Mitosol®'s Orphan Drug Designation is Expanded for All Glaucoma Surgery

ST. LOUIS, October 31, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Mobius Therapeutics™, LLC, a St. Louis-based ophthalmic company, has expanded its Orphan Drug Designation from the Food and Drug Administration for its platform product, Mitosol®, to now read “Treatment of refractory glaucoma as an adjunct to surgery.”

By expanding this orphan drug indication, Mobius Therapeutics™ may now assume the benefits of orphan drug designation for new and evolving MIGS procedures used in the treatment of glaucoma. 

“This expanded designation offers the benefits of Mitosol® in new and evolving procedures employing an ab interno approach, versus traditional ab externo approaches,” said Ed Timm, president of Mobius Therapeutics™.  “New MIGS procedures, typified by the XEN® Gel Stent, have relied upon Mitosol® as a companion drug during pivotal clinical trials. Going forward, we may now pursue these indications, assuring these patients and providers that the precision, safety and unprecedented convenience of Mitosol® will be available to all.”
