About Ophthalmic Human Nerve Growth Factor (hNGF).

Ophthalmic human nerve growth factor (hNGF)—more formally designated in clinical pharmacology and regulatory classifications as recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) ophthalmic therapy—is a specialized biologic class represented clinically by cenegermin.

Agents in this class mimic endogenous human nerve growth factor, binding to high-affinity tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) and low-affinity p75 neurotrophin receptors on corneal epithelial cells and sensory nerves.

Through this mechanism, the class stimulates corneal nerve survival, neurite outgrowth, epithelial cell proliferation, and tear production to restore ocular surface integrity.

Its principal therapeutic indication is neurotrophic keratitis, a rare degenerative corneal condition resulting from trigeminal nerve impairment.
