Axpaxli (OTX-TKI) met its primary endpoint in the SOL-1 Phase 3 trial, demonstrating superiority over aflibercept in preserving visual acuity in wet AMD patients at week 36. A single injection of the intravitreal hydrogel led to higher rescue-free rates and better fluid control, supporting potential for reduced treatment burden. Ocular Therapeutix plans to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA.
Ocular Therapeutix stock surged 30% in premarket trading as the company prepared to release topline Phase 3 data for AXPAXLI in wet AMD. The SOL-1 trial results will be presented at the Macula Society meeting later in February. The company plans to file for FDA approval using one-year data if results are favorable.
Ocular Therapeutix's experimental drug Axpaxli showed superior vision maintenance compared to Regeneron's Eylea in a late-stage wet AMD trial. Meanwhile, Ocugen reported 12-month data showing its gene therapy OCU410 reduced geographic atrophy lesions by 31%, though less than earlier interim results. Both companies are advancing toward regulatory submissions and further clinical development.
Sanofi has submitted a revised acquisition bid for Ocular Therapeutix ahead of pivotal Phase 3 trial results for AXPAXLI, a sustained-release treatment for wet AMD. The deal could position Sanofi to re-enter the ophthalmology market it previously abandoned. The acquisition would give Sanofi access to innovative hydrogel delivery technology with potential applications beyond eye disease.
