NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEN), an ophthalmic technology company developing and commercializing advanced products leveraging its proprietary Optejet topical ophthalmic medication dispensing platform, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 and Recent Business Developments

• Advanced the Phase 3 CHAPERONE study of MicroPine for pediatric progressive myopia with plans to conduct an interim analysis this quarter. External sources have valued the myopia market at over $3.0 billion annually in the U.S. and China.
• Announced the U.S. launch and commercial availability of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05%, which is FDA approved for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.
• Announced collaboration agreements with Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and SGN Nanopharma to develop novel therapeutics for use with Eyenovia's Optejet® dispenser as potential treatments for dry eye disease, estimated to be a $5 billion global addressable market.
• Commenced the manufacture of registration batches of Mydcombi in its second generation Optejet device, a key step in the FDA approval process for its state-of-the-art Gen-2 Optejet dispensing platform.
• Reported training and shipping Mydcombi to 230 new offices from April through September 30^th,2024.
• Appointed Andrew Jones as Chief Financial Officer.
• Raised combined net proceeds of $10.7 million.
  
  

Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We achieved another significant commercial milestone during the third quarter with the U.S. launch of clobetasol, the first new ocular steroid approved in over 15 years. Clobetasol perfectly complements our mydriasis product, Mydcombi, and allows us to further leverage our sales force while adding significant value to eye doctors and surgeons. We also experienced accelerating sales momentum with Mydcombi, now having reached 230 offices as of September 30^th.

"We also took a meaningful step forward in the development of our Gen-2 Optejet device with the commencement of manufacture of registration batches, with Mydcombi as our lead product. We look forward to submitting for FDA approval of this advanced technology with Mydcombi in 2025, and a possible approval in 2026, if successful.  

"Regarding MicroPine, which we are developing for pediatric progressive myopia, we are preparing for an interim analysis of the Phase 3 CHAPERONE data this quarter that, if successful, we expect will meaningfully accelerate its remaining development path. We also executed several co-development agreements to evaluate novel therapeutics in our Optejet dispenser as potential treatments for dry eye disease. Together, these indications represent multi-billion-dollar addressable markets in the U.S. alone."  

"With two differentiated commercial products, another in late Phase 3 development, multiple opportunities in dry eye, and the advanced Gen-2 Optejet technology platform, I believe we are creating a foundation from which we can drive significant growth and value creation in the months and years to come," Mr. Rowe concluded.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Review

For the third quarter of 2024, net loss was approximately $7.9 million, or $0.11 per share, as compared to a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.18 per share, for the third quarter of 2023.

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was relatively consistent with $3.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2023.

For the third quarter of 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3.7 million, compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 27.3% reflecting the establishment of the Company's sales force in 2024.
