`ophthalmic solution) 0.07%
`
`New Once--Daily NSA/0 Indicated for Treatment of Postoperative Inflammation
`
`and Reduction of Ocular Pain Following Cataract Surgery
`
`MADISON, NJ- Bausch+ Lomb, the global eye heatth company. today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug
`Administration (FDA) has approved the company's New Drug Application ( NOA) for PROLENSA Till (bromfenac ophthalmic
`solution) 0 07 percent prescription eye drop, an innovative once-daily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) lor the
`treatment of postoperative inflammation and reduction of ocular pail il patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
`PROLENSA will be available in 1 6ml and 3ml bottle sizes.
`
`PROLENSA provides powerful and rapid resolution of inflammation and pail by leveraging the unique potency of the
`bromfenac molecule in a formulation designed to facilitate ocular penetration. The advanced formulation al ows for a lower
`concentration of bromfenac in a once dal y dosing regimen. PROLENSA is a solution that does not require shaking to deliver
`a consistent dose in each drop.
`
`•The data show that once-daity dosilg with PROLENSA provides powerful and rapid control of inflammation and pain
`following cataract surgery. confirming the potency of this NSA 0 and the benefrts of the new formulation, • said Steven M.
`Silversteil. M 0 ., FACS, founder of Sitverstein Eye Centers il Kansas City, MO. •PROLENSA reduces the amount of
`medication placed on the healilg eye while mailtaining a high degree of efficacy and ocular comfort. •
`
`The efficacy of PROLENSA was evaluated il two randomized. double-masked, vehicle-controlled studies of patients
`undergoing cataract surgery. Each randomized patient received PROLENSA or vehicle starting with one drop into the
`surgical eye on the day prior to and the day of surgery, and lor 14 days following surgery. The primary efficacy endpoint was
`complete clearing of ocular inflammation (assessed by the summed ocular inflammation score, 5015 , which includes cells
`and flare) by day 15. The secondary efficacy endpoilt was the number of subjects that were pain free on day one after
`surgery.
`
`Results from the pivotal studies demonstrated PROLENSA to be superior to vehicle in the treatment of both inflammation and
`pail following cataract surgery. Twice as many patients as vehicle (46 percent versus 20 percent) demonstrated complete
`clearance of inflammation (SOlS of 0) at day 15. The difference in the average post~rative inflammation severity between
`the treab'nent and vehicle arms was statistically and cinical y significant by day eight Nearly four of five patients treated with
`PROLENSA were pain free at day one (78.8 percent versus 49.5 percent for vehicle; p<0.0001). Patients treated with
`PROLENSA reported a lower incidence of foreign body sensation and photophobia and had less redness than those treated
`with vehicle.
`
`•sausch + lomb is committed to delivering innovative therapeutic options to eye care professionals and the patients they
`serve, and the advanced formulation used for PROLENSA embodies that commitment: said Dan Wechsler, executive vice
`president and president, Bausch + lomb Global Pharmaceuticals. "We look forward to brilging this next evolution of the
`groundbreaking bromfenac franchise to our customers very soon:
