Recent press releases and 8-K filings for OCUL.
- OCULAR THERAPEUTIX, INC. (OCUL) intends to submit a new drug application (NDA) for its product candidate AXPAXLI (OTX-TKI) for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).
- This submission will be based on year 1 data from the SOL-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, departing from the historical FDA requirement of two clinical trials for such ophthalmic product candidates.
- The company expects to report top-line data from year 1 of the SOL-1 clinical trial during the first quarter of 2026.
- Ocular Therapeutix expects the readout of its first Phase III study, SOL-1, for AXPAXLI in the first quarter of 2026, with the goal of obtaining a superiority label.
- The second Phase III study, SOLAR, is anticipated to read out in the first half of 2027 , and together with SOL-1, aims to provide a label with dosing flexibility of every six to twelve months with repeatability.
- The company has secured an IP extension for AXPAXLI until 2044.
- Ocular Therapeutix is also pursuing the NPDR opportunity, where AXPAXLI could potentially offer an injection once a year.
- Ocular Therapeutix expects the readout for its SOL-1 Phase III study for AXPAXLI in Q1 2026, with the primary goal of obtaining a superiority label.
- The SOL-R Phase III study for AXPAXLI is anticipated to read out in the first half of 2027, designed to provide clinical relevance, demonstrate repeatability, and offer a comparison against high-dose EYLEA.
- The company holds an IP extension for AXPAXLI until 2044.
- Ocular Therapeutix is also pursuing the NPDR (Diabetic Retinopathy) opportunity with AXPAXLI, targeting a once-a-year injection and utilizing a novel ordinal endpoint validated by the FDA.
- Ocular Therapeutix is focused on retina and developing AXPAXLI, a TKI on a tunable hydrogel platform, to address treatment sustainability and long-term outcomes in retinal vascular diseases by targeting VEGF.
- The company has two Phase III studies for AXPAXLI: SOL-1, aiming for a superiority label in wet macular degeneration, with readout expected in Q1 2026, and SOLAR, designed for clinical relevance and non-inferiority against Eylea, with readout in H1 2027.
- AXPAXLI's target product profile includes a superiority label, dosing flexibility of six to twelve months with repeatability, and a durability of nine to ten months. The company's IP extension has been granted until 2044.
- Ocular Therapeutix identifies a significant opportunity in diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), where AXPAXLI could offer a once-a-year injection to potentially reduce vision-threatening complications from 30-40% to zero, addressing the current underutilization of anti-VEGFs in this patient population.
- Ocular Therapeutix has randomized the first patient in the HELIOS-3 Phase 3 registrational program for AXPAXLI (OTX-TKI) for the treatment of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).
- The HELIOS program, comprising HELIOS-2 and HELIOS-3, aims to evaluate AXPAXLI's ability to alter the course of NPDR with infrequent dosing, potentially as infrequent as every 12 months.
- The studies are designed as superiority trials, targeting a broad diabetic retinopathy label by including patients with non-center-involved diabetic macular edema, and utilize a novel ordinal ≥2-step diabetic retinopathy severity score (DRSS) primary endpoint.
- This program addresses a significant unmet need, as there are over 6 million NPDR patients in the U.S., with fewer than 1% currently receiving therapy due to the burden of frequent injections.
- Ocular Therapeutix (OCUL) is advancing AXPAXLI, its lead program for retinal diseases, with two pivotal Phase III studies for wet macular degeneration: SOL-1 (superiority study) with card turn in Q1 2026, and SOLAR (non-inferiority study) with card turn in H1 2027.
- The company aims for AXPAXLI to achieve the first and only superiority label versus an anti-VEGF for wet AMD, supported by an IP extension to 2044.
- OCUL plans to leverage a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for efficient submission after the successful SOLR study, benefiting from both components of AXPAXLI being independently FDA-approved and a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
- For diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, OCUL is conducting pivotal studies (Helios 2 and 3) using a novel ordinal endpoint, with the expectation of securing a broad label covering all diabetic retinal disease.
- OCUL is well-capitalized and possesses the expertise to commercialize AXPAXLI independently, with no current plans for partnerships or licensing opportunities.
- Ocular Therapeutix is advancing two pivotal Phase III programs for AXPAXLI: SOL-1, a superiority study with card turn anticipated in Q1 2026, and SOL-R, a non-inferiority study with card turn expected in H1 2027.
- AXPAXLI, a highly potent and selective TKI on a hydrogel platform, is being developed for wet macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema, with the goal of offering a once-a-year injection to enhance treatment sustainability and patient outcomes.
- The company anticipates achieving a superiority label for AXPAXLI in wet AMD, which would allow for flexible dosing every six to twelve months, and holds an IP extension until 2044.
- Ocular Therapeutix plans an efficient regulatory submission utilizing a 505(b)(2) pathway and intends to commercialize AXPAXLI independently, highlighting that the diabetic retinopathy market is 3.5 times larger than wet macular degeneration.
- Ocular Therapeutix is advancing two Phase III programs for AXPAXLI in wet macular degeneration (wet AMD): SOL-1 (superiority study) with card turn anticipated in Q1 2026, and SOL-R (non-inferiority study) with card turn expected in H1 2027.
- AXPAXLI, a potent and selective TKI on a hydrogel platform, is being developed for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and diabetic macular edema (DME). The company anticipates a superiority label for wet AMD, allowing for dosing every six to twelve months, and has an IP extension to 2044.
- The target market for diabetic retinopathy is 3.5 times larger than wet AMD, with less than 1% of patients currently treated due to sustainability issues. AXPAXLI aims to offer a once-a-year injection for DR, with pivotal studies (Helios 2 and 3) utilizing an FDA-validated ordinal endpoint for a broad label covering all diabetic retinal disease.
- The regulatory submission process is expected to be efficient via a 505(b)(2) pathway, as AXPAXLI's components are already FDA-approved, and SOL-1 has a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). Ocular Therapeutix plans to commercialize AXPAXLI independently, leveraging its existing Dextenza commercial team.
- Oculis reported $182.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of September 30, 2025, with a recent $110 million financing extending its cash runway into 2029.
- The company is accelerating its portfolio development, with Privosegtor moving into the PIONEER pivotal program for Acute Optic Neuritis (AON) and Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION), with the first trial, PIONEER-1, expected to initiate in Q4 2025.
- OCS-01 DIAMOND Phase 3 trials for diabetic macular edema (DME) are on track for topline results in Q2 2026, and the Licaminlimab PREDICT-1 registrational trial for dry eye disease (DED) is expected to start in Q4 2025.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2025, research and development expenses were $17.6 million, and general and administrative expenses were $8.0 million. The year-to-date net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $89.7 million.
- Ocular Therapeutix ended Q3 2025 with approximately $345 million in cash, which does not reflect $445 million in net proceeds from an October equity financing, providing an expected cash runway into 2028.
- The SOLAR registrational study for XPAXLY in Wet AMD has reached its target randomization of 555 subjects, with top-line data anticipated in the first half of 2027.
- The SOL1 superiority trial for XPAXLY in Wet AMD remains on track for top-line data in the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating over 95% patient retention.
- The Helios program for diabetic retinopathy, including nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and diabetic macular edema (DME), is set to initiate imminently, with Helios 2 and Helios 3 designed as superiority trials under FDA agreements.
