Frequently asked questions about fluocinolone acetonide

What is fluocinolone acetonide used for?

Fluocinolone acetonide is an investigational small molecule being studied for diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion. It is administered as an intravitreal implant. The drug is in clinical development and is not approved for these indications.

What does fluocinolone acetonide target?

Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the eye. It is delivered via an intravitreal implant to treat conditions like diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion. The drug's anti-inflammatory action is the basis for its potential therapeutic effect.

Who makes fluocinolone acetonide?

Fluocinolone acetonide is being developed by Bausch + Lomb Corporation, which trades under the ticker BLCO. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy for ophthalmic conditions.

What phase is fluocinolone acetonide in?

Fluocinolone acetonide is in Phase 2 clinical development for diabetic macular edema. A separate early Phase 1 trial has been completed for retinal vein occlusion. The drug remains investigational and has not received FDA approval.

What clinical trials is fluocinolone acetonide in?

Fluocinolone acetonide has been studied in two completed trials. NCT00502541 was a Phase 2 study in 196 patients with diabetic macular edema. NCT00636493 was an early Phase 1 trial in 30 patients with retinal vein occlusion in the United States.

Is fluocinolone acetonide the same as other corticosteroid implants?

Fluocinolone acetonide is a specific corticosteroid used in intravitreal implants. It is distinct from other corticosteroid implants, such as those containing dexamethasone or triamcinolone. The drug's unique formulation and delivery method differentiate it from other treatments in this class.
