SpyGlass Pharma to Complete Phase 3 Trials for BIM-IOL System by 2027
"We are pleased to report that enrollment in our parallel Phase 3 registrational trials of the BIM-IOL System, which if approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, has the potential to serve the approximately one million annual cataract procedures in glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients, remains on track for completion in 2027. In parallel, SpyGlass remains diligently focused on initiating our first-in-human study of our next-generation BIM-DRS with the potential to provide lasting intraocular pressure reduction to every pseudophakic glaucoma patient, which would grow the addressable patient population substantially, in the second half of this year," stated Patrick Mooney, chief executive officer of SpyGlass Pharma. "Collectively, our BIM-IOL System and BIM-DRS hold the potential to provide long-term, drop-free glaucoma treatment and sustained visual protection."

At 12 months, the BIM-IOL System achieved: Evaluable patients achieved a 34% and 42% reduction in mean IOP from baseline in the 78-mcg and 39-mcg dose groups, respectively, compared to a 35% reduction in the control group at 8 a.m. Results were similar at the 10 a.m. timepoint. 98% of evaluable patients in the 78-mcg dose group and 96% of evaluable patients in the 39-mcg dose group were free from all topical IOP-lowering medications. Evaluable patients demonstrated vision improvement, 100% reaching 20/32 or better best corrected distance visual acuity and mean BCDVA of 86 letters. Adverse event rates were similar across the 78-mcg, 39-mcg, and control groups. No serious ocular AEs were observed
