterior chamber angles or disqualifying corneal thickness in either eye
  • Clinically significant ocular disease in either eye
  • Previous complicated surgery or certain types of glaucoma surgery in either eye
  • Incisional ocular surgery or severe trauma in either eye within the past 6 months
  • Uncontrolled systemic disease

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline IOP
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Mean IOP change from time-matched baseline at 8AM and 4PM time points at the Week 2, Week 6 and Month 3 Visits in the study eye
Up to 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline in diurnal IOP
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Mean diurnal IOP change from baseline at the Week 2, Week 6 and Month 3 Visits in the study eye
Up to 3 months
Frequency and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Time Frame: 12 months
Number and percentage of subjects with ocular and non-ocular treatment-emergent adverse events
12 months
Rate of discontinuation
