New Video: Novaliq presented positive topline data for two drugs in late-stage clinical trials. Have a look at the OIS video:

• The SEECASE trial met its prespecified primary endpoint for both treatment schedules at 8 weeks
• The trial further demonstrated pronounced improvements in a number of symptoms with statistical significance at all timepoints
• NOV03 is the first drug targeting evaporative dry eye disease associated with meibomian gland dysfunction

Our CEO, Christian Roesky, illustrated at the Ophthalmology Futures Forums how Novaliq will take on the challenge to break the vicious circle of Dry Eye Disease.

• The ESSENCE trial met its primary endpoint at 4 weeks and demonstrated superiority of CyclASol® over vehicle in change from baseline on corneal fluorescein staining
• CyclASol® further showed statistically significant improvements over vehicle in secondary symptom endpoints
• CyclASol® demonstrated an early onset of action, exceptional tolerability profile due to the benefits of its water-free formulation and its unique mechanism of active drug delivery
