BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCUL), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the formulation, development, and commercialization of innovative therapies for diseases and conditions of the eye, today provided a corporate update on the progress of its key programs.
“2022 marked a year in which Ocular made good progress against its corporate mission of becoming a mid-tier strategic within ophthalmology,” said Antony Mattessich, President and CEO. “DEXTENZA, despite challenging market conditions, has established itself as a material and important product and demonstrated renewed growth in the fourth quarter of 2022.”
Mr. Mattessich continued: “The highlight of our year at Ocular was further development within our pipeline. At AAO in September, we presented impressive interim 6- and 7-month data from our U.S.-based Phase 1 clinical trial of OTX-TKI for the treatment of wet AMD. We believe the data further strengthen our ongoing development in wet AMD and supports proof of concept for OTX-TKI’s potential in the treatment of VEGF-mediated vascular retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. Both wet AMD and diabetic retinopathy represent large markets where durability could significantly reduce the burden of anti-VEGF injections and improve real-world outcomes for patients. With that in mind, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial in diabetic retinopathy in December 2022 and anticipate presenting interim data from this trial in 2023. We also plan to report 9- and 10-month data from the U.S. Phase 1 trial of OTX-TKI in wet AMD at the Angiogenesis meeting in February 2023. Lastly, we plan to present much anticipated data from our Phase 2 clinical trial of OTX-TIC for the treatment of glaucoma in Q4 2023. Overall, executing efficiently and working within the constraints of existing resources, we believe that the Company can pull forward our core development programs to be Phase 3-ready.”
