About Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Aerie is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of first-in-class therapies for the treatment of patients with glaucoma and other diseases of the eye. Aerie recently reported the successful results of its second Phase 3 registration trial in the United States named Rocket 2, where the primary efficacy endpoint was to demonstrate non-inferiority of IOP lowering for RhopressaTM compared to timolol. Rocket 3, a 12-month safety-only study, is currently in progress, as is a fourth Phase 3 trial for RhopressaTM, named Rocket 4. Aerie expects to file a new drug application for RhopressaTM with the FDA in the third quarter of 2016. Aerie also completed in 2014 a Phase 2b clinical trial in which RoclatanTM met the primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating the statistical superiority of RoclatanTM to each of its components, and commenced in September 2015 the first Phase 3 registration trial for RoclatanTM, named Mercury 1. Aerie also recently entered into research collaborations with GrayBug, Inc. and Ramot at Tel Aviv University as it further builds its pipeline for future growth.
