| Description |
For many optic nerve disorders, there are limited therapeutic options to preserve vision. Under successive DOD Awards, a sustained choroid/retinal Episcleral Delivery System (EDS) has been developed to deliver drugs for weeks to years. The IND enabling work to date includes Episcleral Brimonidine for acute neuroprotection, EC-4565 (stabilizes mitochondria/catalytic anti-oxidant/oxygen free radical scavenger) for sustained neuroprotection and dexamethasone to mitigate inflammation. The EDS can deliver any small molecule that is currently used as an eye drop and most intravitreal injections and intravenous infusions. |
