Eyenovia Announces Development Collaboration Agreement with Formosa Pharmaceuticals
Formosa’s proprietary and innovative 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. This reduction in ingredient size may also expand the universe of existing and future drugs that could benefit from delivery using the Optejet®.
“We have assembled a large and growing body of evidence demonstrating the many benefits of Optejet®, including improved patient compliance and the achievement of therapeutic doses of medication with far less stress on the ocular surface than other forms of administration, such as standard eye drops,” stated
“Ophthalmology represents a core focus of our company and a significant part of our long-term growth plan,” stated Erick Co, Chief Executive Officer of Formosa Pharmaceuticals. “With Eyenovia’s novel Optejet® dispensing platform, we believe we can access a broad new range of potential uses for both existing and newly developed ophthalmic compounds. We are excited about the possibilities and look forward to launching this collaboration as quickly as possible.”
