Ocugen (OCGN) said Tuesday that an independent safety board reviewed data from the first dosing group in its phase 1 trial of OCU200 for diabetic macular edema and approved advancing to the second group.
The company said the trial is testing OCU200, a fusion protein combining two human proteins, in patients receiving two doses six weeks apart.
Ocugen said it plans to complete the study in H2 and provide periodic updates on safety and efficacy.
