(NASDAQ: TARS) today announced a new partnership with John Cena to raise awareness of <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis, a common but often overlooked eyelid disease caused by microscopic mites that live in and around the eyelashes. Cena\u2019s story reflects the experience of millions who live with symptoms for years before seeking care and receiving a proper diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this campaign, Cena will detail his own experience with <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis and XDEMVY\u00ae (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25%, the first and only FDA-approved treatment that directly targets and kills the mites that cause <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suffered from eyelid redness, itching and crusting for years, chalking it up to long days on set under bright lights,\u201d said Cena. \u201cBut it finally got to the point where I couldn\u2019t ignore it any longer. My eye doctor diagnosed me with <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis, and I was relieved to finally understand what was causing my symptoms and to know there was an available treatment. After being prescribed XDEMVY, my eyelid mites were eliminated and my symptoms resolved. I\u2019ve spent years pushing my body to the limit, but I hadn\u2019t paid attention to my eye health. Now, I make eye exams a regular part of my routine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campaign will roll out in the coming months via media interviews and social content highlighting Cena\u2019s experience with eyelid mites, his experience with XDEMVY and his commitment to eye health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often, people ignore or even accept common eye symptoms like redness, itching and irritation, without realizing they may signal an underlying, treatable condition,\u201d said Bobby Azamian, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Tarsus. \u201cJohn\u2019s story is relatable to millions who often overlook or neglect their eye health, and his candid perspective and understated humor help bring attention to a significant disease. Regular eye exams are critical, and we hope his experience encourages more people to recognize the signs, seek care and take their eye health seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis can be diagnosed during a routine eye exam, when an eye care provider asks the patient to look down to examine the eyelid margin for the presence of collarettes (crusting). One hundred percent of patients with collarettes have <em>Demodex<\/em> blepharitis.

XDEMVY was evaluated in two pivotal trials involving over 800 patients with twice-daily dosing for six weeks. Both trials met the primary endpoint and all secondary endpoints, with statistical significance and no serious treatment-related adverse events. Most patients found the XDEMVY eye drop to be neutral to very comfortable. The most common ocular adverse reactions observed in the studies were instillation site stinging and burning which was reported in 10% of patients. Other ocular adverse reactions reported by less than 2% of patients were chalazion\/hordeolum (stye) and punctate keratitis.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. applies proven science and new technology to revolutionize treatment for patients, starting with eye care.
