One of our most advanced product candidates, OCS-01, has successfully completed a Phase 2 trial in DME (DX-211) with 144 patients providing the first proof-of-concept for a topical drug effect in retinal edema. If approved in DME, it has the potential to provide a new and potentially the FIRST non-invasive option for patients.
OCS-01 also successfully completed another Phase 2 trial in Inflammation and Pain following cataract surgery. Following the completion of both Phase 2 trials, an End of Phase 2 meeting was conducted with FDA and the product candidate is now moving into phase III in both indications.
OCS-01 has been developed using the OPTIREACH solubilizing nanoparticle (SNP) technology, a proprietary platform that enables the formulation of drugs as non-invasive topical treatments, a longer residence time on the eye surface and enhances their bioavailability in the relevant eye tissues.
