Keratoconus is an eye disorder characterized by progressive thinning and changes in the shape of the cornea.
The pipeline of KC possess only one key player, which is iVeena Delivery Systems. The dynamics of KC market is anticipated to change in the coming years owing to the improvement in the research and development activities so that market will comprise of efficient treatment options. The launch of emerging therapy is expected during the forecast period of 2020-2030.
IVMED-80 is the first twice-daily, eye-drop, non-surgical, non-UV light treatment for medical crosslinking of the cornea being developed by iVeena Delivery Systems. The drug, with its copper-based formulation, is reportedly the first eye drop designed to treat KC without the need for adjunctive laser treatment or surgical intervention. IVMED-80’s mechanism of action centers on enhancing the activity of lysyl oxidase (LOX) – the enzyme responsible for corneal collagen crosslinking, and also known to be associated with KC and copper, which is a co-factor of LOX, is the active ingredient of the drug. The FDA granted orphan drug designation for IVMED-80 for the treatment of KC. In February 2019, the company announced the commencement of a 36 patient phase I/IIa pilot clinical study for the treatment of mild and moderate KC (IVMED-80) and presented an abstract of the trial in the 2020 ARVO Annual Meeting. Final results of the trial are expected at the end of August 2020. Currently, this therapy is in phase I/II a clinical developmental trial for mild and moderate form of KC.
