InSite Vision Inc

InSite Vision Inc was incorporated in 1986 as a California Corporation and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. The Company is an ophthalmic product development company committed to advancing ophthalmic pharmaceutical products to address unmet eye care needs. The Company completed its initial public offering on October 18, 1993. The Company's current portfolio of ophthalmic pharmaceutical products is based on its proprietary DuraSite drug delivery technology. The Company's DuraSite sustained drug delivery technology is a proven, patented synthetic polymer-based formulation designed to extend the residence time of a drug relative to conventional topical therapies. It enables topical delivery of a solution, gel or suspension and could be customized for delivering a variety of potential drug candidates. The Company has focused its research, development and commercial support efforts on the following topical products formulated with its DuraSite drug delivery technology. AzaSite or azithromycin ophthalmic solution 1% is a DuraSite formulation of azithromycin developed as a broad spectrum ocular antibiotic and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2007 to treat bacterial conjunctivitis. Additional indications are being pursued by Inspire Pharmaceuticals for this product. AzaSite was commercially launched in the United States by Inspire Pharmaceuticals in August 2007. DexaSite is a DuraSite formulation of dexamethasone in development for the treatment of ocular inflammation. In November 2011, it initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial for this product candidate in blepharitis and completed patient enrollment in the clinical trial in September 2012. BromSite is a DuraSite formulation of bromfenac in development for the prevention of post-operative inflammation and eye pain. It initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for this product candidate in August 2010 and received positive top-line results from this study in the first quarter of 2011, which demonstrated the efficacy and safety of BromSite. DuraSite 2 is a next-generation enhanced drug delivery system, which is designed to provide a broad platform for developing superior ophthalmic therapeutics. DuraSite 2 is based on the original DuraSite technology, and incorporates a cationic polymer to achieve sustained and enhanced ocular delivery of drugs. ISV-101 is a DuraSite formulation with a low concentration of bromfenac for the treatment of dry eye disease. The Company is subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and other countries.
