Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Management Changes

Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of ophthalmic therapies for the treatment of patients with eye diseases and conditions, including open-angle glaucoma, dry eye, diabetic macular edema (DME) and wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). The Company's commercial products include Rhopressa and Rocklatan. Rhopressa is a once-daily eye drop designed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Rhopressa increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork (TM), which accounts for approximately 80% of fluid drainage from the healthy eye and is the diseased tissue responsible for elevated IOP in glaucoma. Rocklatan is a once-daily fixed-dose combination of Rhopressa and latanoprost, a drug for the treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
