Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Formosa Pharma," 6838.TW) announced the successful first shipment to the United States of its new ophthalmic drug, Clobetasol Propionate Ophthalmic Suspension, 0.05% (APP13007), manufactured by Bora Pharmaceuticals Ophthalmic (hereinafter referred to as "Bora," 6472.TW). Formosa Pharma's U.S. partner, Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEN), has initiated the pre-launch activities for APP13007 and is expected to begin commercialization in late September.
APP13007, developed through Formosa Pharma's proprietary APNT® nanotechnology platform, is the first drug approved by the U.S. FDA for ophthalmic use utilizing the super-potent corticosteroid, clobetasol propionate. Almost 7 million ophthalmic surgeries are performed annually in the U.S., and the ophthalmic steroid and steroid-combination drug market is valued at USD $1.3 billion. According to a recent survey conducted by Eyenovia of 100 U.S. ophthalmic surgeons, efficacy and cost were identified as the most important factors when choosing a treatment for postoperative inflammation and pain. APP13007 offers a more convenient dosing regimen with its proven efficacy, requiring only twice-daily administration compared to other treatments that require up to four doses per day.
