XIPERETM (triamcinolone acetonide suprachoroidal injectable suspension), formerly known as CLS-TA, is a proprietary suspension of the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide formulated for administration to the back of the eye for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis. Clearside's patented technology is designed to deliver drug to the suprachoroidal space located between the choroid and the outer protective layer of the eye, known as the sclera.
His methods included a physician survey of injection experience, and a post-hoc analysis of two Clearside clinical trials for non-infectious uveitis. Injection survey results revealed little difficulty in following the steps in the procedure and generally no challenges compared to other types of injections.
