Eyenovia Completes Patient Enrollment in MicroStat MIST-1 Study and Enrolls First Patient in MIST-2 Study

Eyenovia (NASDAQ:EYEN) today announced that it has completed patient enrollment in its Phase III MIST-1 study and enrolled the first patient in its second Phase III study, the MIST-2 trial, for the Company’s Phase III MicroStat program for pharmacologic mydriasis, or dilation of the pupil for an eye exam.

As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Sean Ianchulev, Eyenovia’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer commented, “We are pleased to have swiftly completed enrollment in the Phase III MIST-1 study, our first pivotal trial of MicroStat for pharmacologic mydriasis, in line with our recruitment expectations. In rapid succession we have also enrolled the first patient in MIST-2, the second pivotal trial in the MicroStat program. Pharmacologic mydriasis is an important part of an estimated 80 million office-based comprehensive and diabetic eye exams performed each year in the United States and remains essential for the standard dilated retinal fundoscopic examination. We are confident that our micro-dosed fixed-combination of phenylephrine and tropicamide holds the potential to initiate a pivotal shift in how drugs are delivered to the eye and we look forward to announcing topline results from both trials in the first half of 2019.”

The MIST studies will investigate the safety and efficacy of the Company’s first-in-class fixed-combination phenylephrine 2.5% – tropicamide 1% ophthalmic solution, administered as a micro-dose using the Optejet™ dispenser.
