RELATED TICKERS: NBY
Since NovaBay released results of their Phase II Proof of Concept study with partner Alcon for adenoviral conjunctivitis their shares have fallen 53% ($1.05 from $2.22). Their lead drug candidate NVC-422 failed to meet the primary endpoint of 20% better than placebo, coming in at only 9%. However, the drug performed 15% better than the placebo for epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), which is considered just as difficult if not more difficult to treat. At Day 11 and 18 blurred vision, a primary concern of patients and the FDA, was successfully treated in 85% and 92% of patients respectively (47% and 42% better than placebo). During the last conference call to discuss results the company stated that NVC-422 acheived "microbiological success", but didn't go into much detail. [more]
