Company Announcements

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2026-- Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an NDA labeling supplement allowing for re-administration of iDose^® TR using a repeat treatment protocol. The FDA approval is in response to Glaukos’ 2025 NDA labeling supplement application, and reflects accumulated clinical evidence supporting the safety and tolerability of repeat use for iDose TR.

“We are pleased to announce this important labeling enhancement for iDose TR, which should help expand access for patients who may benefit from repeat treatment and provide physicians with greater flexibility in managing their glaucoma patients over time,” said Thomas Burns, Glaukos chairman and chief executive officer. “This approval further validates iDose TR’s established and proven safety profile and reinforces its leading position in addressing the strong and growing demand within the ophthalmic community for safe, effective, and sustained procedural pharmaceutical alternatives to traditional topical medications.”

Under the updated labeling, physicians may now re-administer iDose TR more than once in patients who maintain a healthy cornea, as defined by corneal endothelial cell density parameters. In clinical studies, iDose TR has demonstrated a favorable long-term corneal safety profile, with no clinically significant corneal endothelial cell loss observed through three years across both the Phase 3 and Phase 2b studies. Additionally, results from the iDose TR exchange trial demonstrated a second administration of iDose TR and removal of the original iDose TR implant was safe and well-tolerated, with the second iDose TR demonstrating a favorable safety profile over a 12-month evaluation period.

iDose TR is a first-of-its-kind, long-duration, intracameral procedural pharmaceutical therapy designed to continuously deliver 24/7 therapeutic levels of a proprietary formulation of travoprost inside the eye for extended periods of time. iDose TR is intended to improve the standard of care by addressing the ubiquitous patient non-compliance issues and chronic side effects associated with topical glaucoma medications.

About iDose^® TR (U.S.)

iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) is a long duration prostaglandin analog approved for a single administration and indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Made from medical-grade titanium, iDose TR is implanted through the trabecular meshwork and back wall of Schlemm's canal, directly into scleral tissue. Once implanted, 75 mcg of a novel, preservative-free, proprietary formulation of travoprost continuously elutes into the anterior chamber via membrane-controlled diffusion, allowing for 24/7 release of medication.

Indication for Use: iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

Dosage and Administration: For ophthalmic intracameral administration. The intracameral administration should be carried out under standard aseptic conditions.

Contraindications: iDose TR is contraindicated in patients with active or suspected ocular or periocular infections, patients with corneal endothelial cell dystrophy (e.g., Fuch’s Dystrophy, corneal guttatae), patients with prior corneal transplantation, or endothelial cell transplants (e.g., Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty [DSAEK]), patients with hypersensitivity to travoprost or to any other components of the product.

Warnings and Precautions: iDose TR should be used with caution in patients with narrow angles or other angle abnormalities. Monitor patients routinely to confirm the location of the iDose TR at the site of administration. Increased pigmentation of the iris can occur. Iris pigmentation is likely to be permanent.

Adverse Reactions: In controlled studies, the most common ocular adverse reactions reported in 2% to 6% of patients were increases in intraocular pressure, iritis, dry eye, visual field defects, eye pain, ocular hyperaemia, and reduced visual acuity.
