Re: ALIM possible competitors. <g>

While checking the suggestions offered by some of the Ophthalmologists that answered my question about ALIM's Iluvien, I find that Ophthotech is still private, albeit it seems to have potential.<g>

The other company they mentioned,Thrombogenics, is based in Belgium and trades under symbol THRs in Euronext.

Its lead product, microplasmin,is in a PIII for the treatment of vitreomacular adhesion.It is also administered by intaocular injection into the vitreus,
Focal vitreomacular adhesion is a condition in which the vitreous gel has an abnormally strong adhesion to the retina.
These adhesions can cause vessel and retinal distortion and vitreomacular adhesion is thought to play a key role in numerous retinal conditions such as macular hole formation, and also some forms of macular edema.
Vitreomacular adhesion is associated with a much poorer prognosis in patients that suffer from diabetic retinopathy and AMD.
