About Omeros Corporation
Omeros is a biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering,
developing and commercializing both small-molecule and protein
therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting
inflammation, coagulopathies and disorders of the central nervous
system. Part of its proprietary PharmacoSurgery® platform,
the company’s first drug product, OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and
ketorolac injection) 1%/0.3%, was broadly launched in the U.S. in April
2015 for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens (IOL)
replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis
(pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative ocular pain. In the
European Union, the European Commission has approved OMIDRIA for use in
cataract surgery and lens replacement procedures to maintain mydriasis
(pupil dilation), prevent miosis (pupil constriction), and to reduce
postoperative eye pain. Omeros has clinical-stage development programs
focused on: complement-related thrombotic microangiopathies;
complement-mediated glomerulopathies; Huntington’s disease and cognitive
impairment; addictive and compulsive disorders; and preventing problems
associated with urologic surgical procedures. In addition, Omeros has a
proprietary G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) platform, which is making
available an unprecedented number of new GPCR drug targets and
corresponding compounds to the pharmaceutical industry for drug
development, and a platform used to generate antibodies.
