About Nanoscope Therapeutics Inc.
Nanoscope
Therapeutics is developing gene-agnostic, sight-restoring
optogenetic therapies for the millions of patients blinded by
inherited retinal diseases, for which no cure exists. The company's
lead asset, MCO-010, recently announced the 100-week data from
RESTORE Phase 2b/3 multicenter,
randomized, double-masked, sham-controlled clinical trial in the
U.S. for retinitis pigmentosa (NCT04945772). The company has also
recently completed the Phase 2 STARLIGHT trial of MCO-010 therapy
in patients with Stargardt disease (NCT05417126). MCO-010 has
received FDA fast-track designations and FDA orphan drug
designations for both RP and Stargardt disease. Preclinical assets
include non-viral laser-delivered MCO-020 gene therapy for
geographic atrophies secondary to age-related macular
degeneration.
