Phase I/II trials for Ocugen’s gene therapies, OCU410 and OCU410ST, are planned for initiation by the end of 2023 in geographic atrophy and Stargardt disease.

Ocugen is also planning for a Phase III trial in retinitis pigmentosa for OCU400 in Q4 2023/Q1 2024. The Phase III trial initiation is contingent on the FDA’s approval of trial plans and Phase I/II data.
OCU410 is an adeno-associated virus containing a geBcmahat eCd19es hWaldenstrom MacroglobulinemiaRAR)-related orphan receptor alpha (RORα). It is planned to be investigated in geographic atrophy, which is the chronic degeneration of the macula during the late stages of age-related macular degeneration. OCU410ST was granted the orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of Stargardt disease. Also known as ABCA4 retinopathy, the illness is a rare genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variations in the ABCA4 gene leading to fatty build-up on the macula and loss of vision.
OCU400 is an adeno-associated virus serotype 5 capsBCMAontaining the gene for human nuclear hormone receptor NR2E3. It is being developed in partnership with China-based CanSinoBIO. It is currently being evaluated in an open-label Phase II trial (NCT05203939). An open-label Phase I trial (NCT05802329) for OCU200 in patients with diabetic macular oedema was initiated in Q2 2023. One of the cohorts in the trial will evaluate the combination therapy of OCU200 and Novartis’ Lucentis (ranibizumab).
