WATERTOWN, Mass., May 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYPT), a pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing therapeutics to improve the lives of patients with serious eye disorders, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and highlighted recent corporate developments.
“We continued to make significant progress in the first quarter of 2022 and in recent months, marked by the presentation of positive eight-month safety and efficacy data from our lead pipeline asset, EYP-1901, for wet AMD, a debt refinancing resulting in significant interest savings, an enhanced license agreement with Betta Pharmaceuticals’ affiliate, Equinox Sciences, and the expansion of our leadership team with several key hires. As we look toward the year ahead, we are well-capitalized to continue advancing our exciting pipeline, including two expected Phase 2 clinical trial initiations of EYP-1901 in wet AMD in Q3 and in NPDR later in the second half of 2022,” said Nancy Lurker, Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. “We continue to believe EYP-1901 has the potential to change the current treatment paradigm in wet AMD as a maintenance therapy for the majority of patients, and we look forward to exploring the potential of EYP-1901 in a second indication, NPDR, later this year.”
Ms. Lurker continued, “On the commercial front, we had a strong first quarter with $9 million in net product revenue, an increase of 32% from the first quarter of last year along with continued strong customer demand for both YUTIQ® and DEXYCU®.”
