RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 3, 2017 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today released an interim analysis of the second cohort of its ENV515 (travoprost XR) phase 2 trial in patients with glaucoma showing a clinically meaningful reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) for the entire 11-month evaluation period following a single administration. ENV515 also demonstrated an IOP lowering effect comparable to prestudy topical prostaglandin analogs (XALATAN® and LUMIGAN®) and in-study topical timolol maleate 0.5% ophthalmic solution (daily eye drops). Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable vision loss and blindness due largely in part to poor patient compliance with once-daily eye drops.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 17, 2016 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today released an interim analysis of its ENV515 (travoprost XR) phase 2 trial in glaucoma patients showing clinically meaningful reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) for the entire nine-month evaluation period following a single administration. ENV515 also demonstrated an IOP lowering effect comparable to prestudy topical prostaglandin analogs (XALATAN® and LUMIGAN®) and in-study topical timolol maleate 0.5% ophthalmic solution (daily eye drops). Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable vision loss and blindness due largely in part to poor patient compliance with once-daily eye drops.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 3, 2016 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today reported positive results from an interim three-month analysis of an ongoing 12-month safety and efficacy evaluation of the low dosage form of ENV515 XR (travoprost). ENV515, the Company's lead product candidate, is an extended-release formulation of travoprost that could offer sustained reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) for more than six months after a single dose.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – March 23, 2016 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today announced a $16.5 million investment from existing investors to support the accelerated development of the Company's pipeline of innovative extended-release ocular therapies for the three leading causes of preventable vision loss and blindness.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – January 12, 2015 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today announced it has dosed its first patient in the second cohort of the phase 2 clinical program evaluating the Company's lead product candidate, ENV515. ENV515 is an extended-release formulation of travoprost that could offer sustained reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) for more than six months after a single dose.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – OCTOBER 6, 2015 – Envisia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel extended-release therapies in ophthalmology, today reported results from its first clinical trial of the Company’s lead product candidate, ENV515 (travoprost XR). In this phase 2a trial, ENV515 achieved its primary efficacy endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) with results comparable to topical once-daily TRAVATAN Z® (travoprost ophthalmic solution).

Research Triangle Park, NC - May 1, 2015 – Envisia Therapeutics today announced that eight posters have been selected for presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s (ARVO) Annual Meeting being held May 3 – 7, 2015 in Denver, Colorado. ARVO is the largest gathering of eye and vision researchers in the world, attracting over 11,000 attendees from more than 75 countries. The theme of the ARVO 2015 Annual Meeting is Powerful Connections: Vision Research and Online Networking.
