Key Terms

phase 3, wet age-related macular degeneration, wet amd, form 8-k, +2 more

6 terms

phase 3 medical

"SOL-1 Phase 3 superiority clinical trial of AXPAXLI™ (also known as OTX-TKI)"

Phase 3 is the late-stage clinical testing step for a new drug or medical treatment, where the product is given to large groups of patients to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to standard care. Successful Phase 3 results are often the final scientific hurdle before regulators decide on approval and market launch—like passing a final exam before graduation—and can sharply change a company's valuation and future revenue prospects.

wet age-related macular degeneration medical

"for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD)"

A severe eye condition in which abnormal, fragile blood vessels grow beneath the macula — the small central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision — and leak fluid or blood, causing rapid loss of central sight. Investors care because the condition drives demand for high-cost therapies, medical devices and ongoing care; successful treatments can create sizable markets, affect healthcare spending and influence regulatory and reimbursement decisions, much like fixing a leaking camera lens restores image quality and value.

wet amd medical

"for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD)"

Wet AMD (wet age-related macular degeneration) is an eye disease in older adults where abnormal, leaky blood vessels grow under the retina and cause rapid vision loss in the center of the visual field. It matters to investors because it creates a sustained market for treatments, diagnostics and devices: changes in diagnosis rates, new drugs, or reimbursement rules can quickly affect healthcare revenues and the valuation of companies working on therapies.

form 8-k regulatory

"slides will be made available by a Current Report on Form 8-K to be furnished"

A Form 8-K is a report that companies file with the government to share important news quickly, such as changes in leadership, major business deals, or financial updates. It matters because it helps investors stay informed about significant events that could affect the company's value or stock price.

securities and exchange commission regulatory

"to be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at 4:00 PM ET"

A national government agency that enforces rules for buying, selling and disclosing information about stocks and other investments, acting like a referee and scorekeeper for financial markets. It requires companies to share clear, regular financial and business information and investigates fraud or rule-breaking, which matters to investors because those rules and disclosures help ensure fair prices, reduce hidden risks and make it easier to compare investment choices.

webcast technical

"The live and archived webcast can also be accessed by visiting the Ocular"

A webcast is a live or recorded online event where people watch or listen to presentations, announcements, or performances through the internet. It’s like a TV broadcast but over the internet, allowing viewers from anywhere to tune in in real time or later. Webcasts are important because they let companies share information quickly and widely with audiences around the world.
