NicOx submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for naproxcinod to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2009 and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) in December 2009, following the successful completion of three pivotal phase 3 studies.

The NDA for naproxcinod was accepted for filing by the FDA in November 2009 and the FDA has set a target date of July 24 2010, for the completion of its review.

In addition to naproxcinod, NicOx’s pipeline includes several nitric oxide-donating NCEs, which are in development internally and with partners, including Merck & Co., Inc., for the treatment of widespread eye diseases, cardiometabolic diseases, hypertension and dermatological disease.
