NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (Nasdaq: EYEN), a clinical stage ophthalmic company developing a pipeline of advanced therapeutics based on its proprietary microdose array print (MAP™) platform technology, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 and Recent Business Developments
- Announced the appointment of Eyenovia’s former Chief Operating Officer, Michael Rowe, as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, replacing Dr. Sean Ianchulev, who has transitioned to Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Rowe was also appointed as a director to Eyenovia’s Board of Directors.
- Global supply chain issues impacting the production of Mydcombi™ validation units have been resolved and the New Drug Application (“NDA”) resubmission is now expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.
- VISION-2 Phase 3 trial evaluating MicroLine as a potential, on-demand treatment for presbyopia progressing as planned, with topline data anticipated in the third quarter of 2022. If successful, the Company plans to start production of registration batches as a requirement towards filing a new drug/device combination application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
- Announced that the Company’s new manufacturing facility in Redwood City, CA is now operational, and also announced the appointment of Bren Kern as Senior Vice President of Manufacturing and Operations.
- Appointed Dr. Ellen Strahlman and Dr. Ram Palanki as directors to the Board of Directors. Together, they bring decades of medical technology, clinical development, product launch and commercialization experience, much of it specific to ophthalmology.
- Announced that the Company’s strategic partner, Arctic Vision, enrolled the first patient in its Phase 3 clinical trial of ARVN003 (MicroLine) for presbyopia in China.
- Ended the second quarter of 2022 with approximately
$29.4 million in total cash and cash equivalents, including$7.9 million of restricted cash.
Dr. Sean Ianchulev, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented, “We achieved significant progress during the second quarter and subsequent period across both our Mydcombi and MicroLine programs, and we are very fortunate to have concluded our CEO search with the appointment of Michael Rowe who we believe is the ideal candidate to sustain our current momentum. His appointment maintains continuity while bringing significant ophthalmic operations and commercialization expertise to the role ahead of significant regulatory and clinical milestones. These include the pending resubmission of our Mydcombi New Drug Application and near completion of our second Phase 3 presbyopia trial, each of which moves us a step further to transitioning to a commercial stage company.”
Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are nearing completion of the additional Optejet device validation testing requested by the FDA when Mydcombi was reclassified as a drug-device combination product. Global supply chain issues that have impacted most high technology manufacturers and delayed the production of our validation units have now been resolved. As a result, we now anticipate resubmitting our NDA to the FDA during the fourth quarter of 2022. If approved next year, Mydcombi for mydriasis would be the first commercial product to leverage our Optejet dispensing technology, a significant achievement for our Company. With our presbyopia program also progressing, and our Redwood City manufacturing operations up and running, this is indeed a transformational time for our Company. I am pleased with the progress made addressing these challenges during the second quarter and look forward to a productive back half of the year.”

About the VISION Trials
The VISION trials are Phase 3, double-masked, placebo-controlled, cross-over superiority trials that enroll participants with presbyopia. The primary endpoint is improvement in high-contrast binocular distance corrected near visual acuity in low light conditions. MicroLine is intended for the “on demand” improvement of near vision in people with presbyopia.
About MicroLine for Presbyopia
MicroLine (pilocarpine ophthalmic spray) is Eyenovia’s investigational pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia. Presbyopia, or farsightedness, is the non-preventable, age-related hardening of the lens, which causes a gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects and is estimated to affect nearly 113 million Americans. Pilocarpine ophthalmic solution is known to constrict the pupil and improve near-distance vision by creating an extended depth of focus through its small aperture effect. Eyenovia believes that its administration of pilocarpine using the Company’s high precision microdosing technology could provide a meaningful improvement in near vision while enhancing tolerability and usability. MicroLine has been licensed to Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited in Greater China and South Korea.
About MicroPine for Progressive Myopia
MicroPine (atropine ophthalmic spray) is Eyenovia’s investigational, potentially first-in-class topical treatment for the reduction of pediatric myopia progression, also known as nearsightedness, in children ages 3-12. It has been developed for comfort and ease-of-use in children, and its microdose administration is designed to potentially result in low systemic and ocular drug exposure. MicroPine has been licensed to Bausch+Lomb, Inc. in the United States and Canada, and Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited in Greater China and South Korea.
