Novel Drug Delivery to be discussed at SMi’s Ophthalmic Drugs Conference 2019
Industry leaders confirmed to present on the Focus Day for the upcoming Ophthalmic Drugs conference, in London.
- (1888PressRelease) October 24, 2019 - With less than 4 weeks until SMi Group’s 3rd annual Ophthalmic Drugs conference taking place on the 18th- 20th November 2019 in London, the event aims to provide great peer-to-peer networking with Global Product Managers, Heads of Drug Development, Senior Directors of Ophthalmology, Heads of Research and Development and many more.
Alongside the conference, a Pre-conference Focus Day will proceed, in which the event theme will be on ‘Novel Drug Delivery though a Complex Barrier’.
The focus day will emphasise on alternative delivery approaches to replace intravitreal drug delivery and novel drug development. Also, industry leaders will explore innovations in R&D of novel delivery methods; mechanisms including implants for IOP control; an antagonist prodrug for sustained reduction of intraocular pressure and alternatives to intravitreal delivery.
Highlights for 2020:
Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Intracapsular Drug Delivery Platform
- iVeena has developed an intracapsular drug delivery platform that enables bi-directional drug delivery to anterior and posterior eye segments
