"The completion of enrollment in the AVERTS-1 Phase 3 trial is an important milestone given the significant unmet medical need with Ménière’s disease and the attractive market potential of OTIVIDEX in this indication," said David A. Weber, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Otonomy. “Likewise, the submission of the sNDA for OTIPRIO in AOE is an important achievement and supports our plan to build a successful OTIPRIO franchise. The changes to the commercial organization that we initiated in the first quarter have focused our effort on priority accounts and should enable us to demonstrate accelerating growth in OTIPRIO revenue over the course of the year."
