EYEG AB Corporate Bond ETF

EyeGate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEG) a clinical-stage, specialty pharmaceutical company with two proprietary platform technologies for treating diseases and disorders of the eye, today announced top-line results from its Phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of EGP-437 delivered through the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System (EGDS) in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.

Although EGP-437 showed clinical efficacy, defined as a reduction in anterior chamber cell score throughout the study, it did not demonstrate non-inferiority to the prednisolone acetate ophthalmic solution control group. This was measured as the proportion of subjects with an anterior cell count of zero (a sign of diminished inflammation) at Day 14. EyeGate will continue to review the data and will be assessing its strategic options for EGP-437 going forward.

Stephen From, President and Chief Executive Officer of EyeGate, said, “Although we are disappointed with the results of the Uveitis study we continue to review the data and assess the path forward for EGP-437. This also represents an opportunity to shift our focus toward the key clinical trials that support our innovative Ocular Bandage Gel (OBG) product, which has the potential to benefit patients with corneal surface damage.  We are actively enrolling for the PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) and PE (punctate epitheliopathy) studies, both of which are on track for announcement of top-line data in the fourth quarter of 2018. We continue to consider all strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.”

About EyeGate

EyeGate is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products using its two proprietary platform technologies for treating diseases and disorders of the eye.

EyeGate’s OBG platform is based on a cross-linked thiolated carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid (CMHA-S), a modified form of the natural polymer hyaluronic acid, which is a gel that possesses unique physical and chemical properties such as hydrating and healing when applied to the ocular surface. The ability of CMHA-S to adhere longer to the ocular surface, resist degradation and protect the ocular surface makes it well-suited for treating various ocular surface injuries including surgical trauma.

EGP-437, EyeGate’s other product in clinical trials, incorporates a reformulated topically active corticosteroid, Dexamethasone Phosphate that is delivered into the ocular tissues through EyeGate’s proprietary innovative drug delivery system, the EyeGate II Delivery System.  For more information, please visit www.EyeGatePharma.com.
