Co announced today that its subsidiary OphthaliX (OPLI) released results from a 24 week, placebo-controlled phase III study involving 237 patients with moderate-to-severe Dry Eye Syndrome who were treated with its licensed drug CF101, an A3 adenosine receptor agonist.
The patients were randomized to receive two oral doses of CF101 or a placebo, for a period of 24 weeks.
In the study, CF101 did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint of complete clearing of corneal staining, nor the secondary efficacy endpoints. Nonetheless, CF101 was found to be well tolerated.
Global Data estimates that the global market for rheumatoid arthritis therapeutics was $12 billion in 2010 and is projected to reach $18 billion by 2020. The global market for treating psoriasis was $3.3 billion in 2010 and is projected to reach $6.7 billion by 2018, according to Global Data.
OphthaliX is also developing CF101 for the treatment of Glaucoma and Uveitis. The interim data from the ongoing phase II study in Glaucoma is expected to be released during 2014.
