Glaukos Achieves Pipeline Milestone with Enrollment Completion in Phase 3 Confirmatory Trial for Epioxa (Epi-on) - Seite 2

Results from this second Phase 3 confirmatory pivotal trial together with the already-completed first Phase 3 pivotal trial are expected to support Glaukos’ targeted NDA submission for Epioxa by the end of 2024. As a reminder, the U.S. FDA has confirmed Glaukos’ first Phase 3 pivotal trial for Epioxa, which met the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint, would be adequate to support the submission and review of an eventual NDA, in conjunction with this second Phase 3 trial.

As Glaukos continues to advance its clinical plans for Epioxa, it remains well-positioned to serve keratoconus patients with its first-generation corneal cross-linking therapy, Photrexa, or Epi-off, which remains the only FDA-approved treatment shown to slow and halt the progression of keratoconus.
