Competitive Landscape
In EoE diagnostics, NexEos competes against the entrenched standard of endoscopic biopsy and may face emerging blood or imaging-based tests. In VKC, competition includes off-label use of immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine) and a developing pipeline of targeted biologics and other novel therapies from larger biopharma companies.
