Unilife Signs Agreement with Global Pharmaceutical Company Seeking to Use Ocu-J e c t
to Deliver a Drug into the Eye
Ocu-ject provides a tenfold improvement in the precision of delivering doses as small as 10 microliters
YORK, Pa., Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Unilife Corporation ("Unilife") (NASDAQ: UNIS, ASX: UNS) today announced the
signing of an agreement with a global pharmaceutical company seeking to use the Unilife Ocu-ject ocular drug delivery
system to deliver a target injectable therapy into the eye.
The identity of the global pharmaceutical company, one of the market leaders in ophthalmic therapies, as well as other terms of
the agreement are not disclosed for commercial purposes and due to confidentiality requirements. Unilife will begin to generate
revenue under the program in January 2014.
Unilife's Ocu-ject platform offers a breakthrough technology for the accurate and precise delivery of small dose volumes
measured in microliters (uL) into the eye. Most ocular therapies for the treatment of conditions such as age-related macular
degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema are administered via intravitreal injection using a standard
1mL tuberculin syringe and needle. The potential for gross dosing inaccuracy is inherent with such conventional devices, which
can compromise the ability of the drug to fully comply with its regulatory labeling requirements. Ocu-ject provides a tenfold
improvement in the precision of delivering doses as small as 10 uL, which helps pharmaceutical customers ensure compliance
with dose requirements on the drug label.
Mr. Alan Shortall, Chairman and CEO of Unilife said: "In tune with our commitment to address unmet needs within the
pharmaceutical industry, we have created a new, significant drug delivery device category. Ocu-ject represents a game-
changing delivery technology for ocular therapies, which is a large, fast-growing segment of the pharmaceutical market. We are
pleased to have signed our first agreement for the Ocu-ject device platform, which is being pursued by a number of
pharmaceutical companies seeking to maximize the clinical and commercial potential of approved and pipeline drugs that are
targeted to treat a number of eye disorders. We look forward to serving these customers to address unmet market needs for
the accurate, precise delivery of drugs to the eye."
About Ocu-j e c t
The Ocu-ject device platform is designed to deliver drugs with small dose volume of between 10 microliters and 500 microliters
for delivery into the eye with a level of accuracy and precision not possible with conventional syringes. It is designed for use
with injectable therapies designed to treat diseases including Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy,
Diabetic Macular Edema and Uveitis. By minimizing over-dosing, the device platform has the potential to reduce the risk of
increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and potentially minimize damage to the optic nerve. By further minimizing the risk of
under-dosing, the platform has the potential to help avoid delivery of a drug outside its therapeutic window where its clinical
efficacy may be compromised. The Ocu-ject platform also employs the highest grade drug contact materials unlike syringes
currently used to inject into the eye.
To address specific customer, drug, and patient requirements, products from the Ocu-ject platform can be customized in a
variety of configurations including prefilled, with either an attachable or integrated retractable needle, or for use with a drug
vial. They are designed for intuitive use by clinicians, employ ergonomic features and have the potential to minimize patient
pain and maximize safety.
