Show Notes

TearSolutions' lead product, called Lacripep, delivers what no other approved or pipeline drug has been able to: rapid healing of the ocular surface and relief of dry eye symptoms with a best-in-class safety and comfort profile. This was all proven in their first-in-human clinical trial which has led to formal written FDA alignment on our clinical and regulatory path to an unrestricted general Dry Eye indication (which is the same path a dry eye drug called Xiidra took, which sold to Novartis for $5.3B). 

The company is raising capital to get Lacripep back into the clinic for the first of two Phase III trials.
