InnoCore Pharmaceuticals recently announced it has signed an exclusive license and collaboration agreement with Allergan, Inc. Under the agreement, the companies will expand their existing collaboration and jointly continue to develop long-acting ocular drug delivery products for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases.
