Collectively, the presentations expand the growing body of clinical and real-world evidence supporting Harrow's retina portfolio and reinforce Harrow’s commitment to generating quality evidence that strengthens physician confidence, improves patient experience, and supports long-term product adoption and innovation. “ASRS is one of the premier scientific meetings in retina, and we're excited to share data that continues to strengthen the foundation supporting our growing retina franchise,” said Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer of Harrow. “We believe durable commercial success is built on strong clinical evidence, generated before FDA-approval, and then robust supportive data sets subsequently produced. These studies further expand the evidence supporting IHEEZO while adding to the growing body of real-world experience for BYOOVIZ, reflecting our long-term commitment to retina specialists and the patients they treat.” One presentation highlighted interim findings from an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized study of 150 patients comparing IHEEZO versus subconjunctival lidocaine. While these preliminary data represent an early look at the data, investigators observed encouraging trends toward less post-procedure pain, a better post-injection patient experience, and fewer ocular symptoms through 24 hours following intravitreal injection among patients treated with IHEEZO. Harrow believes these early findings provide an encouraging signal supporting further investigation in a larger patient population. Importantly, Harrow continues to enroll QUELL, a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial of approximately 236 subjects that is being conducted under an active Investigational New Drug (IND) application. QUELL is designed to generate robust clinical evidence evaluating post-injection pain, patient experience, procedural performance, and safety in a substantially larger patient population, with topline data expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Another real-world study retrospectively evaluated whether IHEEZO's proprietary low-viscosity gel formulation interferes with antisepsis when used with chlorhexidine before intravitreal injection. Across nearly 20,000 injections, investigators observed no evidence of an increased endophthalmitis risk compared with a legacy tetracaine/povidone-iodine preparation. Although retrospective and not intended to demonstrate statistical superiority, the findings provide further confidence that physicians can realize the patient-experience benefits of IHEEZO's low-viscosity gel formulation without introducing additional procedural risk associated with antisepsis. “These studies help build the scientific foundation supporting IHEEZO,” said Amir Shojaei, Chief Scientific Officer of Harrow. “The early interim randomized data suggest the potential to improve the patient experience, while the large real-world analysis provides reassuring evidence regarding procedural safety. We look forward to completing enrollment in QUELL, which we believe will provide the most comprehensive evaluation of IHEEZO in retina to date.” Finally, Samsung Bioepis presented interim findings from a large-scale, real-world post-marketing surveillance study of BYOOVIZ. Full results from this study are being announced jointly with Samsung Bioepis today. “Between the continued expansion of the clinical evidence supporting IHEEZO, the recent launch of BYOOVIZ, and the ongoing growth of our retina franchise, we believe Harrow is increasingly well-positioned as a trusted long-term partner to retina specialists,” Baum concluded. “We appreciated the opportunity to engage with physicians throughout ASRS and look forward to sharing additional updates later this year.” IHEEZO® (chloroprocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel) 3%, for topical ophthalmic use INDICATIONS AND USAGE  IHEEZO is an ester anesthetic indicated for ocular surface anesthesia.  IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION  CONTRAINDICATIONS  <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">IHEEZO is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any component of </li></ul> this preparation  WARNINGS AND PRECATIONS  <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Not for Injection or Intraocular Administration. </li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Corneal Injury Due to Insensitivity. </li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Corneal Opacification </li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">For Administration by Healthcare Provider: IHEEZO is not intended for patient self-administration </li></ul> ADVERSE REACTIONS  <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Most common adverse reaction is mydriasis (approximately 25%)  </li></ul> Please see full <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=ZAskEDnSVCOa3mxdM0CpbBWdbTi6BHmHbO46P3I6OvgKakqgoFSUIKNsqv6aE4CITT8grxcWBizV4MCKo_6NtRRIKEQJdocTRdRsdwtf4cNA80KY8GqMHoc19Yt5qJ_jLSvEkaGLcZfkt5EP5j4_kw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Prescribing information">Prescribing information</a> BYOOVIZ® (ranibizumab-nuna) injection, for intravitreal use is a biosimilar to LUCENTIS (ranibizumab injection)  INDICATIONS AND USAGE  BYOOVIZ, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of patients with: <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)</li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)</li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization (mCNV) </li></ul>  IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION   CONTRAINDICATIONS  <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Ocular or periocular infections</li><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Hypersensitivity</li></ul>  WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS  <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:10pt;">Endophthalmitis and retinal detachments may occur following intravitreal injections.
