OXERVATE
OXERVATE (cenegermin-bkbj) is a recombinant human nerve growth factor ophthalmic solution. It is indicated for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis, a condition affecting the cornea. As a recombinant version of an endogenous protein, the medication provides a therapeutic approach to supporting corneal health and maintenance.
How OXERVATE Works
Cenegermin-bkbj acts as a recombinant form of human nerve growth factor, an endogenous protein involved in the differentiation and maintenance of neurons. The drug targets specific high-affinity (TrkA) and low-affinity (p75NTR) nerve growth factor receptors located in the anterior segment of the eye. By interacting with these receptors, the medication supports corneal innervation and maintains the integrity of the ocular surface.
