What's Happening?
PolyActiva has enrolled the first U.S. patient in its Phase 2b clinical trial for PA5108, a biodegradable ocular micro implant designed to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. The implant, utilizing PolyActiva's PREZIA technology, offers sustained pressure control for up to six months. The trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of repeat dosing, with 75 patients participating across 12 clinical sites.
Why It's Important?
The development of PA5108 represents a significant advancement in glaucoma treatment, addressing the challenge of patient adherence to daily eye drops. By providing a long-acting, repeat-dose implant, PolyActiva aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce treatment burdens. Success in the trial could lead to a new standard of care for glaucoma, impacting both patients and healthcare providers.
