OCS-01 positive Phase 3 Stage 1 results highlight its potential in DME

DIAMOND (DIAbetic Macular edema patients ON a Drop) is a Phase 3, two-stage, clinical program to assess the efficacy and safety of OCS-01 eye drops in DME patients. The primary objective of Stage 1 (n=148) was to select the optimal dosing regimen for Stage 2 which includes two 52-week parallel Phase 3 clinical trials, DIAMOND-1 and DIAMOND-2, and study the efficacy and safety of OCS-01.

DIAMOND Phase 3 Stage 1 Results showed robust statistically significant improvement in vision and reduction in retinal edema with OCS-01 vs vehicle:

7.2 letter gain in BCVA versus baseline at week 6, increasing to 7.6 at week 12

25.3% of patients gained ≥15 letters at week 6, increasing to 27.4% at week 12

Rapid reduction in retinal edema already at week 2

Imputation rules are applied based on a pattern-mixture model approach.

Rate of any ocular treatment-emergent adverse event was similar between OCS-01 and vehicle.

Stage 2 of the DIAMOND program was initiated in late 2023 following the positive results of Stage 1 and includes two 52-week parallel Phase 3 trials, DIAMOND-1 and DIAMOND-2.

OCS-01 is an investigational drug and has not received regulatory approval for commercial use in any country.

Rethinking Ophthalmology to Save Sight and Improve Eye Care

The treatment of DME with repeated intravitreal injections results in a significant burden for our patients. As a field, we have been actively seeking for non-invasive alternatives to address DME, aiming to intervene earlier and alleviate treatment burden. OCS-01 eye drops have emerged as a potential solution for this unmet need, and the encouraging results from Stage 1 of the DIAMOND Phase 3 trial support this outlook.”
