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 announced that it has dosed the first patients in its Phase 2 clinical trial of OTX-CSI (cyclosporine intracanalicular insert) for the treatment of dry eye disease.
"Having successfully completed the Phase 1 study, we are excited to have recently begun dosing patients in the Phase 2 study of OTX-CSI," said Michael Goldstein, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer. "OTX-CSI represents a novel route of delivering cyclosporine, a drug which has proven efficacy in the treatment of dry eye disease. Using our novel intracanalicular insert allows for preservative-free delivery of a consistent dose of cyclosporine that potentially makes OTX-CSI both less irritating to the ocular surface and faster acting than current standard of care drop therapies. If successfully developed, we believe OTX-CSI has the potential to become a highly differentiated treatment that would provide significant benefit to patients with dry eye disease."
The Phase 2 clinical trial is a U.S.-based, randomized, masked, multi-center trial evaluating two different formulations of OTX-CSI with vehicle insert in approximately 105 subjects who will be followed for a period of 16 weeks. The enrollment of the Phase 2 trial follows the successful completion of the U.S.-based, open-label, single-center Phase 1 study evaluating the safety, tolerability and durability of OTX-CSI and assessing biological activity by measuring signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in five subjects over approximately 16 weeks. The Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to further assess the safety, tolerability and durability and evaluate the efficacy of OTX-CSI in the treatment of dry eye disease.
About Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease is a common, multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort (such as burning sensation, itching, redness, stinging, pain and foreign body sensation), visual disturbance, and tear film instability that can cause potential damage to the ocular surface. Inflammation of the lacrimal gland and ocular surface have been shown to play a key role in dry eye disease, resulting in a reduction in tear production. Dry eye disease is one of the most common ophthalmic disorders presenting to clinicians and the Market Scope 2019 Dry Eye Products Market Report estimated that more than 17.2 million adults in the United States have been diagnosed with the disorder, including an estimated 8.6 million classified as having a moderate to severe form of the disease.

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 announced that it has dosed the first patients in a Phase 3 clinical trial of DEXTENZA® (dexamethasone ophthalmic insert) 0.4 mg for the treatment of post-surgical ocular inflammation and pain in children following cataract surgery.
"We are pleased to announce the start of a new clinical trial designed to evaluate the use of DEXTENZA for the treatment of post-surgical inflammation and pain in children undergoing cataract surgery," said Michael Goldstein, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer. "Performing cataract surgery in children represents a different set of surgical and technical challenges. One area critical to surgical outcomes is postoperative medication non-compliance. It can be very challenging to successfully administer topical eye drops to children particularly when they have recently had surgery. If approved for pediatric use, DEXTENZA could provide pediatric ophthalmic surgeons with an interesting product to use to help their patients."
The Phase 3 clinical trial is a U.S.-based, randomized, multicenter clinical trial that intends to enroll approximately 60 subjects between the ages of 0-3 years. The clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and biological activity of DEXTENZA compared to an active control, prednisolone acetate suspension eye drops, for the treatment of postoperative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery for pediatric cataract. This planned clinical trial is a post-approval requirement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in accordance with the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003, in connection with the FDA's prior approval of DEXTENZA for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery in adults.
About DEXTENZA
DEXTENZA is FDA approved for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery. DEXTENZA is a corticosteroid intracanalicular insert placed in the punctum, a natural opening in the inner portion of the lower eyelid, and into the canaliculus and is designed to deliver dexamethasone to the ocular surface for up to 30 days without preservatives. DEXTENZA resorbs and exits the nasolacrimal system without the need for removal.
The safety of DEXTENZA was assessed in three Phase 3 clinical trials and a Phase 2 clinical trial. Overall, 567 subjects were exposed to DEXTENZA. The most common ocular adverse reactions in subjects treated with DEXTENZA were: anterior chamber inflammation including iritis and iridocyclitis (10%), increased intraocular pressure (6%), reduced visual acuity (2%), cystoid macular edema (1%), corneal edema (1%), eye pain (1%), and conjunctival hyperemia (1%). The most common non-ocular adverse event was headache (1%).

Ocular Therapeutix™ Announces Successful Resolution of FDA Warning Letter Related to ReSure® SealantView Full Article Hide Full Article
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, announced it has received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dated September 2, 2020 closing out the Warning Letter it received from the FDA on October 18, 2018 concerning ReSure® Sealant. The violation cited in Warning Letter (CMS #564663) has been addressed and Ocular is committed to sustained compliance with all federal regulations.
"We are very excited to have cleared the way for ReSure's future" said Antony Mattessich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocular Therapeutics. "ReSure is well-regraded by anterior segment surgeons and fits perfectly into the bag with Dextenza. This resolution gives us the confidence to begin active promotion of ReSure and realize the synergies of a two-product field force."
The Warning Letter was issued to Ocular based on the observed inability to conduct a study evaluating endophthalmitis rates following ReSure use in a post-approval Device Exposure Registry study required under 21 CFR 814.82(a)(2) as a condition within the premarket approval (PMA) application. It was determined the ability to enroll a study evaluating endophthalmitis rates was prohibitively challenging due to the size of the study that would have required tens of thousands of patients. Ocular has come to an agreement with the FDA to conduct a retrospective study looking at sites with access to ReSure compared to those without access to ReSure using the American Academy of Ophthamology's Iris Registry data base.
About ReSure® Sealant
ReSure Sealant, a hydrogel ophthalmic wound medical device, is a product currently indicated for intraoperative management of clear corneal incisions (up to 3.5mm) with a demonstrated wound leak for which a temporary dry surface can be achieved, in order to prevent postoperative fluid egress from such incisions following cataract surgery with intraocular lens placement in adults.
