Pixium completes 10th implantation of Iris II study

Pixium announced this week that it has completed the 10th and final implantation as part of its ongoing European Iris-II study. This trial began in January 2016 and will assess the Iris II epi-retinal implant in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and certain other retinal dystrophies. While the study will assess the device for at least 18 months, interim data could be available in mid-2017 and would support reimbursement applications in European countries such as the UK, France and Germany.
