Forward guidance

Ocuphire anticipates several milestones, including an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA for APX3330 in the second half of 2023 and a PDUFA date for Nyxol in Reversal of Mydriasis (RM) on September 28, 2023.

Tailwinds

  • Potential FDA approval of Nyxol in RM, triggering a $10 million milestone payment.
  • Topline results from the VEGA-2 Phase 3 pivotal trial of Nyxol in Presbyopia expected in late 2023.
  • APX3330 achieved statistical significance on a key pre-specified secondary endpoint in the ZETA-1 Phase 2 trial.
  • Oral APX3330 has potential as a non-invasive, early intervention treatment for DR patients.
  • Cash balance of $39 million expected to fund operations into 2025.

Headwinds

  • Success and timing of regulatory submissions and clinical trials are subject to risks and uncertainties.
  • Changes to clinical trial designs and regulatory pathways could affect outcomes.
  • The company's ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to continue to advance its product candidates is a risk.
  • Legislative, regulatory, political, and economic developments could impact results.
  • The Nyxol partnership may not facilitate commercialization or market acceptance of Ocuphire’s product candidates.
