ATLANTA and BOSTON, March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alimera Sciences and pSivida Ltd (Nasdaq: PSDV; ASX: PSD; Xetra: PSI) today announced that they have amended their license and collaboration agreement relating to Medidur(TM) FA, the companies' Phase III investigative treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME), and other Medidur products.
