Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp., a leader in the development of innovative drug candidates to address significant diseases of the eye, today presented results confirming the mechanism of action of the Company’s lead glaucoma candidate, INO-8875, as a trabecular meshwork outflow enhancer. Studies were conducted in human trabecular meshwork cells and multiple preclinical models. INO-8875 has successfully completed a single-dose Phase 1/2 trial in glaucoma and is expected to enter Phase 2 trials with an eye-drop formulation in mid-2010. The data was presented in a poster presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. INO-8875 in an eye-drop formulation dose-dependently lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) by 20-25% from baseline at 1-2 hours after single doses in normotensive eyes. The IOP-lowering effect of INO-8875 was sustained for 4-6 hours post-dose. In human trabecular meshwork cells, INO-8875 rapidly activated the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 and stimulated […]

Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp., a clinical-stage drug development company advancing innovative drug candidates to address significant diseases of the eye, with a major focus on glaucoma, today announced that Paul G. Howes, President and CEO, will present a corporate overview at the Cowen and Company 30th Annual Health Care Conference on Thursday March 11, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference will be held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel, Boston, MA.

Inotek Pharmaceuticals today announced positive top-line results from a Phase 1/2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the Company’s lead candidate, INO-8875, in patients with glaucoma. Treatment with INO-8875 was well tolerated and resulted in a statistically significant reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP can be a risk factor in the development and progression of optic nerve changes and vision loss associated with glaucoma and is thought to be a causal factor in the neuropathology of the disease. INO-8875 represents a new approach to treating glaucoma patients by increasing the outflow of ocular fluid via the trabecular meshwork, the main pathway used by healthy eyes to maintain normal IOP. “The glaucoma market has not seen the introduction of a therapeutic with a new mechanistic approach for over a decade,” said Paul G. Howes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inotek. “We believe INO-8875 is an important investigational agent that […]

Inotek Pharmaceuticals today presented positive preclinical results supporting the Company’s lead clinical-stage drug candidate in glaucoma, INO-8875. INO-8875 is a highly selective adenosine-1 (A1) receptor agonist in development as a topical agent for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Elevated IOP can be a risk factor in the development and progression of optic nerve changes and vision loss associated with glaucoma and is thought to be a causal factor in the neuropathology of the disease. Results from preclinical studies of INO-8875 were presented in a poster presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc. (ARVO) 2009 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL. “Today’s results directly support our ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study of INO-8875 in glaucoma and more broadly validate Inotek’s growing ophthalmology pipeline which is focused on the development of therapeutics with novel mechanisms of action […]

Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued two new patents covering the Company’s two lead clinical compounds. US Patent number 7,423,144 relates to INO-8875, in clinical development as a novel treatment for glaucoma and US Patent number 7,432,369 relates to INO-4885, in clinical development for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy. “These patents cover important technology discovered and developed by Inotek scientists and serve as an initial foundation for our growing pipeline in ophthalmology and other select indications with significant unmet medical need,” said Paul G. Howes, President & Chief Executive Officer of Inotek. INO-8875 is a selective adenosine 1 agonist in Phase 1 clinical development as a topical agent for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure associated with primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Adenosine 1 receptors have been shown to play a role in reducing intraocular pressure by increasing the […]

BEVERLY, Mass., June 18, 2008 – Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation announced today that it has begun enrollment in a Phase 1 clinical trial with the Company’s selective Adenosine 1 agonist, INO-8875, for the treatment of glaucoma. In March, Inotek received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to advance INO-8875 into clinical trials. The initial study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the potential of INO-8875 to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients. Glaucoma patients typically have elevated levels of IOP which can damage the optic nerve of the eye and lead to partial or complete loss of vision. “We are pleased that our clinical program in glaucoma is progressing and I am encouraged by the strength of our preclinical data supporting the potential role of Adenosine 1 receptor agonists in managing intraocular pressure,” said Dr. Rudolf Baumgartner, Inotek’s Chief Medical Officer. “New mechanisms for lowering IOP are needed […]

Inotek Pharmaceuticals today announced that preclinical data supporting the Company’s lead clinical-stage drug candidate in glaucoma, INO-8875, will be presented in a poster session at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc. (ARVO) 2009 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL. INO-8875 is a highly selective adenosine-1 receptor agonist currently completing a Phase 1/2 trial as a topical agent for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The preclinical data suggests that INO-8875 lowers IOP primarily by restoring trabecular meshwork outflow, the most important outflow pathway to maintain IOP in healthy eyes. Additionally, INO-8875 may have a secondary mechanism of action to decrease IOP by reducing aqueous humor production. Norman Kim, M.S., DABT, Senior Director, Preclinical Development at Inotek will present the results of Abstract #4061/A223 entitled “INO-8875, An Adenosine A1 Agonist, in Development for Open-Angle Glaucoma Reduces IOP in […]
