Allergan wins approval for ocular inflammatory drug

Delivered via intravitreal injection, the ophthalmic indications for Trivaris include sympathetic ophthalmia, temporal arteritis, uveitis, and ocular inflammatory conditions unresponsive to topical corticosteroids. These are inflammatory conditions that can result in vision loss.

Scott Whitcup, executive vice president of R&D at Allergan, said: “Trivaris marks the first approval for Allergan resulting from our strategic focus on the development of therapies for back-of-the-eye diseases, and we remain committed to bringing forth innovative new treatments for patients suffering from retinal diseases.”
