Once injected, it releases a therapeutic at a controlled rate over an extended period, from weeks to months.
Chardan writes that Durasert technology is well-validated, with four products approved to date.
Durasert provides for zero-order release kinetics, meaning that vorolanib is released at a nearly constant rate over the implant's life.
Price Action: EYPT shares are up 2.37% at $7.98 during the market session on the last check Thursday.
