Ocugen (NASDAQ: OCGN) has completed dosing in the third cohort of its Phase 1/2 GARDian clinical trial for OCU410ST, a modifier gene therapy for Stargardt disease. The trial, conducted at six U.S. retinal surgery centers, has finished Phase 1 of the dose-escalation portion. Three subjects received the highest dose (2.25×1011 vg/mL) via subretinal injection. The GARDian trial aims to assess safety and efficacy of OCU410ST in Stargardt patients, who currently lack FDA-approved treatments. Dr. Charles Wykoff, lead investigator, noted an encouraging safety and tolerability profile. The trial includes three dose levels, and Ocugen plans to provide periodic clinical updates as it advances this potential one-time treatment option.

Ocugen (NASDAQ: OCGN) has received approval from Health Canada to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial for OCU400, its modifier gene therapy for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The trial, named liMeliGhT, will run parallel to the U.S. FDA trial, potentially expediting a gene-agnostic treatment option for approximately 110,000 patients in the U.S. and Canada.

The study will enroll up to 50 subjects across 5 Canadian sites, targeting patients aged 8 and older with various stages of RP. The primary endpoint is the change in functional vision measured by the Luminance Dependent Navigation Assessment (LDNA). OCU400 has received orphan drug and RMAT designations from the FDA, with 2026 BLA and MAA approval targets.

Ocugen (NASDAQ: OCGN) reported its Q2 2024 financial results and provided a business update. Key highlights include:

• Active dosing in OCU400 Phase 3 liMeliGhT clinical trial for retinitis pigmentosa
• Progression to Phase 2 of OCU410 ArMaDa clinical trial for geographic atrophy
• Expanded access program approved for OCU400
• $32.6 million net cash from public offering of common stock

The company's cash position was $16.0 million as of June 30, 2024. Total operating expenses for Q2 2024 were $16.6 million, with a net loss of $0.04 per share. Ocugen continues to advance its gene therapy pipeline and expects OCU410 preliminary safety and efficacy data later this year.

Ocugen, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCGN) has received FDA approval to begin an expanded access program (EAP) for OCU400, its modifier gene therapy candidate for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The EAP will allow adult patients aged 18 and older with RP to access OCU400 outside of clinical trials. This development follows positive Phase 1/2 study data and an ongoing Phase 3 liMeliGhT clinical trial.

OCU400 has received orphan drug and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designations from the FDA. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has also accepted the U.S.-based trial for submission of a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA). Ocugen aims for targeted BLA and MAA approval in 2026.
