Glaukos said federal regulators have approved a new drug
application for iDose TR, a treatment for ocular hypertension and
open-angle glaucoma.
The ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company
said Thursday morning that the Food and Drug Administration
approved the application for a single administration per eye of
iDose TR for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with
ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
Glaukos said iDose TR is designed to continuously deliver
therapeutic levels of a proprietary formulation of travoprost
inside the eye for extended periods of time.
The approval is based on two pivotal Phase 3 trials that
successfully achieved their primary efficacy endpoints through
three months and demonstrated a favorable tolerability and safety
profile through 12 months.
Glaukos intends to start initial commercial launch activities
for iDose TR in the latter part of the first quarter of 2024.
