Eyenovia on Friday said it is exploring its strategic options following the failure of a late-stage study of its proposed treatment for nearsightedness in children.
The ophthalmic technology company said it is ending the Phase 3 study of a drug-device combination of low-dose atropine in its Optejet dispensing platform as a potential treatment for pediatric progressive myopia after an independent review found that the trial wasn't meeting its primary three-year efficacy endpoint.
Eyenovia said it will now reduce expenses and consider a variety of options to maximize value for its shareholders, including a business combination, reverse merger or asset sales.
Trading in shares of the New York company, which closed Thursday at 34 cents, was halted premarket on Friday.
