02:05 PM EDT, 05/28/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Ocular Therapeutix ( OCUL ) shares rose more than 12% in recent trading on Wednesday after the company said it will close enrollment this week in its registration trial evaluating Axpaxli for wet age-related macular degeneration.

Ocular said it expects to meet its target of randomizing at least 555 subjects in the trial, with participants enrolled across approximately 100 sites in the US, Argentina, India, and Australia.

The SOL-R trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of Axpaxli dosed every six months versus aflibercept given every eight weeks, Ocular said.

The company said it plans to file a new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration pending positive results from SOL-R and a separate registrational study, SOL-1.
