&#8220;The acceptance of the Epioxa NDA represents another important step in being able to provide keratoconus patients and the ophthalmic community with the first FDA-approved, non-invasive corneal cross-linking drug therapy that does not require removal of the corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the front of the eye,&#8221; said Glaukos CEO Thomas Burns.
The NDA submission includes data from two Phase 3 pivotal Epioxa trials, which achieved the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoints and demonstrated favorable tolerability and safety profiles.
Glaukos&#8217; corneal cross-linking iLink therapies use proprietary, bio-activated drug formulations designed to strengthen corneal tissue and halt the progression of keratoconus.
Glaukos&#8217; first-generation iLink therapy, known as Photrexa, or&nbsp;Epi-off, is the first and only FDA-approved therapy that has been shown to slow or halt disease progression.
Epioxa utilizes a proprietary, novel drug formulation designed to penetrate the epithelial layer of the cornea, a stronger UV-A irradiation protocol, and supplemental oxygen to enhance cross-linking.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Glaukos's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Glaukos's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.38%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
