`FOR RELEASE 4/8/2013, Monday
`Bausch + Lomb Receives FDA Approval for PROLENSA™ (bromfenac
`ophthalmic solution) 0.07%
`New Once-Daily NSAID Indicated for Treatment of Postoperative Inflammation
`and Reduction of Ocular Pain Following Cataract Surgery
`MADISON, NJ - Bausch + Lomb, the global eye health company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug
`Administration (FDA) has approved the company's New Drug Application (NDA) for PROLENSA™ (bromfenac ophthalmic
`solution) 0.07 percent prescription eye drop, an innovative once-daily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the
`treatment of postoperative inflammation and reduction of ocular pain in 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 pain by leveraging the unique potency of the
`bromfenac molecule in a formulation designed to facilitate ocular penetration. The advanced formulation allows for a lower
`concentration of bromfenac in a once daily dosing regimen. PROLENSA is a solution that does not require shaking to deliver
`a consistent dose in each drop.
`
`“The data show that once-daily dosing with PROLENSA provides powerful and rapid control of inflammation and pain
`following cataract surgery, confirming the potency of this NSAID and the benefits of the new formulation,” said Steven M.
`Silverstein, M.D., FACS, founder of Silverstein Eye Centers in Kansas City, MO. “PROLENSA reduces the amount of
`medication placed on the healing eye while maintaining a high degree of efficacy and ocular comfort."
`The efficacy of PROLENSA was evaluated in 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 for 14 days following surgery. The primary efficacy endpoint was
`complete clearing of ocular inflammation (assessed by the summed ocular inflammation score, SOIS, which includes cells
`and flare) by day 15. The secondary efficacy endpoint 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
`pain following cataract surgery. Twice as many patients as vehicle (46 percent versus 20 percent) demonstrated complete
`clearance of inflammation (SOIS of 0) at day 15. The difference in the average post-operative inflammation severity between
`the treatment and vehicle arms was statistically and clinically 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.
`“Bausch + 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 bringing this next evolution of the
`groundbreaking bromfenac franchise to our customers very soon.”
`PROLENSA Dosage and Administration
`Instill one drop into the affected eye once daily beginning one day prior to surgery, continued on the day of surgery, and
`through the first 14 days post surgery.
