EyeGate Pharma Confirms Path Forward with FDA To Develop Combination Product

July 3, 2023

WALTHAM, MA, August 12, 2020 (ACCESSWIRE) — EyeGate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEG) (“EyeGate” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage company focused on developing products for treating disorders of the eye, announced today that it has received positive feedback following its pre-IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and has been provided a path forward for the development of MoxiGel, a combination product for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.

The new product will combine EyeGate’s Ocular Bandage Gel (“OBG”) with an antibiotic that is currently approved for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. EyeGate plans to complete its ongoing pre-clinical work and file an IND for the combination product in the first half of 2021.

About EyeGate

EyeGate is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for treating diseases and disorders of the eye.

EyeGate’s lead product, Ocular Bandage Gel (“OBG”), is based on a modified form of the natural polymer hyaluronic acid. The objective of OBG is to protect the ocular surface in order for the body to re-epithelialize the cornea and improve ocular surface integrity. The product is applied as a clear topical gel, to the damaged ocular surface and possesses unique properties that help hydrate and protect the ocular surface to allow for wound healing. EyeGate is in clinical evaluation for two different patient populations: (1) patients undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (“PRK”) surgery to demonstrate corneal wound repair after refractive surgery; and (2) patients with punctate epitheliopathies (“PE”) as a result of dry eye to promote reduction of PEs.
