OCS-01 was also found to be well tolerated in the trial.

Oculis Scientific Advisory Board co-chair Eric Donnenfeld said: “OCS-01 could bring significant therapeutic benefit as a once-daily treatment for inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.

“In addition, given its ability to reach the back of the eye, it could also offer further benefit in treating retinal oedema, as shown in Oculis’ DME Phase II trial and previous exploratory trial in CME, a significant complication following ocular surgery.”

Currently, OCS-01 is also being assessed as the first potential topical treatment for diabetic macular oedema (DME) in another ongoing Phase III DIAMOND clinical trial.

Oculis CEO Riad Sherif said: “Oculis has taken a material step forward in advancing OCS-01’s Phase III clinical trial and I wish to congratulate everyone involved.”
