| • | | Reproxalap – Noninfectious Anterior Uveitis (NAU): NAU is a rare ocular disease caused by an inflammatory response that leads to surface irritation, pain, photophobia, and in some cases vision loss, and affects approximately 260,000 patients in the United States per year. An estimated 50% of patients suffer from repeat or chronic NAU episodes, increasing the risk of serious ocular toxicity as a result of prolonged exposure to corticosteroids, the current standard of care. The anti-inflammatory product profile of reproxalap has the potential to treat patients without the toxicities commonly associated with corticosteroids. The Phase 3 SOLACE clinical trial of reproxalap in NAU is currently ongoing, and results are expected to be announced in the second half of 2019. |
