Company to host conference call and webcast today, November 13^th, at 4:30 pm ET

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), a commercial-stage, topical ophthalmic company leveraging its Optejet® dispensing technology for both internally developed and acquired programs as well as out-licensing for additional indications, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Developments

• Acquired the U.S. commercial rights to APP13007 for post-surgical ocular pain and inflammation from Formosa Pharmaceuticals. If approved, APP13007 would complement Eyenovia’s commercially approved mydriasis product, Mydcombi, and allow for the generation of additional near-term revenue. A New Drug Application (NDA) for APP13007 is currently under review by the FDA, which has assigned a PDUFA action date of March 4, 2024.
• Announced the appointment of senior finance executive Mr. Michael Geltzeiler to Eyenovia’s Board as an independent director and Chair of the Audit Committee.
• Announced FDA approval of Coastline International as contract manufacturer for Mydcombi cartridge subassemblies, enabling a national launch in early 2024.
• Initiated training of ophthalmic technicians in the use of Mydcombi through sponsorship of a course at the International Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO) 51st Annual Continuing Education (ACE) program.
• Advanced its Gen-2 Optejet device and anticipates shipping to MicroPine partners Bausch and Lomb and Arctic Vision by year-end 2023.
• Continued to validate its manufacturing facilities in Redwood City, CA and Reno, NV, the former having a PDUFA date in February 2024 for use as a commercial facility.
• Presented data from a study of the preservative-free microbial integrity of the Optejet® at the American Academy of Optometry’s “Academy 2023 New Orleans” Annual Meeting in October. The study successfully demonstrated the Optejet’s ability to maintain product sterility even when exposed to a microbial load that exceeds typical environmental conditions.
  
  

Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the third quarter, we expanded our near-term commercial product portfolio with our acquisition of the commercial rights to APP13007 from Formosa Pharmaceuticals. This unique, twice-a-day steroid will compete against products that are typically used four times a day, with a desirable efficacy and safety profile. Together with Mydcombi, we expect the two products to increase the capability of our planned ten-person sales force to generate near-term revenue for our company which in turn will help fund the completion of our internal development programs. APP13007 has the additional benefit of potential use in the Optejet for the treatment of dry eye disease, and after recent positive discussions with the FDA, we are evaluating the timing and value of this potential program.

“We were also pleased to announce recently that Coastline International was approved by the FDA as a contract manufacturer for certain elements of Mydcombi in the Optejet. With Coastline, we expect to initiate manufacturing imminently in preparation for a broader launch in early 2024.

"We have made the strategic decision to prioritize our current Gen-2 Optejet manufacturing capabilities to ensure that our partners, Bausch and Lomb and Arctic Vision, have this advanced product for their pediatric myopia studies by the end of this year. This will shift the manufacture of registration batches of our pre-NDA presbyopia candidate, Apersure, to the first quarter of 2024. We see no downside to this change as the nascent presbyopia market continues to evolve and mature, as evidenced by the disappointing performance of the only available eye drop product for this indication. As new entrants come into the presbyopia market and revitalize it, we look forward to introducing Apersure in the highly differentiated and desirable Optejet dispenser.

“We are also excited to announce today the appointment of Mr. Michael Geltzeiler to our Board as an independent director and Chair of our Audit Committee. Mike has a strong track record of successful value creation for shareholders, including over 17 years of CFO experience at companies including ADT Corporation, Euronext and Readers Digest. We are fortunate to have Mike with his extensive finance background join us at this time, and I know that he is as excited as I am about the potential that Eyenovia represents.

“With three distinct sources of potential growth – internally developed programs, complementary product acquisitions that can be further developed in the Optejet, and strategic partnerships that license the Optejet for additional indications – I believe we have firmly established ourselves as a leader in topical ophthalmic medication delivery, and I am excited about the many opportunities that are in front of us,” Mr. Rowe concluded.
