2. United States FDA Update
Cross-linking for Keratoconus & Post-LASIK Ectasia
• On March 29, 2015, Avedro received a Complete Response
Letter (CRL) to its NDA for riboflavin ophthalmic solutions with
UVA irradiation for use in corneal cross-linking for the treatment
of progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia.
• The questions raised by the CRL were related to equivalency
between the study device and final commercial system.
• Agreement reached on specific measurements required to
address these questions. Application resubmitted October 16,
