We are a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the treatment paradigm for patients living with chronic eye conditions through long-acting, sustained drug delivery of approved medicines. Our mission is to significantly improve the lives of patients with chronic eye conditions by developing durable drug delivery solutions that can empower patients and surgeons with confidence in long-term disease control and vision preservation.
Our lead product candidate, the Bimatoprost Drug Pad-IOL System (BIM-IOL System), comprising novel, proprietary drug pads attached to our intraocular lens (IOL), is designed to be implanted during routine cataract surgery to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who have either open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). The BIM-IOL System is designed to consistently deliver three years of bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog (PGA) approved for topical use by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001 for the reduction of elevated IOP in patients with OAG or OHT. We are also developing a non-IOL-based, ring-shaped, sustained-release implant with bimatoprost, which we believe could be implanted in a standalone procedure, enable retreatment of patients who have received the BIM-IOL System, and offer extended care to patients with OAG or OHT who already received a prior cataract surgery (these patients who have had their IOLs replaced with artificial IOLs are referred to as pseudophakes or pseudophakic patients).
