MARIETTA, Ga.—M2 Biologics, founded in 2019 by The McGee Group and NovaNet, Inc., has announced a partnership with Truax Patient Services (TPS) to assist with the fulfillment of StimulEyes, a solution for Dry Eye Disease (DED). This partnership will make StimulEyes the first non-pharmaceutical biologic product dispensed through a national specialty pharmacy, simplifying the process of getting the solution to the patient by ensuring doctors can write and transmit an easily fillable prescription. M2’s StimulEyes treatment utilizes the latest advancements in regenerative medicine, such as a unique fluid matrix of bio-proteins and hyaluronic acid that may reduce inflammation and provide lubricating relief to DED patients.

The growth factors in the matrix have the potential to promote cell repair and restore normal ocular surface function, according to M2. A typical prescription for StimulEyes is delivered via a dropper system and calls for one drop in each eye twice a day for an initial three-month course of treatment, after which the patient is monitored by the doctor to determine level of future use. StimulEyes does not require refrigeration and can be stored at room temperature.
 
M2 launched SimulEyes in September 2020, as reported by VMAIL.
 
Robert Crowe, PhD, chief clinical and scientific officer for M2 Biologics, said, “The world of non-pharmaceutical biologics is a key piece in the broader story of regenerative medicine, offering transformative options for a host of ailments, illnesses and injuries. Our partnership with TPS opens up vast new opportunities for us to safely and efficiently get StimulEyes into the hands—and eyes—of Dry Eye Disease sufferers. We’re excited about working with TPS to make biologics and regenerative medicine solutions more widely available for those who may benefit from them.”
