FDA grants priority review to Alimera drug Iluvien

FDA grants priority review to potential Alimera treatment for diabetic macular edema

ATLANTA (AP) -- Alimera Sciences Inc. said Monday regulators granted priority review to its potential diabetic macular edema treatment, Iluvien.

The Food and Drug Administration decision sets a six-month review timetable for the drug's application instead of the normal 10 months.

That could result in a potential approval in December because the drug's application was submitted at the end of June.

Diabetic macular edema can lead to distorted or loss of vision.

Alimera, which specializes in prescription ophthalmic drugs, is conducting two late-stage trials on Iluvien that involve 956 patients to evaluate its safety and effectiveness.

Shares of Alimera rose 40 cents, or nearly 5 percent, to $8.50 in after-hours trading Monday.
