Ocular Therapeutix™: Launching a Bold New Vision in Retina Care
BEDFORD, Mass., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCUL) is making waves in the biopharmaceutical world with its new corporate branding and website, signaling a pivotal shift towards a retina-focused mission. This transformation highlights the company’s dedication to enhancing the experience of individuals affected by retinal diseases.
Vision for Change: Ocular’s Transformation
“Retinal disease, including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a leading cause of blindness,” shared Pravin U. Dugel, MD, Executive Chairman, President, and CEO of Ocular Therapeutix. “Our objective is to redefine the retina experience to alleviate the heavy burden associated with existing treatments, ultimately preserving long-term vision.” This powerful statement underscores Ocular’s commitment to innovation and patient care.
A New Identity
With its revamped branding, Ocular aims to communicate the significant advancements it’s made in the realm of retinal disease treatment. Their approach, fueled by momentum from the SOL clinical trials, epitomizes a forward-thinking ethos designed to resonate with patients and healthcare providers alike.
Tackling the Challenges of Retinal Disease
Understanding the Burden of Treatment
The statistics are alarming: wet AMD affects 1.8 million people in the U.S., with existing treatment options often demanding up to 12 injections per year. This entanglement creates an immense burden on patients and their caregivers, leading to treatment discontinuation and suboptimal long-term outcomes. In fact, one in four patients develop fibrosis within two years and experience atrophy within five years of starting treatment.
A Game-Changer: AXPAXLI™
Ocular is paving the way for innovative solutions with its investigational therapy, AXPAXLI™ (OTX-TKI). This axitinib hydrogel, administered by intravitreal injection, has the potential to significantly improve durability and long-term outcomes for patients grappling with wet AMD and other retinal diseases.
Experience the Transformation
The new corporate branding is now fully integrated across Ocular’s website, social media, and internal platforms. It will make its debut at the upcoming American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) conference, marking a significant chapter in the company’s journey.
