"We are very pleased. If this recommendation becomes final, ILUVIEN will be available in the U.K. to pseudophakic as well as private pay and privately insured patients," said Dr. Paul Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of pSivida. "The pseudophakic DME population represents a large subgroup as patients with DME have a far higher incidence of cataract than the overall population. In the Phase III FAME™ trials of ILUVIEN, over 50% of control patients were pseudophakic at the end of the trial."
