US-headquartered pSivida has been making progress with its strategy of developing its own sustained-delivery treatments for back-of-the-eye diseases, while also licensing its underlying drug delivery technology to other companies.
Alimera Sciences, which is licensing a pSivida ocular insert for diabetic macular edema (DME) treatment Iluvien, has secured approval in the UK, Austria, Portugal, France, Spain and Germany.
Iluvien launched in the UK in May, and the US FDA will decide by next month whether to approve the treatment in the US.
In April, pSivida also revealed that another pharmaceutical company had started evaluating using its ophthalmic drug delivery technologies.
pSivida (ASX:PVA) shares were trading 3.54% higher at $4.10 as of around 12.30 pm on Monday.
