Once-daily CsA-MiDROPS™ are superior to other CsA drops dosed twice-daily
Ophthalmic distribution studies indicate significantly increased drug concentration with CsA-MiDROPS (Cyclosporine A microemulsion) compared with Restasis. CsA-MiDROPS is well tolerated with little toxicity in a 2-week tolerability study. In the DED model, both 0.05% and 0.1% CsA-MiDROPS conferred a significant effect and were more effective than Restasis for treating experimental DED when dosed twice per…
One CRO. Complete Dataset.
When a preclinical efficacy study wraps up at EyeCRO, ocular tissues move directly from our animal facility to our bioanalytical lab. No third-party handoffs. No waiting in an external lab’s queue. Sponsors receive a single integrated dataset covering both in-life endpoints and bioanalytical quantitation from the team that ran the entire study. LC-MS/MS Quantitation Our…

This forum allows for excellent networking, the exchange of ideas, and sharing of challenges; all with a united common…
eyecro co-authors paper in Molecular and Cellular Biology studying mechanisms leading to Diabetic Retinopathy
Serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4) is the sole specific transport protein for retinol in the blood, but it is also an adipokine with retinol-independent, pro-inflammatory activity associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Here we show that RBP4-Tg mice develop progressive retinal degeneration, characterized by photoreceptor ribbon synapse deficiency and subsequent bipolar…
NIH-Industry Collaboration Advances Gene-Agnostic Treatment for Retinal Disease
A new study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shown promising results for reserpine—a medication originally approved in 1955 for high blood pressure—as a potential treatment to prevent vision loss caused by inherited blinding diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. In preclinical studies, reserpine protected retinal neurons essential for vision, particularly in females. Unlike…
