A 12-week Phase 2/3 Double-masked, Randomized, Multicenter Study of OCS-01 Eye Drops in Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
Key Points:
- A 12-week Phase 2/3 Double-masked, Randomized, Multicenter Study of OCS-01 Eye Drops in Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
OCS-01 is Oculis’ lead product candidate and the first investigational eye drop for both front and back of the eye indications, with positive results in Stage 1 of the Phase 3 DIAMOND trial for DME announced in May 2023, and positive Phase 3 OPTIMIZE trial results for inflammation and pain following cataract surgery announced in August 2023. - Furthermore, the investigator-initiated LEOPARD study evaluating OCS-01 for the treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) enrolled its first patient in August 2023.
- Leveraging Oculis’ proprietary OPTIREACH® technology, OCS-01 is a novel, high concentration (15 mg/ml), topical formulation of dexamethasone.
- If approved, OCS-01 has the potential to become the first topical preservative-free eye drop for the treatment of DME, the leading cause of vision loss and legal blindness in patients with diabetes.
