today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to treat posterior uveitis with pSivida's injectable sustained-release micro-insert. pSivida is now permitted to move directly to two Phase III trials to treat patients with posterior uveitis.
