We are a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics, starting with eye care. Our lead product, XDEMVY (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25%, formerly known as TP-03, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in July 2023 for the treatment ofblepharitis caused by the infestation of Demodex mites, which is referred to as Demodex blepharitis. Blepharitis ("Blephar" is a reference to eyelid and “itis” is a reference to inflammation) is an ophthalmic lid margin disease characterized by inflammation of the eyelid margin, redness and ocular irritation, including a specific type of eyelash dandruff called collarettes, which are pathognomonic for Demodex blepharitis. Poorly controlled and progressive blepharitis can lead to corneal damage over time and, in extreme cases, blindness. There may be as many as approximately 25 million people in the U.S. who suffer from Demodex blepharitis. XDEMVY is the first and only therapeutic approved by the FDA and we believe is the definitive standard of care for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis.
