Needham initiated coverage on Ocular Therapeutix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OCUL#NASDAQ">OCUL</a>), noting the company&#8217;s lead asset, Axpaxli, an investigational axitinib-based intravitreal implant for wet age-related <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" rel="noreferrer noopener">macular degeneration (wet AMD)</a>.
Axpaxli is the company&#8217;s key value driver and is under evaluation in two phase 3 trials. If positive, these trials could support approval with a product label that enables maintenance treatment with Q6M (every 6 months)-Q12M (every 12 months) dosing, which would represent a significant improvement over current treatment options that offer up to Q2M (every two months)-Q4M (every 4 months) dosing.

Ocular Therapeutix has completed randomization in the first wet AMD trial, SOL-1. The company expects topline results for SOL-1 to be available in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42969789/ocular-therapeutix-shares-sol-r-enrollment-progress-and-next-steps-for-axpaxli-in-npdr" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth quarter of 2025</a>.
The company has enrolled 311 subjects in SOL-R, Ocular&#8217;s second registrational trial of Axpaxli in wet AMD. The company also plans to seek FDA feedback in the first half of 2025 on clinical trial design for Axpaxli in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).
The analyst Serge Belanger has initiated with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OCUL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and a price target of $15</a>.
Needham writes that intravitreally injected anti-VEGFs make up the ~$15 billion retinal disease market.
The analyst expects Axpaxli to play a role as a second-line treatment in the ~40% of 1.65 million wet AMD patients treated with anti-VEGFs who fail to adequately respond to anti-VEGFs and/or are dissatisfied with the high number of required IVT injections. Needham expects peak sales of around $1.5 billion based on a 15-20% share of this second-line AMD patient population.
&#8220;We believe Axpaxli&#8217;s product profile and unique pivotal ph 3 program offer substantial advantageous differentiation over other products in development seeking to provide long-term treatment duration,&#8221; Needham writes.
Ocular Therapeutix reported a fourth-quarter loss of 29 cents per share, compared to a consensus of 24 cents, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales of $17.1 million</a>.
