“This is an exciting time for Ocular Therapeutix, as we anticipate multiple key milestones throughout the remainder of 2016, including the July 2016 PDUFA date for DEXTENZA for the treatment of post-surgical ocular pain, as well as expected read-outs from our second Phase 3 DEXTENZA clinical trial for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis and our third Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of post-surgical ocular inflammation and pain,” said Amar Sawhney, Ph.D., President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. “Following the completion of an End-of-Phase 2 review with the FDA last month, we are also gearing up to initiate the first of two planned Phase 3 clinical trials with OTX-TP for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
