Prior to the collaboration with TSH, Zhaoke has already established commercial partnership with local distributors in South Korea, Australia/New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia and the Middle East. In South Korea, the New Drug Application (“NDA”) on BRIMOCHOL™ PF has already been submitted and accepted by its regulatory authority.
In addition, in June 2025, Tenpoint Therapeutics, Ltd., Zhaoke’s partner and the developer of BRIMOCHOL™ PF, announced that the U.S. FDA accepted its New Drug Application (“NDA”) The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of 28 January 2026 for BRIMOCHOL™ PF.
Dr. Li Xiaoyi (Benjamin), Chairman of the Board, Executive Director and CEO of Zhaoke Ophthalmology, commented, “BRIMOCHOL™ PF represents a major milestone in our innovation pipeline for presbyopia treatment. We are excited to collaborate with TSH Biopharm, a highly respected leader in Taiwan’s specialty pharmaceutical market, to accelerate the clinical introduction and future market launch of this novel therapy. Together, we aim to enhance access to advanced vision-care solutions for the aging population in Taiwan Region.”
TSH Biopharm General Manager Sze Yuan Yang commented, “As Taiwan moves towards an increasingly aging society, the introduction of BRIMOCHOL™ PF not only enriches the self-paid presbyopia treatment landscape but also reinforces our commitment to bringing global innovations to improve visual health for the public. We sincerely appreciate the trust and partnership extended by Zhaoke Ophthalmology. Looking ahead, we are confident that our combined strengths will bring meaningful improvements to patient care and advance the development of innovative ophthalmic therapies in Taiwan Region.”
About BRIMOCHOL™ PF and BRIO-II Phase 3 Study
BRIMOCHOL™ PF is an investigational, preservative-free, once daily eyedrop to correct for the loss of near vision associated with aging. BRIO-II is a 3-arm, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, safety and efficacy study of BRIMOCHOL™ PF (carbachol/brimonidine tartrate fixed-dose combination) topical ophthalmic solution vs. carbachol monotherapy topical ophthalmic solution vs. a vehicle topical ophthalmic solution in subjects with emmetropic phakic or pseudophakic presbyopia (NCT05135286). The study enrolled 629 subjects across forty-seven sites in the United States.
About Presbyopia
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of near vision associated with aging, making it difficult to perform tasks like reading fine print. It typically begins in adults in their 40s and becomes almost universal by age 50. Presbyopia impacts billions of people globally with approximately 600 million adults affected in China, South Korea and Southeast Asia. In Australia, the total number of prevalence cases reached over 13.5 million in 2023, according to GlobalData. Reading glasses are the most common solution for near-vision correction; however, many people find glasses inconvenient or prefer not to wear them for aesthetic reasons. There are currently no approved presbyopia-correcting therapeutics in many countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
