Building Partnerships
The InSite Vision business strategy is based, in part, on developing strategic alliances and mutually beneficial collaborations with partners who complement our areas of strength, specifically:
- Our long-standing relationships with academic research institutions
- A unique technology portfolio and a proven drug-delivery platform
- In-depth experience and expertise in formulation development and human clinical trials
- An efficient and agile operational infrastructure that can move rapidly from development to clinical testing
- Demonstrated experience and leadership in ophthalmic product development
These alliances and collaborations take a variety of forms:
Product commercialization: InSite Vision collaborates with corporate partners to maximize commercial opportunities. For example, Inspire Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ISPH) has the initial responsibility to commercialize AzaSite® in the U.S. and Canada. Additional commercial partnerships will address AzaSite market opportunities in other parts of the world and open the way to worldwide commercialization of other InSite Vision products as they become available.
Product development: InSite Vision collaborates with corporate sponsors to develop new products based on DuraSite® as well as our other proprietary technology platforms.
Out-licensing: We share our intellectual property, including the DuraSite technology platform, with collaborators who share our vision of creating best-in-class therapeutic products of lasting value.
In-licensing: InSite Vision licenses product candidates and technologies from academic institutions as well as other companies when those products and technologies will contribute to the development of our product portfolio.
Through these partnerships, we can accelerate opportunities and further our goal of maximizing the therapeutic and commercial value of our products and those of our partners.
