Ocular Therapeutix Announces Positive Phase 2 PAXTRAVA Glaucoma Data at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery 2024 Annual Meeting

Phase 2 data highlight consistent and sustained reductions in Intraocular Pressure (IOP), statistically significant (p<0.0001) through six months, with clinically meaningful reductions of 24-30% achieved with a single PAXTRAVA implant

Generally well tolerated with no impact on corneal health observed

Consistent durability of IOP reduction and implant bioresorption shows potential for repeat dosing without stacking of implants

Expanded Focus on Retinal Disease Highlighted at the April 4th Eyecelerator

BEDFORD, Mass., April 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCUL, “Ocular”, the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company committed to enhancing people’s vision and quality of life through the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and other diseases and conditions of the eye, today announced positive Phase 2 data for PAXTRAVA (travoprost intracameral implant or OTX-TIC) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (reported together as “glaucoma”, below) The data are being presented by Mark Gallardo, MD during the 2024 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Annual Meeting.

“Ocular is very pleased to report positive six-month topline results for PAXTRAVA in the Phase 2 glaucoma study. We designed the Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate PAXTRAVA over several time points that we believe are clinically meaningful, through six months. Observation of IOP reduction as early as the first follow-up visit, at 2 weeks, and demonstration of a 24-30% reduction in mean IOP through six months, with consistent and sustained reductions at each and every timepoint, are at the core of our enthusiasm for these results. That the majority of eyes (81.3%) treated with PAXTRAVA did not require additional IOP lowering therapy through six months further supports the strength of the data,” said Rabia Gurses Ozden, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Ocular Therapeutix. “As we incorporate these efficacy data, coupled with the expanded safety database, into our evaluation of next steps for the program, we thank all of the patients, caregivers and study sites who participated in this Phase 2 study.”
