Company Overview

Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a commercial-stage ophthalmic pharmaceutical company focused on developing and marketing treatments for eye diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The company’s portfolio is centered on therapies designed to address conditions affecting the ocular surface and eyelids.

Tarsus’ lead product is XDEMVY (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25%, an eye drop approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023 for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis, an inflammatory eyelid condition associated with an infestation of Demodex mites. XDEMVY is marketed in the United States and was the first FDA-approved treatment specifically indicated for Demodex blepharitis.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Irvine, California, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals has focused its development and commercialization efforts on ophthalmic diseases. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Bobak Azam, M.D., and continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its ophthalmology portfolio beyond its initial commercial product.
