Ocular Therapeutix reports $11.5 million net loss in third quarter
Ocular Therapeutix reported a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.47 per share, in the third quarter compared with a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.48, per share in the same quarter of 2014, according to a press release.
Product sales from ReSure sealant and other collaborations with corporate partners generated a revenue of $0.43 million in the third quarter. Approximately $0.14 million in revenue was recorded a year ago.
Operating expenses were reported at $11.6 million in the third quarter compared with $6.9 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily attributed to personnel costs and clinical trials of Dextenza (sustained-release dexamethasone 0.4 mg) and OTX-TP (sustained-release travoprost ), as well as preclinical development of anti-VEGF and tyrosine kinase inhibitor programs for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration and other back of the eye diseases, the release said.
