Data From Both Products Shows Clinical Progress. Unicycive presented data at the European Renal Association (ERA) Congress for OLC and UNI-494, its two products currently in clinical development. Earlier this month, the company presented data from its OLC bioequivalence study and a market survey study on phosphate binder compliance at the National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

OLC Clinical Data Presented At National Kidney Foundation Meeting. Unicycive presented data from its Phase 1 bioequivalence study comparing OLC with lanthanum carbonate, the active compound in the phosphate binder Fosrenol. The second poster presented data from a survey of renal dieticians who help manage patients’ diet and phosphate levels. The survey is consistent with prior data showing that daily pill burden is a factor in patient compliance, and that OLC’s reduced pill burden could lead to better compliance and patient outcomes.

Ocugen (OCGN) – OCU500 Nasal COVID-19 Vaccine Chosen By NIH To Start Clinical Trials

Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Ocugen, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing novel gene therapies, biologicals, and vaccines. The lead product in its gene therapy program, OCU400, is in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for retinitis pigmentosa.

Good News For A Program Where No News Was Expected. Ocugen announced that its OCU500 nasal vaccine for COVID-19 has been chosen to start Phase 1 clinical trials run by the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, a division of the National Institutes of Health. We see this as a positive development for the vaccine program since Ocugen had no plans to develop OCU500 without obtaining non-dilutive funding. We have no revenues for the vaccine programs in our models, and we see the selection by NIAID for Phase 1 clinical trials as upside for the company.

We See The Selection By NIAID As A Technology Validation. OCU500 was developed to stimulate immunity in the nasal passages and lungs where the virus enters the body and the infection begins. This is intended to prevent both the initial infection and transmission of the virus to others. We see the OCU500 selection as a validation to the Ocugen inhaled vaccine technology, which currently includes OCU500 for COVID-19, OCU510 for influenza, and OCU520 for both COVID-19 and influenza. The carrier technology can be used to develop other vaccines as well.
