What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Eton Pharmaceuticals announced the US rights license for ASN-001 (timolol topical gel) from Auson. Phase II/III data show week 24 elimination rates of 56% (BID) and 42% (TID) versus 15% placebo, supporting an NDA filing in 2H 2027 and potential 2028 launch. The asset targets moderate infantile hemangiomas and could broaden Eton's addressable market beyond HEMANGEOL.
