ISTA Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Advisory Committee to Review Bepreve(TM) for the Treatment of Ocular Itching Associated with Allergic Conjunctivitis
Date:6/1/2009

IRVINE, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ISTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISTA), today announced it has received notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee will review ISTA's New Drug Application (NDA) for Bepreve(TM) (bepotastine ophthalmic solution) on June 26, 2009.

On November 13, 2008, ISTA announced it had filed its NDA with the FDA for Bepreve as an eye drop treatment for ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. The NDA filing includes data from ISTA's Phase III clinical studies with Bepreve. The Phase III studies demonstrated highly statistically significant reductions in the primary endpoints of ocular itching. As bepotastine is a new chemical entity in the U.S., ISTA expected an Advisory Committee would be convened for Bepreve. ISTA continues to expect a standard review of ten months and has been given a Prescription Drug User Fee Action (PDUFA) date of September 12, 2009.

TALION was co-developed by Tanabe Seiyaku and Ube Industries, Ltd., who discovered bepotastine. In 2001, Tanabe Seiyaku grante
