All of these breakthroughs received an excellent reception.

Jérôme Martinez, Chairman of Novagali Pharma, concludes: “As is the case with Cationorm®, whose sales are in line with our plans, the clinical breakthroughs recorded by our portfolio’s main products are in line with expectations. In the short term, major milestones are expected, such as the further extension of Cationorm® distribution network and the results of the Phase II clinical trials for Catioprost® in the United States. Our unique status as a pure player in ophthalmology, a fast-growing market, is being reinforced every day, and we have total confidence in the pursuance of Novagali Pharma’s development.”
