Company Description

EyeGate Pharma is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company that is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics and drug delivery systems for treating diseases of the eye. Its products include EGP-437 and EyeGate II Delivery System. EGP-437 for the treatment of non-infectious anterior uveitis, a debilitating form of intraocular inflammation of the anterior portion of the uvea, such as the iris or ciliary body. The EyeGate II Delivery System features a compact, elegant, and easy-to-use device that delivers drugs non-invasively and quickly into the ocular tissues through the use of iontophoresis, which can accelerate the onset of action, dramatically reduce treatment frequency versus eye drops and sustain therapeutic effect.
