Eton Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ETON) shares fell nearly 17% to $6.91 after hours as the U.S Food and Drug Administration didn't approve its EM-100 ophthalmic solution for allergic conjunctivitis.

The FDA application was made by Eton's partner, which wasn't named in a statement Friday, but in February, Bausch Health Cos. (BHC) said it acquired U.S. rights to EM-100.

Eton said no concerns were raised about the clinical data, and believes the issues cited in an FDA Complete Response Letter "can be addressed in the coming months."

Bausch Health didn't immediately reply to a request for comment late Friday.
