In an exclusive interview with PropThink.com, Thrombogenics THRTBGNF CEO Patrik De Haes discusses the company's pending FDA and EMA approvals of ocriplasmin, a treatment for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion. Current procedures in the 500,000 patient market require a week-long recovery period in which the patient remains immobilized face-down. Ocriplasmin, says De Haes, is an outpatient treatment that requires one injection and no recovery time. Not only is it faster, but De Haes says the injection may cost as little as $2000, a fraction of the current $10,000 standard. He expects a late summer approval and commercialization in the U.S. and Europe - with a helping hand from partner Alcon, a division of Novartis NVS - in Q1 of 2013.

De Haes also discusses results from studies of Thrombogenics' pipeline drug TB-402, a post-surgery anticoagulant that has shown increased efficacy and similar safety to Xarelto by Bayer BAYRY, and Lovenox by Sanofi SNY.
