This week's news centers on fresh analyst attention toward Ocular Therapeutix's lead asset, Axpaxli. UBS initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $14.00 price target, citing Axpaxli's potential as a long-acting retinal therapy addressing a projected $20 billion U.S. market. The company also reported a Q2 loss of $0.35 per share on revenues of $13.5 million, narrower than consensus estimates, and noted plans to submit a new drug application for AXPAXLI in wet AMD in the fourth quarter while streamlining its HELIOS-3 diabetic retinopathy study.

Ocular Therapeutix works on treatments for diseases and conditions of the eye, built around a bioresorbable hydrogel platform of its own design. Two products have reached the market under this approach: ReSure Sealant, used to stop fluid leakage from corneal incisions following cataract surgery, and DEXTENZA, an insert that delivers dexamethasone to manage pain and inflammation after eye surgery and to treat allergic conjunctivitis.
Beyond these marketed products, the company has a pipeline of candidates at different clinical stages, covering areas such as wet age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, ocular hypertension and dry eye disease. It also works with outside partners to extend its reach: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals on combining the hydrogel technology with VEGF-targeting compounds for retinal disease, AffaMed Therapeutics on commercializing DEXTENZA and one of its pipeline candidates, and Mosaic Biosciences on early-stage discovery work aimed at dry age-related macular degeneration.
Founded in 2006, Ocular Therapeutix is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker OCUL.
