- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Alimera Sciences, Inc., based in Alpharetta, Georgia, is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. The Company is presently focused on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina because it believes these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and represent a significant market opportunity. Its product candidate Iluvien(R) is an intravitreal insert containing fluocinolone acetonide, a non-proprietary corticosteroid with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of ocular disease. Iluvien is in development for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). DME is a disease of the retina that affects individuals with diabetes and can lead to severe vision loss and blindness. " (7/10/2018)
- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We note that less than a third of chronic DME patients in England and Wales have an artificial lens. Therefore, if reimbursement of Iluvien is available to all DME patients in UK, Alimera’s revenue from UK could increase significantly. Management expects the Technology Assessment 301 part-appraisal to be completed in 2019. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $2.50 price target." (6/12/2018)
