Two ARVO presentations will feature research results from the company's preclinical research in Corneal Nerve Repair and Myopia STUART, Fla., March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stuart Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment of anterior segment, refractive and posterior segment eye disorders, today announced that it is sponsoring two research poster presentations by researchers at Vanderbilt University and the University of Rochester at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting, which will take place from April 23-27, 2023, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Session: Corneal Neuropathy and Ocular Pain (Session Number 138) Dr. Wareham will present in vivo research results demonstrating corneal and trigeminal nerve repair capabilities of Collagen Mimetic Peptides (CMPs) under development by Stuart Therapeutics for anterior segment indications including dry eye disease, neurotrophic keratitis, and other corneal dystrophies. The results show significant improvement in corneal nerve and tissue health in an atropine / desiccation chamber damage model as a result of treatment with certain CMPs, the active ingredient in the company's ST-100 drug candidate for dry eye disease. This research shows for the first time that CMPs are capable of repairing and restoring the neural circuit between the corneal nerves and the lacrimal nerve and lacrimal gland. The research was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Vanderbilt Eye Institute,Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Session: Mechanisms of Refractive Error and Eye Development (Session Number 142) Dr. Savage will present ex vivo research demonstrating significant recovery of collagenase-digested rat scleral tissues through the use of CMPs to restore scleral tissue integrity and organization through collagen repair and reorganization. This research is the first opportunity to demonstrate the ability of CMPs to reorganize disrupted structural scleral collagen, in work conducted at the Center for Visual Science, Flaum Eye Institute, University of Rochester.
