NicOx/Bausch + Lomb announce FDA acceptance of Vesneo NDA
Bausch + Lomb, the ophthalmology subsidiary of Quebec-based pharma company Valeant (NYSE: VRX) has announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has accepted for review its New Drug Application (NDA) for Vesneo (latanoprostene bunod), licensed to French pharma company NicOx.
Vesneo is an intraocular pressure-lowering single-agent eye drop dosed once daily for patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
If the application is approved, Vesneo will be the first nitric oxide donating prostaglandin receptor agonist in this indication. When administered, latanoprostene bunod is rapidly metabolized to two actives; latanoprost acid, a prostaglandin analog, and nitric oxide.
