Celebrating Progress at Oculis' R&D Day
Oculis Holding AG (Nasdaq: OCS / XICE: OCS) is excited to announce an informative R&D Day, which provides a unique opportunity to engage with leaders in the biopharmaceutical field and gain insight into the cutting-edge advancements within the company. This event, hosted in Zug, Switzerland, will highlight critical developments in the company's pipeline addressing ophthalmic and neuro-ophthalmic diseases.
Overview of Innovative Pipeline
The event will include details about Oculis' three promising clinical candidates. These candidates are positioned to meet significant medical needs within the ophthalmic sector. Participants will hear about the latest findings from the recently disclosed ACUITY clinical trials as well as insights into future development directions that will shape the company's strategies.
Key Highlights of Pipeline Assets
One significant topic will be the ongoing Phase 3 DIAMOND trials of OCS-01, which targets diabetic macular edema (DME). Notably, this trial has completed enrollment, gathering more than 800 patients. The topline results are expected to be released in Q2 2026, offering a glimpse into the potential of OCS-01 as a breakthrough treatment option.
Personalized Approaches in Dry Eye Treatment
Furthermore, Oculis will unveil its personalized approach in the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) with the introduction of Licaminlimab (OCS-02). The company’s Phase 2/3 study, aimed to commence in the latter half of 2025, is poised to pave the way for innovative therapies tailored to individual patient profiles.

Oculis will also present expanded findings from the ACUITY Phase 2 trial, emphasizing the development plans for Privosegtor (OCS-05) in addressing acute optic neuritis (AON). This asset is not only focused on treating AON but is also expanding into new programs targeting conditions such as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuritis (NAION) and providing support for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experiencing acute relapses. These innovative programs illustrate Oculis' commitment to providing comprehensive care solutions in the neuro-ophthalmic diseases sector.
