Patients are needlessly losing vision from glaucoma because they have difficulty taking daily eye drops. This technology potentially replaces eye drops.
Mati is developing a sustained ocular drug delivery platform with the first target a 90 day release of glaucoma drug latanoprost. This is a combination drug/device using a small device that goes into the tear duct of the eye and is designed to stay there, delivering drug, over a 90 day period. The technology can be viewed as an alternative for eye drops and has completed Phase II testing in 570 US patients.
