It is a synthesised collagen mimetic peptide that restores impaired helical collagen selectively in the extracellular matrix. 

According to Stuart’s preclinical research findings, ST-113 can restore collagen’s structural and cell signalling functions within the optic nerve, which will lead to decreased inflammation and restored nerve health.

Stuart has been working on ST-113 for glaucoma, which has included creating new endpoints suitable for a neuroprotective approach to the disease.

Stuart Therapeutics president and CEO Eric Schlumpf stated: “We wanted to partner with a leader in glaucoma therapeutics to bring this innovative drug candidate to the millions of glaucoma patients across the world, and Glaukos has delivered in this important disease area. 

“They bring critical focus on novel therapies, capabilities in drug product design and delivery and commercial strength worldwide.”
