The PL9643 Phase 3 MELODY-1 study in Dry Eye Disease demonstrated unprecedented symptom resolution.

Palatin Technologies (OTC PINK: PTNT) presented new preclinical data for its melanocortin agonists PL9654 and PL9655 at ARVO 2025, demonstrating promising results for treating diabetic retinopathy (DR). The compounds showed effectiveness in resolving inflammation, stabilizing blood-retinal barriers, reducing VEGF signaling, and protecting retinal ganglion cells. Key findings include vision preservation, inflammation control, retinal protection, and anti-angiogenic properties. Both compounds demonstrated efficacy through multiple administration routes, including topical delivery. This research is particularly significant as DR affects up to 80% of long-term diabetes patients, with CDC projecting U.S. cases to triple from 5.5 million in 2025 to 16 million by 2050. The melanocortin receptor system's role in regulating inflammation and tissue repair makes these compounds promising candidates for treating ocular diseases.
