Study result summary
29 May, 2026Phase III/DIAMOND Study Results for OCS-01 in DME
Both DIAMOND-1 and DIAMOND-2 phase III trials for OCS-01 in diabetic macular edema did not meet their primary endpoint of change in BCVA at week 52, nor the key secondary endpoint of ≥15 letter gain in BCVA.
Objective measures showed rapid and sustained reduction in retinal thickness in the active arm versus vehicle through week 52, replicating earlier stage results.
OCS-01 was well-tolerated with no unexpected safety findings or adverse events; elevated IOP and cataract rates were consistent with chronic steroid use.
Over 800 patients were enrolled across 119 sites in the US and other countries, with over 80% completing the 52-week study and high compliance.
No material differences were observed between phakic and pseudophakic patients, and trial execution quality was confirmed.
Strategic Focus and Financial Position
No FDA regulatory filing will be pursued for OCS-01 in DME; focus shifts to advancing late-stage portfolio assets.
Developmental efforts and resources will shift to the Privosegtor PIONEER program in optic neuropathies and the licaminlimab PREDICT-1 trial in dry eye disease.
Cash runway extends into the second half of 2029, with $278 million in cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2026.
Routine site closeout costs for DIAMOND studies are expected in Q2 and early Q3; no licensing fees are due for OCS-01.
Analyst and investor call scheduled to review results and provide a pipeline update.
Updates on Ongoing and Future Studies
PREDICT-1 is a registrational trial for licaminlimab in dry eye, enrolling 160 patients with primary endpoint at day 29; updates expected end of year or early next year.
Approximately 70% of planned sites for PREDICT-1 are in active screening; randomization updates to be provided in Q3.
PIONEER program for Privosegtor includes three trials for optic neuropathies, with PIONEER-1 and -2 for optic neuritis and PIONEER-3 for NAION; over 70 sites are in various stages of activation.
PIONEER-1 trial design is aligned with FDA under SPA, with first patient treatment expected soon.
PIONEER-2 will begin after randomization starts in PIONEER-1; focus remains on quality execution and protocol adherence.
