&#8220;The acceptance of the Epioxa NDA represents another important step in being able to provide keratoconus patients and the ophthalmic community with the first FDA-approved, non-invasive corneal cross-linking drug therapy that does not require removal of the corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the front of the eye,&#8221; said Glaukos CEO Thomas Burns.
The NDA submission includes data from two Phase 3 pivotal Epioxa trials, which achieved the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoints and demonstrated favorable tolerability and safety profiles.
Glaukos&#8217; corneal cross-linking iLink therapies use proprietary, bio-activated drug formulations designed to strengthen corneal tissue and halt the progression of keratoconus.
Glaukos&#8217; first-generation iLink therapy, known as Photrexa, or&nbsp;Epi-off, is the first and only FDA-approved therapy that has been shown to slow or halt disease progression.
Epioxa utilizes a proprietary, novel drug formulation designed to penetrate the epithelial layer of the cornea, a stronger UV-A irradiation protocol, and supplemental oxygen to enhance cross-linking.
Price Action: GKOS stock is up 25% at $157.36&nbsp;during the premarket session on last check Monday.
