Oculis Shares Fall After Decision To Not Pursue FDA Approval For Eye Disease Treatment

Dow Jones

By Christopher Kuo

Oculis Holding shares plunged after the company said it does not plan to pursue a regulatory filing with the Food and Drug Administration for its proposed treatment for an eye disease.

Shares of the biopharmaceutical company fell 23% to $22.71 Friday. Despite the intraday decline, the stock was up 14% year to date.

The company's decision not to file with the FDA comes after key primary and secondary endpoints were not met in its Phase 3 trials of OCS-01 eye drops in patients with diabetic macular edema, a complication from diabetes that can cause vision loss or blindness.

Chief Executive Riad Sherif said the company is "naturally disappointed" with the results form the trials.

"We will strategically focus resources on advancing our late-stage portfolio, including the Privosegtor platform, starting with the PIONEER program for Privosegtor in optic neuropathies, and the PREDICT-1 trial for Licaminlimab to drive precision medicine in dry eye disease," Sherif said.
