The patent will be in effect at least until May 2031. This patent covers the technology used in Eye-D®, the company’s controlled-release latanoprost insert currently in a Phase 1/2a clinical study in the U.S. for the treatment of glaucoma.
BioLight, through its wholly owned subsidiary ViSci Ltd., holds an exclusive option from Novaer LLC to a worldwide exclusive license for any use of the insert’s proprietary technology. Use of such insert is an effective therapeutic solution to the well-known poor compliance rates with chronic eye-drop administration in ophthalmology.
