Another Phase III success for Oculis' eye drug

8 August 2023

Swiss ophthalmology specialist Oculis Holding (Nasdaq: OCS) today released positive top-line results from its Phase III OPTIMIZE trial with OCS-01 eye drops, a novel, once-daily, high concentration, preservative-free, topical OPTIREACH formulation of dexamethasone for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.

If approved, OCS-01 has the potential to become a new standard of care and the first once-daily, topical, preservative-free corticosteroid for treating inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.

The new data add to the recent Phase III DIAMOND trial of OCS-01 eye drops in diabetic macular edema (DME), at which time Oculis noted that a topical gent had never before demonstrated a positive result in DME.
