Eyenovia and Formosa Pharmaceuticals Initiate Co-Development of Clobetasol Propionate Ophthalmic Suspension (0.05%) for the Treatment of Acute Dry Eye Disease in the U.S.

Product-candidate would incorporate new steroid with the Optejet® for the millions of dry eye patients who experience periodic flare-ups

NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: EYEN), a commercial-stage ophthalmic company with two FDA-approved products and a late-stage asset in pediatric progressive myopia, today announced that it has signed a non-binding agreement with Taiwan-based Formosa Pharmaceuticals (TWO:6838) whereby the companies will co-develop a formulation of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05% (“clobetasol propionate”) in combination with the Optejet device for the short-term relief of dry eye disease.

Both companies will conduct due diligence and work to execute a definitive agreement that will include the sharing of development costs and the division of profits upon commercialization. This agreement will effectively expand the existing collaboration agreement between the companies, which was signed in February 2023, which included the testing of clobetasol propionate in the Optejet and plans for a consultation meeting with the FDA to discuss dry eye indications.

Clobetasol propionate is a potent steroid that was approved by the FDA on March 4, 2024, for the reduction of inflammation and pain associated with the estimated seven million ocular surgeries performed in the U.S. annually. Currently, the U.S. market for topical ocular steroids and steroid combinations totals approximately $1.3 billion in sales. This additional acute dry eye indication could expand the use of clobetasol by the millions of people who experience flare-ups in their disease despite their existing treatments.

“Clobetasol propionate has a unique profile that lends itself to exploring for use in dry eye,” said Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer of Eyenovia. “The drug’s efficacy in pain and inflammation relief as well as its low incidence of adverse events could one day be a boon to the millions of dry eye patients who suffer from periodic flare-ups of the disease. The Eyenovia team looks forward to working with our partners at Formosa to move this project forward with our Optejet dispenser technology.”

Erick Co, President & Chief Executive Officer of Formosa Pharma, said, “Formosa Pharma is eager to take the next step in the evolution of our partnership with Eyenovia. We have already proven our respective technologies to be compatible, and successfully developing APNT® formulations for advanced delivery devices such as the Optejet represents a tremendous opportunity for both companies.”

Clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05% is the first product developed using Formosa’s proprietary APNT® nanoparticle formulation platform. Formosa’s APNT® platform reduces an active pharmaceutical ingredient’s particle size with high uniformity and purity, thereby allowing penetration to relevant compartments in the eye, and ultimately enhancing bioavailability.
