Part of OCS is seeking Priority Medicines and Breakthrough Therapy designations for Privosegtor for optic neuritis from the FDA and EMA.

How could positive regulatory designations for OCS affect Nasdaq?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

OCS regulatory success may boost investor confidence on Nasdaq The positive Phase 2 ACUITY trial findings for Privosegtor supported the granting of Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and PRIority Medicines (PRIME) designation by the European Medicines Agency. These designations recognize the drug's potential as a first-in-class neuroprotective therapy for optic neuritis. As Oculis Holding AG (OCS) is formally listed and trades shares on the Nasdaq stock exchange, such significant regulatory milestones typically increase investor confidence and valuation of the company.
