Aerie's Rhopressa Approved Early For Glaucoma, 2018 Launch Planned
Executive Summary
The first of Aerie's two glaucoma candidates, Rhopressa, was approved in the US and a submission for combination product Roclatan is expected next year. Rhopressa may have muted uptake in 2018, however, since it won't launch until the second quarter and half of its market is covered by Medicare Part D.
