Background

Nadolol is a nonselective beta adrenal receptor blocker that is used to lower blood pressure.

Nadolol was granted FDA approval on 10 December 1979.

Phase 3 Trial Shows Promising Results for Novel Encapsulated Cell Therapy in MacTel Treatment

• Phase 3 clinical trials of NT-501, an encapsulated cell therapy delivering CNTF, demonstrated significant reduction in disease progression for macular telangiectasia type 2 patients, with up to 52% reduction in ellipsoid zone loss. • The innovative implantable device, developed by Neurotech, maintains long-term viability with CNTF production documented for up to 14.5 years, offering a potential alternative to frequent intravitreal injections. • FDA review of the therapy is currently underway with a PDUFA date set for March 18, 2025, marking a potential breakthrough in MacTel treatment.
