On Friday, Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EYEN#NASDAQ">EYEN</a>) stock is trading lower after an update from the Phase 3 CHAPERONE study evaluating its proprietary drug-device combination of low-dose atropine in the company&#8217;s Optejet dispensing platform <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42004665/eyenovia-provides-update-on-phase-3-chaperone-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">pediatric progressive myopia</a>.
Progressive myopia is a type of nearsightedness that worsens over time due to the eyeball growing too long.
The company said that an independent Data Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the CHAPERONE data and found that the trial is not meeting its primary endpoint of a less than 0.5 diopter progression in visual acuity over three years.
The DRC reviewed the safety and efficacy data from 252 evaluable patients. The DRC found that the rate of myopia progression was not significantly different between the two active treatment arms (0.01% and 0.1% atropine ophthalmic metered spray) and placebo.
In the safety analysis, all dosages and placebo appeared well-tolerated, with a mild and infrequent adverse event profile. Full study data has not yet been released to Eyenovia.
&#8220;We plan to terminate the study, review the data more thoroughly, and evaluate the next steps,&#8221; stated Michael Rowe, Eyenovia&#8217;s CEO.
In light of the results of this review, the company is considering strategic options, which may include a business combination, reverse merger, asset sales or a combination of those alternatives.
William Blair has downgraded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EYEN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eyenovia to Market Perform</a>.
The analyst says,&#8221; While the approval of Mydcombi provided important validation of Eyenovia's Optejet device, and the subsequent approval of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic solution 0.05% added another promising product to the company's commercial portfolio, we believe the negative results from the CHAPERONE study and limited capital to invest in the launch of clobetasol or further pipeline programs limits near-term upside.&#8221;
Price Action: EYEN stock is down 68.2% at $0.1083 at last check Friday.

Avicanna Reduces Net Loss And Improves Gross Profit, Focusing On International Markets

Money is one of the top reasons couples fight – and when one partner hasn't worked for over a decade, tensions only rise. This was the case for a woman who recently called into financial advisor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41883704/start-with-a-beater-car-says-dave-ramsey-when-youre-debt-free-and-paying-cash-for-your-dream-ride-youll-appreciate-the-sacrifice">Dave Ramsey's show</a>, seeking advice on what to do about her husband, who's been unemployed for 13 years. Despite his Ph.D. in pharmaceutical chemistry, he hasn't held a job since his layoff in 2011, leaving her as the sole breadwinner.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cd-valet-growth">CD Popularity Soars: Over 50 Million Americans Embrace Safe Savings with 5–10% Annual Growth</a></li>
</ul>
As she described how they'd moved across the country, sought counseling and even enlisted resume help, Ramsey listened closely before giving her some straight talk: "This has nothing to do with the mechanics of finding a job … He doesn't want to work."
The woman explained that her husband's layoff coincided with shifts in the pharmaceutical industry and the economic crash, which made finding a comparable job difficult. But, as she's rebuilt her career, she's increasingly felt that his job search has been less than active. Ramsey laid it out: "Behavior is a language. What's he been telling you for a decade? ‘I don't work.'"
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Co-host Dr. John Delony added that people in similar situations often take <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41852620/theres-a-great-place-to-go-when-youre-broke-to-work-says-dave-ramsey-about-a-piece-of-advice-he-got">whatever work they can find</a> to support their families. Ramsey pointed out, "I know too many people with Ph.D.s who got laid off but went to work at the grocery store or Walmart in the interim."
The caller admitted she'd encouraged him to find any job just to return to the workforce. Still, the years kept passing. Ramsey's co-host sympathized, but his message was tough: "This is about getting up off your butt." He continued, stressing that the woman's husband must feel the consequences of his inaction. "Somebody's going to have to love him enough to knock him out of the ditch," Ramsey advised, "because he ain't climbing out."
See Also: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a>
The situation became even trickier when she admitted she'd consulted a lawyer, only to find she might have to pay alimony if she left him. For this caller, Ramsey's advice boiled down to one central theme … love sometimes means <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40838359/dave-ramsey-says-youre-wasting-5-000-a-year-if-you-spend-13-70-a-day-on-things-you-dont-need">helping someone face their reality</a>.
With the unemployment rate for Ph.D. holders aged 25 and over at just 1%, a 13-year gap in work is practically unheard of. According to Time, men without full-time jobs are 33% more likely to get divorced than those who are employed. So it's no wonder this caller is fed up with her husband's lack of ambition – her frustration is more than understandable.
Ramsey's advice cuts to the core. Without intervention, this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">situation likely won't change</a> and the toll it takes on finances and marriage could grow harder to ignore.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
