Lpath entered into an agreement with Pfizer in late 2010 that provides Pfizer an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP for ocular indications. Pfizer and Lpath are collaborating closely on the two iSONEP clinical trials.
Pfizer also has a right of first refusal, which expires in late 2013, for Lpath's cancer drug candidate, ASONEP™. Lpath is planning to further investigate ASONEP in a Phase 2 trial involving renal cell carcinoma patients and perhaps in a second trial involving patients with prostate cancer or neuroblastoma.
