Nancy Lurker, the company’s CEO and President said there was a recovery in patient office visits and restart of operations at most healthcare facilities in Q3. As a result, the company has witnessed increased customer demand for DEXYCU® and YUTIQ® to almost pre-pandemic levels. Lurker said that the company is entering the remaining months of the year with ImprimisRx and EyePoint combined sales representatives mobilized to boost DEXYCU to the established account bases. She also confirmed that the YUTIQ team has continued to call on retinal and uveitis physician officers as per the changing COVID-19 restrictions.

EyePoint completes EYP-1901 study In wet AMD
Recently the company completed its good laboratory practice (GLP) EYP-1901 toxicology study. EYP-1901is a potential six-month intravitreal anti-VEGF sustained delivery treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Lurker said that the company is on track to submit an IND application before the end of 2020 for EYP-1901. Once the FDA accepts the IND, the company expects to commence Phase 1 EYP-1901 trial in wet AMD. Wet AMD is a sight-threatening eye disease that needs a longer-lasting treatment alternative to slow its progression. The company had $30.5 million in cash by the end of October, and Lurker confirmed that the company is diligently managing its cash burn rate.
