Allegro has two pipeline projects: Risuteganib, an integrin-regulating therapy being evaluated in dry atrophic macular degeneration, and ALG-1007, a topical integrin regulator being evaluated in dry eye syndrome, the report said.

Drug sales in the dry AMD and DES markets are expected to grow, the report said.
