Chinese ophthalmology company Ocumension has paid for exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Nicox’s (Euronext: Paris) NCX 470 in China.

The news sent shares in France-based Nicox soaring on Monday, with the price up by 14% by mid-afternoon.

NCX 470 is being developed for patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Ocumension will pay a one-time upfront payment of 3 million euros ($3.4 million) and a further 2.5 million euros when Nicox initiates a Phase III clinical study with NCX 470 outside the territory of this agreement.
