HYALURONIC ACID-BASED FORMULATIONS FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION AND GLAUCOMA
The present invention concerns ophthalmic compositions comprising a combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a vehicle, and one or more prostaglandin analogues, such as latanoprost, as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), wherein the HA acts as a transporting vehicle (transporter) of the prostaglandin analogue into the eye. The invention also includes methods for the use of such ophthalmic compositions for reduction of intraocular pressure to treat, prevent, and/or delay the onset or recurrence of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. The ophthalmic compositions of the invention have improved stability, improved API solubility, and improved efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure.

INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE REDUCTION WITH INTRACAMERAL BIMATOPROST IMPLANTS
The present invention provides a method of treating an ocular condition in an eye of a patient, comprising the step of placing a biodegradable intraocular implant in an eye of the patient, the implant comprising a prostamide and a biodegradable polymer matrix that releases drug at a rate effective to sustain release of an amount of the prostamide from the implant to provide an amount of the prostamide effective to prevent or reduce a symptom of an ocular condition of the eye, wherein said ocular condition is elevated IOP and said implant is placed in an intracameral location to dilate the outflow channels of the eye emanating from Schlemm's Canal.

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A FATTY ACID OIL MIXTURE AND A SURFACTANT, AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF
A preconcentrate comprising a fatty acid oil mixture that contains EPA and DHA, preferably in the form of ethyl ester or triglyceride, and at least one surfactant. The preconcentrates are capable of forming a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system, a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system or a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS, SMEDDS or SEDDS) in an aqueous solution. The application is also directed to a food supplement preconcentrate.
