Omeros Corporation (OMER) announced that its new drug application (NDA) for OMS302, an ophthalmology product, has been accepted for filing by the FDA and its marketing authorisation application (MAA) for the same has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
According to the company, the NDA application submitted in July is complete to permit a substantive review.

In addition, the EMA validation of the MAA for OMS302 confirms that the submission package is complete and is ready for formal review by Europe’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP).
The company is now looking for approval of OMS302 for use during intraocular lens replacement (ILR) surgery for the maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis, prevention of intraoperative miosis, and reduction of postoperative ocular pain.
The NDA would undergo FDA’s standard review, while the MAA has been selected for EMA’s centralised procedure in which a recommendation for approval by CHMP would cover approval for marketing of OMS302 across all EU member states and other countries in the European economic area.
