Product to Treat Pain After Cataract Surgery Meets Study Goals

ISTA Pharmaceuticals' product to treat pain and inflammation following cataract surgery met primary goals in a Phase 3 study, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The prescription eye care product manufacturer said the product, Prolensa, is a low concentration of its bromfenac compound in a modified ophthalmic solution that enhances eye tissue penetration.

The company currently markets four products, including treatments for post-cataract surgery, glaucoma and allergies. The company plans to submit the new drug application for Prolensa to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first quarter of next year.
