Ocular Therapeutix (NASDAQ: OCUL) has received FDA confirmation that its Phase 3 SOL-R clinical trial is suitable as a registrational study for AXPAXLI™ (axitinib intravitreal implant) in treating wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). The FDA agreed that using one superiority study (SOL-1) and one non-inferiority study (SOL-R) is acceptable for a potential New Drug Application. SOL-R evaluates repeat dosing of AXPAXLI every six months compared to standard aflibercept treatment. This development clarifies the regulatory path for AXPAXLI in wet AMD, potentially offering a new treatment paradigm with long-term visual improvements through durable VEGF suppression.

Ocular Therapeutix (NASDAQ: OCUL) has initiated patient enrollment in the Phase 3 SOL-R clinical trial for AXPAXLI™, evaluating its efficacy in treating wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). This global study involves 825 patients and aims to demonstrate non-inferiority of AXPAXLI dosed every six months compared to 2 mg aflibercept dosed every eight weeks. The trial includes a third arm with 8 mg aflibercept dosed every six months for masking purposes.

SOL-R complements the ongoing SOL-1 trial, focusing on repeat dosing to reflect real-world treatment scenarios. It will initially enroll patients ineligible for SOL-1, later expanding to include treatment-naïve patients or those recently diagnosed with wet AMD. The study design incorporates multiple aflibercept loading doses and evaluates patients to limit retinal fluid fluctuations, potentially increasing the likelihood of success.
