CEO Martin Vidaeus explains about development through toxicology and safety studies.
About RP101
RP101 is the company’s main development program of a new treatment of chronic dry eye disease in postmenopausal women. The active substance is a molecule that has already shown safety and efficacy in two clinical phase II studies conducted in the United States. The active substance has now been formulated in IntelliGel® to control release, reduce the number of doses and increase comfort. Redwood Pharma will conduct a Phase II clinical trial of RP101 in Europe. Chronic dry eye disease represents a large market with high medical needs. The market is expected to grow to $2.7 billion in 2022. RP101 will be the first treatment to restore a biological mechanism to treat a patient group of women after menopause. As there are already data from both development and clinics, the project is estimated to be able to come to the market more quickly, as well as lower capital requirements and development risks than programs based on new chemical substances.
