Eight Poster Presentations Include Results from 12-Month Safety Extension Trial of Investigational Treatment NOV03 (Perfluorohexyloctane), as well as Data on XIPERE® (Triamcinolone Acetonide Injectable Suspension) for Suprachoroidal Use

Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO) (“Bausch + Lomb”), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced the presentation of eight scientific poster presentations during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual meeting, which will take place in New Orleans from April 23-27, 2023.

The presentations include results from the 12-month KALAHARI safety extension study of the investigational treatment NOV03 (perfluorohexyloctane), as well as the results of two studies on surgical intraocular lens pipeline programs. Another presentation will focus on the early adoption of XIPERE® (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) for suprachoroidal use by providers, and two others will feature a data analysis from Bausch + Lomb’s Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular micRoorganisms (ARMOR) surveillance study.

“At this year’s ARVO meeting, scientists will present a variety of clinical research on our Bausch + Lomb product portfolio, pipeline programs and the latest results from our unique ARMOR study, which for more than 10 years has tracked antibiotic resistance patterns specific to pathogens that affect the eye,” said Yehia Hashad, M.D., executive vice president, Research & Development and chief medical officer, Bausch + Lomb. “Bausch + Lomb will continue to remain focused on conducting research that will help us develop new products and medicines to address the evolving needs of customers and patients.”

Important Safety Information about XIPERE®

INDICATION

XIPERE® (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) for suprachoroidal use is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Patients should be monitored following injection for elevated intraocular pressure. See Dosage and Administration instructions in full Prescribing Information.

  • XIPERE is contraindicated in patients with active or suspected ocular or periocular infections including most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva, including active epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, varicella, mycobacterial infections, and fungal diseases.



  • XIPERE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to triamcinolone acetonide or any other components of this product.



  • Use of corticosteroids may produce cataracts, increased intraocular pressure, and glaucoma. Use of corticosteroids may enhance the establishment of secondary ocular infections due to bacteria, fungi, or viruses, and should be used cautiously in patients with a history of ocular herpes simplex.



  • Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, and hyperglycemia can occur following administration of a corticosteroid. Monitor patients for these conditions with chronic use.



  • In controlled studies, the most common ocular adverse reactions were increased ocular pressure, non-acute (14%), eye pain, non-acute (12%), cataract (7%), increased intraocular pressure, acute (6%), vitreous detachment (5%), injection site pain (4%), conjunctival hemorrhage (4%), visual acuity reduced (4%), dry eye (3%), eye pain, acute (3%), photophobia (3%), and vitreous floaters (3%), and in 2% of patients: uveitis, conjunctival hyperaemia, punctate keratitis, conjunctival oedema, meibomianitis, anterior capsule contraction, chalazion, eye irritation, eye pruritus, eyelid ptosis, photopsia, and vision blurred.

The most common non-ocular adverse event was headache (5%).

Corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy or nursing only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or nursing infant.
