As marketing authorisation holder, Inceptua will assume full regulatory responsibility for Jetrea in the EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein “We are pleased that the European Commission has granted approval for Inceptua to market Jetrea,” says Clive Whitcher, Executive Vice President and Head of Inceptua Pharma. “For Inceptua Group Jetrea represents a unique opportunity to build on our commitment to specialty care and enhances our ability to ultimately help patients suffering from symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion or vitreomacular traction and support physicians specializing in eye diseases.” Jetrea was launched in early 2013, and over 35,000*(1)* patients have been treated with the product to-date with real world clinical data*(2-4)* confirming efficacy and safety in a well identified group of patients suffering from symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion or vitreomacular traction. VMT is caused by traction resulting from a persistent attachment of the vitreous humour (jelly-like material in the back of the eye) to the macula. The macula provides central vision that is needed for everyday tasks such as driving, reading and recognising faces. VMT can cause symptoms such as distorted and blurring of visual acuity or decreased vision. When the disease progresses, the traction may result in damage on the retina and risk of permanent visual impairment.
