About
ILUVIEN®
The Company’s primary product is ILUVIEN (fluocinolone acetonide
intravitreal implant) 0.19 mg sustained release intravitreal
implant, injected into the back of the eye. With its CONTINUOUS
MICRODOSING™ technology, ILUVIEN is designed to release
sub-microgram levels of fluocinolone acetonide, a corticosteroid,
for 36 months, to reduce the recurrence of disease, enabling
patients to maintain vision longer with fewer injections. ILUVIEN
is approved in the U.S., Canada, Kuwait, Lebanon and the U.A.E to
treat diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been
previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not
have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. In 17
European countries, ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of
vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered
insufficiently responsive to available therapies. In March 2019,
ILUVIEN received approval in the 17 countries under the Mutual
Recognition Procedure for prevention of relapse in recurrent
non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye.
The 17 European countries include the U.K., Germany, France, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway,
Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and
Luxembourg. The regulatory process is now in the national phase in
which the European member states have finalized or are expected to
finalize the label for the new indication to meet each country’s
local requirements. Timeline to this goal varies by each country,
and the non-infectious posterior uveitis indication for ILUVIEN was
launched in Germany and the U.K. in 3Q 2019. ILUVIEN is not
approved for treatment of uveitis in the United States.
