Iantrek, Inc., a venture-backed, medical technology company pioneering next-generation bio- and micro-interventional approaches for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases, today announced that clinical results of its uveoscleral outflow technology in 243 eyes with open-angle glaucoma were published in the peer-review Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Iantrek Raises $23M Series B Financing to Advance Next Generation Ophthalmic Micro-Interventional Technologies

Iantrek, Inc., a medical device company founded by ophthalmic innovator Dr. Sean Ianchulev, announced the closing of a $23M Series B financing. The oversubscribed financing was led by institutional investors Visionary Ventures and Sectoral Asset Management, Inc. The capital will be used to initiate clinical introduction and post-marketing studies of Iantrek’s Micro-Interventional Glaucoma Surgical (MIGS) devices in the United States. Iantrek is the only MIGS company with FDA-registered technologies designed to address both natural aqueous outflow pathways, trabecular and suprachoroidal. Earlier this year, the company unveiled its breakthrough CycloPen™ micro-interventional system targeting the suprachoroidal outflow pathway – an established therapeutic target where MIGS micro-stent interventions have demonstrated significant and sustained outflow enhancement with the majority of patients achieving IOP reduction of 20% or more. The first cases in the US using Iantrek’s suprachoroidal technology were performed earlier this month. The company will present long-term clinical outcomes at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago later this year.
