• Oculis Holding secured a formal Special Protocol Assessment from the FDA for its pivotal Phase 3 PIONEER-1 trial of Privosegtor in optic neuritis.
• The FDA agreement confirms that the PIONEER-1 trial design is adequate to support a potential future NDA submission.
• In parallel, new findings from the DME AWARE study support further development of OCS-01 eye drops for diabetic macular edema.
• These updates arrive with NasdaqGM:OCS trading at $31.09, with the stock up 13.1% over the past week and 55.5% year to date.

For investors tracking ophthalmology stocks, Oculis Holding (NasdaqGM:OCS) is drawing attention with a mix of late stage clinical progress and a strong recent share price run. The stock sits at $31.09, with returns of 13.1% over the past week, 17.8% over the past month, 55.5% year to date, and 66.3% over the past year, while the 3 year return is about 3x. These moves frame today’s FDA and clinical updates as particularly relevant for anyone already exposed to, or considering, eye care therapeutics in their portfolio.
