5-Year Effectiveness and Safety Data for iTrack to be Spotlighted at ESCRS 2021

Fremont, California, 7 October 2021 - Nova Eye Medical Limited, a medical technology company committed to advanced ophthalmic treatment technologies and devices, is pleased to report that 60-month results of a retrospective case series featuring the Company's proprietary iTrack™ canaloplasty microcatheter will be presented at the 39th Congress of the ESCRS, October 8-11, 2021.

In the retrospective case series, German glaucoma surgeons Prof. Norbert Koerber and Dr. Simon Ondrejka evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of canaloplasty performed with the iTrack™ canaloplasty microcatheter in reducing mean intraocular pressure (IOP) and mean number of glaucoma medications in patients with uncontrolled or controlled open- angle glaucoma (OAG). Most eyes, 23 out of 27, underwent canaloplasty in combination with cataract surgery.

Overall, iTrack™ was found to be an effective option for maintaining a sustained reduction in IOP in OAG patients up to 5 years, reducing from 19.8 ± 5.2 (n=27) at baseline to 15.0 ±

2.6 (n=26), 15.6 ± 3.3 (n=25), 14.7 ± 3.8 (n=21), 14.6 ± 3.0 (n=18) and 14.4 ± 3.3 (n=14) at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months respectively. iTrack™ was also effective in reducing glaucoma medication dependence, with the mean number of medications falling from 1.93 at baseline to 1.21 at 60 months, with 57% of eyes on 1 medication or less at 60 months.

No severe complications occurred either intraoperatively or postoperatively. Importantly, no secondary surgical interventions were required to control IOP in any of the eyes.

Prof. Koerber concluded that, based on the results of this 60-month study, iTrack™ achieves a significant reduction in IOP as compared to baseline, along with a decrease in medication burden. The results also showed that performing canaloplasty with the iTrack™ is a safe procedure associated with a low risk of complications. Importantly, the inclusion of canaloplasty in glaucoma treatment paradigms could reduce the need for medications in patients with controlled glaucoma who are intolerant to, or non-compliant with, medications.
