CORXEL and LENZ Therapeutics announced positive topline data from Phase 3 study in China for the treatment of presbyopia. In October 2024, CORXEL and the Company announced topline data from the Phase 3 safety and efficacy study in China. In the Phase 3 study, LNZ100 (1.75% Aceclidine) achieved the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints, with statistically significant three-lines or greater improvement in Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) at near, without losing one-line or more in distance visual acuity. The primary endpoint was met with 74% of patients dosed with LNZ100 achieving three-lines or greater improvement at 3 hours. The difference in efficacy was statistically significant in the LNZ100 treatment group compared to the vehicle-controlled group (p<0.0001).
