Eyenovia Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

New York, NY – August 12, 2019 – Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose therapeutics utilizing its patented piezo-print delivery technology, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Second Quarter 2019 and Recent Business Highlights

 

·Enrolled first patient in Phase III CHAPERONE study for progressive myopia in children;
·Presented positive results from the MicroStat Phase III MIST-1 and MIST-2 registration studies for pharmacologic mydriasis at the joint American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA) annual meeting; and
·Successfully completed an underwritten public offering of its common stock in July 2019 with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.0 million.

 

“We are very pleased with the progress we made last quarter as we steadily advance our late stage clinical pipeline and continue to validate our platform technology to change the treatment paradigm of front and back-of-the-eye diseases. We recently initiated our Phase III CHAPERONE study for progressive myopia in children. Progressive myopia represents an estimated $5 billion U.S. market opportunity for Eyenovia and has the potential to be the first topical therapeutic to treat myopia progression. In addition, we expect the MILAGRO trial for MicroProst for the lowering of intraocular pressure in glaucoma to begin enrollment by the end of this year. MILAGRO will be our third product candidate to enter Phase III development over the last nine months,” commented Dr. Sean Ianchulev, Eyenovia’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer. “With our recent successful capital raise, we believe Eyenovia is well positioned to continue advancing both the MicroPine and MicroProst trials and we intend to move our MicroStat program towards an NDA submission in 2020. We look forward to executing on our milestones through the remainder of the year and would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support.”

 

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Review

 

For the second quarter of 2019, net loss was approximately $5.3 million, or $(0.44) per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.3 million, or $(0.33) per share for the second quarter of 2018.

 

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to approximately $2.4 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately 48%, due to the continuing advancement of the Company’s clinical drug pipeline.

 

For the second quarter of 2019, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.8 million compared to approximately $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of approximately 99%.

 

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were approximately $5.4 million, compared to total operating expenses of approximately $3.3 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately 62%.

 

 

 

 

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $9.2 million. This amount does not include the approximately $13.0 million in aggregate net proceeds from Eyenovia’s underwritten public offering which closed in July 2019.

About Eyenovia

Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN) is a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose therapeutics utilizing its patented piezo-print delivery technology. Eyenovia’s pipeline is currently focused on the late-stage development of microdosed medications for mydriasis, myopia progression, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. For more Information please visit www.eyenovia.com.

 

About MicroStat for Mydriasis

MicroStat is Eyenovia's first-in-class fixed-combination micro-formulation product (phenylephrine 2.5% -tropicamide 1%) candidate for pharmacologic mydriasis (eye dilation) which is targeted to address the growing needs of the estimated 80 million office-based comprehensive and diabetic eye exams performed every year in the United States, as well as the estimated 4 million pharmacologic mydriasis applications for cataract surgery. We are developing MicroStat to improve the efficacy and tolerability of pharmacologic mydriasis.

 

Upcoming Milestone: NDA Filing 2020

 

About MicroPine for Progressive Myopia

MicroPine is Eyenovia's first-in-class topical treatment for progressive myopia, a back-of-the-eye disease. Progressive myopia is estimated to affect close to 5 million people in the United States who suffer from uncontrolled axial elongation of the sclera leading to increasing levels of myopia and in some cases major pathologic changes such as retinal atrophy, macular staphylomas, retinal detachment and visual impairment. Early dose finding studies by collaborative academic groups have demonstrated high therapeutic potential with low dose atropine which can reduce myopia progression by 60 – 70% with a sustained effect through three years. A recent therapeutic evidence assessment and review by the American Academy of Ophthalmology indicates Level 1 (highest) evidence of efficacy for the role of low dose atropine for progressive myopia (Ophthalmology 2017;124:1857-1866; Ophthalmology 2016; 123(2) 391:399).

 

Feasibility Dose-finding Atropine Studies: ATOM 1; ATOM 2; LAMP (Independent Collaborative Group Trials)
Upcoming Milestone: Complete Enrollment of the Phase III CHAPERONE Study End of 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

About MicroProst for Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension

MicroProst is Eyenovia's proprietary latanoprost formulation product candidate, which is being developed as a first-line treatment for the reduction of IOP in patients with Chronic Angle Closure Glaucoma (CACG), as well as Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and Ocular Hypertension. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically indicated for CACG, which accounts for an estimated 10% and 50% of all glaucoma diagnoses in the United States and China, respectively. We believe there are approximately 500,000 patients with CACG in the United States and approximately 3.0 million with POAG for whom chronic, often life-long medication therapy is required.


Feasibility Dose-Finding Studies: MicroProst Phase II EYN PG21

Upcoming Milestone: MicroProst Phase III Trial Start End of 2019

 

About MicroTears OTC for Hyperemia, Pruritis and Dry Eye

MicroTears is a micro-droplet ocular hyperemia (red eye), pruritis (itch) and ocular lubrication product candidate for the approximately $850 million annual OTC artificial tear market in the United States.

 

Upcoming Milestone: Commercial Launch to Coincide with Potential MicroStat Commercialization

 

About Optejet™ and MicroRx Ocular Therapeutics

Eyenovia's Optejet microdose formulation and delivery platform for ocular therapeutics uses high-precision piezo-print technology to deliver 6-8 μL of drug, consistent with the capacity of the tear film of the eye. We believe the volume of ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet is less than 75% of that delivered using conventional eyedroppers, thus reducing overdosing and exposure to drug and preservatives. Eyenovia's patented microfluidic ejection technology is designed for fast and gentle ocular surface delivery, where solution is dispensed to the ocular surface in approximately 80 milliseconds, beating the ocular blink reflex. Successful use of the Optejet has been demonstrated with minimal training in 85% of topical medication administrations compared to 40 – 50% with conventional eyedroppers. Additionally, its smart electronics and mobile e-health technology are designed to track and enhance patient compliance.
