The company is also conducting a parallel two-year Phase III clinical trial, which will complete the last visit of the last patient in August 2024. This trial involves 18 centers and enrolls 777 patients. The top-line results of China CHAMP indicate that NVK002 has significant safety and efficacy, providing evidence that this drug could be a potential treatment option for worsening myopia in children.
