Novaliq Announces Presentation of New Scientific Data on CyclASol® 0.1% (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Solution) at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Annual Meeting

HEIDELBERG, Germany & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#cyclasol–Novaliq, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on first- and best-in-class ocular therapeutics based on the unique EyeSol® water-free technology, today announced the presentation of new data on the investigational new drug treatment, CyclASol® 0.1% (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution), during the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) annual meeting, which will take place in San Diego from May 5-8, 2023.

CyclASol® is the first water-free topical anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating ophthalmic solution, containing 0.1% cyclosporine. The water-insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient cyclosporine is solubilized in the novel excipient perfluorobutylpentane. CyclASol® is preservative-free and does not contain any oils or surfactants, which can be irritating and disturbing for the tear film. CyclASol® is currently under regulatory review for the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 8, 2023.

The two paper presentations include results from the 12-month ESSENCE-2 open label extension study and the pooled analysis of ESSENCE-1 and ESSENCE-2, the two pivotal studies, looking into subgroups with and without cataract.

“The long-term data confirm the excellent safety and tolerability profile of CyclASol®,” said David Wirta, MD, investigator and presenter for the study. “Notably, all studied dry eye symptom scores showed a constant reduction reaching a minimum after 1 year of treatment combined with high patient satisfaction rates. If approved this treatment will address important patient needs”.

“We are excited to present new results of our CyclASol® program,” said Dr. Christian Roesky, CEO Novaliq. “Dry eye is a very common ocular surface disease and has also an influence on patient satisfaction after LASIK or cataract surgery. The rapid and clinically meaningful improvements on the ocular surface in patients with dry eye disease and concomitant cataract make CyclASol a promising new option to maximize postsurgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. We hope that we can bring this innovation to patients soon.”
