The quote states: “We are grateful for multiple opportunities to share an update on our APX3330 clinical program and our planned ZETA-2 pivotal trial, including the unmet need for an earlier intervention treatment to delay or prevent DR progression, the value of multimodal imaging in DR, and Phase 2/3 trial optimization and patient selection, with industry and scientific peers.”

This week, we’re at the BIO International Convention 2024 in San Diego. The Ocuphire team is looking forward to connecting with other innovators and leaders across the biotech industry and sharing more on our work addressing disease-related #visionloss. #BIO2024 

Members of our board and leadership team recently celebrated the opening of Ocuphire’s new laboratory space at BioLabs North Carolina in Durham, NC. This new space will expand our #research capabilities as we work toward deepening our understanding of the metabolic pathways that impact #retinalhealth to preserve the integrity of sight for more people.
