October 2023: EpiSmartTM, Epion's minimally invasive keratoconus treatment, has entered Phase 3 Apricity studies, the firm reported. This is a major step forward in the company's efforts to revolutionize the care for keratoconus. EpiSmart is a drug-device combination being studied for the treatment of keratoconus using epithelium-on cross-linking. Recent research suggests that keratoconus, a bilateral progressive corneal condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss, is more common in Africa and the Middle East than in the United States, where an estimated 3 million people suffer from it. Building on the positive results seen in Phase 2 clinical trials, the Apricity studies will assess the safety and effectiveness of EpiSmart through randomization, masking, and placebo control.

July 2023: Epion Therapeutics, Inc. is the proud new name for CXL Ophthalmics, Inc., a pioneer in the treatment of corneal diseases. The new name better reflects the company's goal to provide a therapy for keratoconus that is both the safest and least intrusive in the globe. Epion's Phase 3 Trials of the EpiSmartTM System will not begin unless this plan and strategy are in place. The ability to maintain functional eyesight may be preserved with prompt diagnosis and treatment. Epion Therapeutics is at the forefront of early intervention, which aims to treat patients immediately upon diagnosis rather than waiting for the disease to worsen. Through rigorous scientific research, Epion is reinventing the standard of treatment for keratoconus. Epion is developing a technique that will not harm the corneal epithelium in any way (chemically or physically). Recovery time, patient pain, and infection risk may all be reduced using Epion's novel methodology compared to both conventional epi-off and cutting-edge epi-on cross-linking techniques
