Redwood Pharma AB: Video interview with CEO Martin Vidaeus, August 27, 2019

CEO Martin Vidaeus presented the status of Redwood Pharma"s Phase II trial for its RP101 program - a new treatment for post-menopausal women suffering from chronic, moderate to severe Dry Eye Disease. 

About RP101
RP101 is the company’s lead program for the development of a novel treatment of chronic dry eye disease in postmenopausal women. The active substance is an endogenous small molecule already proven safe and effective in two Phase II clinical trials in the US. The active substance for the first time has been formulated in IntelliGel to control its release, reduce dosing and increase compliance. Redwood Pharma is conducting a Phase II trial of RP101 in Europe.

Dry eye disease is a large market with serious unmet needs – estimated to grow to USD 2.7 billion in 2022. RP101 will be the first therapy targeted towards a unique biological mechanism and the target patient population of postmenopausal women. With prior development data, this program will be faster to market and has lower capital needs and development risks than programs based on New Chemical Entities.
