Oculis announces publication of Phase 2 data showing topical eye drops anti-TNFa agent licaminlimab (OCS-02) relieves persistent ocular discomfort in severe dry eye disease ACN Newswire

Oculis announces publication of Phase 2 data showing topical eye drops anti-TNFa agent licaminlimab (OCS-02) relieves persistent ocular discomfort in severe dry eye disease

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Aug 23, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Oculis S.A., ('Oculis') a global ophthalmology company developing life-changing treatments to save sight and improve eye care with breakthrough innovations, announces that the results of the double blinded, multicenter and placebo controlled Phase 2 clinical trial assessing the effect of topical licaminlimab (OCS-02) on global ocular discomfort in patients with severe dry eye disease (DED) (NCT02365519) has been published by the Clinical Ophthalmology journal. The publication is accessible on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website here. ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35821785/ )The results from the study show that the change from baseline to Day 29 in the global ocular discomfort score, the primary efficacy endpoint, was statistically significantly greater for topical ocular licaminlimab (OCS-02) (-7.9) than for vehicle (-3.6) (90% CI -7.7, -0.8; p = 0.041). The percentage of patients with an improvement in global ocular discomfort score >20 from baseline to treatment day 29, one of the main secondary efficacy endpoints, was statistically greater for licaminlimab (17.9%) compared to vehicle (4.7%) (p=0.018).Licaminlimab (OCS-02) was well tolerated in this study, with no major safety differences between licaminlimab (OCS-02) and vehicle treatment groups, and no increase in intra-ocular pressure was observed. Licaminlimab (OCS-02) is a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) that binds to and neutralizes the activity of human TNFa, with dual mechanism of action (MoA), anti-inflammation and anti-necrosis. Unlike full-length monoclonal antibodies, scFv fragments can penetrate ocular surface tissues when used as eye drops, due to the smaller size of the molecule giving it the potential to become the first approved topical biologic for DED. Dry Eye is a multifactorial disease in which inflammation rapidly takes on a central role in sustaining the pathological state(1). The global prevalence of DED has been reported at 11.59%(2) , representing approximately 900 million people worldwide. In the US alone, there is currently between 16 million and 49 million people who have dry eye disease(3) . Significant unmet medical needs remain for this large and growing patient population with only 9% of diagnosed patients in the US receiving treatment(4) and despite current options, only 13% of patients are achieving lasting relief(5) .Licaminlimab (OCS-02) is currently being investigated by Oculis in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of dry eye disease and uveitis.Pr Christophe Baudouin, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology and Chairman of Ophthalmology III in Quinze-vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, Paris, commented: "There is a true unmet medical need for the development of drugs with new MOA to treat the inflammation involved in the pathogenesis of DED. OCS-02 is certainly one that could fill that gap. As compared to currently available treatment options and other product candidates in the DED pipeline, OCS-02 could play a role in the treatment of the underlying causes of the disease given its anti-inflammatory and anti-necrosis benefits. I certainly look forward to the continued development and approval of OCS-02 in severe dry eye disease as these patients currently have limited treatment options."Riad Sherif, M.D., CEO of Oculis, said: "The Phase 2 data further reinforce our confidence in the potential of OCS-02 as a novel anti-inflammatory treatment for the effective management of Dry Eye Disease, but also for other inflammatory eye diseases. With Phase 2b clinical trials of OCS-02 for the treatment of dry eye disease and uveitis which are planned to start in the coming months, along with on-going Phase 3 clinical trials of OCS-01 in diabetic macular edema and inflammation and pain following ocular surgery and a proof-of-concept (POC) trial of OCS-05 in acute optic neuritis, we look forward with confidence to the further development of the Oculis Ophthalmology Franchise to address significant unmet medical needs in key areas of ophthalmology."About OculisOculis is a global biopharmaceutical company purposefully driven to save sight, improve eye care and address significant unmet medical needs with breakthrough innovations. Oculis's highly differentiated pipeline includescandidates for topical retinal treatments, topical biologics and disease modifying treatments.

This is in line with our target that Pertamina must become a global energy champion company and have a valuation of US$100 billion," he remarked.Thohir further expressed optimism that Pertamina's achievements would inspire other SOEs to perform better.He also expressed confidence that other Indonesian SOEs can take a cue from Pertamina by optimally implementing necessary transformation, core values, and improvement."The better the performance of Indonesian SOEs, more significant will be the impact on the community, let alone until being recognized at the global level. Positive performance will certainly provide a large space for SOEs to contribute more in increasing national economic growth, maintaining market balance, as well as populist economic programs," Thohir remarked.In line with the SOE minister's remarks, Pertamina CEO Nicke Widyawati said the company's efforts to boost competitiveness were unhindered by the pandemic, and even in the midst of severe challenges, Pertamina's financial performance soared sharply in 2021.According to Widyawati, Pertamina's performance has helped it climb the rankings in the Fortune Global 500 list in 2022."Pertamina has succeeded in increasing the company's revenue and net profit twice as compared to the previous year. This is an extraordinary achievement in the midst of global challenges and a pandemic that has not ended," she affirmed.She noted that Pertamina ranked fifth on the Fortune Global list for the Southeast Asian region. Moreover, in Asia, Pertamina was ranked 105th out of the 227 companies."Pertamina is also ranked 12th out of the 24 companies led by female CEOs and the only company in the Petroleum Refining category led by a female CEO," she pointed out.Apart from making it to the 2022 Fortune Global 500 list, in September 2021, Pertamina also received an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Risk Rating of 28.1 or was assessed to be at Medium risk.Such a global assessment has placed Pertamina in the 15th rank out of 252 oil and gas companies around the world, and at the 8th rank in the integrated oil and gas sub-industry."This is global acknowledgment of Pertamina's commitment and efforts to lead energy transition and decarbonization to support Indonesia's target of net zero emissions in 2060 as well as the achievement of the potential of renewable resources in Indonesia in the context of sustainable growth," Widyawati explained.In 2021, Pertamina successfully completed its business transformation by establishing six oil and gas subholdings: Upstream Subholding, Refining and Petrochemical Subholding, Commercial and Trading Subholding, Gas Subholding, Integrated Marine Logistics Subholding, and New and Renewable Energy Subholding.Widyawati emphasized that transformation is a strategic step to adapt to future business changes. Hence, the company should move ahead in a more agile and swifter manner as well as focus on broader and aggressive business development."The transformation will continue to encourage Pertamina to become a world-class energy company. With the support of all stakeholders, Pertamina will fulfill the aspirations of shareholders to realize the target of ranking among the 100 world-leading companies," she affirmed.In 2021, Pertamina had clocked a revenue of US$57.51 billion, an increase as compared to its revenue of US$41.47 billion in 2020.Pertamina's net profit in 2021 had reached US$2.045 billion, which is almost twice as high as the 2020 net profit of US$1.05 billion.

Fujitsu global survey demonstrates how ‘digital first’ approach helps to accelerate sustainability transformation

TOKYO, Jun 28, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu today released its "Fujitsu Future Insights Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report 2022," highlighting the results of a survey of 1,800 business executives and decision makers in 9 countries conducted by Forrester Consulting with the aim of understanding global trends and current conditions in sustainability transformation(1)(SX). Figure 1. Stage of progress in SX initiatives: breakdown by share of companiesFigure 2. Graph of four elementsFigure 3. Graph of DX contribution in SXThis sixth survey investigated the current status of SX and how digital transformation (DX) contributes to the changes required to improve society's sustainability. Fujitsu will draw on the insights and knowledge gained from this survey to work with its customers to resolve issues towards the realization of a sustainable future for business and society.Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report 2022Sustainability: a growing management challenge for business leaders globallySustainability that takes into account environmental, societal, and economic impacts represents an urgent priority for individuals, companies, and governments around the world. Companies, in particular, need to prioritize sustainability not only with regard to the differentiation of their business, but also for the survival of the company. To this end, Fujitsu commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a survey to clarify the actual state of range of companies' SX initiatives, and will now issue the results in the Fujitsu Future Insights Global Sustainability Transformation Survey Report.Key findings:1. Sustainability as a management priority41% of respondents place sustainability among the top three management priorities, which demonstrates that the importance of sustainability has risen sharply in business strategy and decision-making over the past two years. The main reasons for this trend were rising awareness of sustainability among the younger generation (54%), government regulations and guidelines, and requests from consumer groups (49%).2. Only 5% of companies are SX leadersThe survey revealed that 21% of the companies have already delivered results from SX initiatives. However, only 5% of the leaders have developed a vision for SX initiatives and a company-wide SX strategy and achieved significant results through comprehensive measures. In contrast, 54% of the respondents responded that they were unable to develop or implement a corporate sustainability strategy.3. Digital-first approach as key to SXThe survey showed that SX leaders have a high degree of maturity in four elements: purpose-driven, human-centric, data-driven, and connected, suggesting that these four elements may be important success factors for achieving success in sustainability initiatives. In addition, 67% of the respondents agreed that DX would contribute to the success of SX, and the survey results also revealed a strong correlation between SX maturity and DX maturity. This demonstrates that a digital-first approach is a critical factor in promoting SX.4. SX: Challenges and ways to solve themIn the survey, 38% of respondents cited a lack of executive alignment in sustainability vision and implementation, and 35% internal resistance and skepticism about sustainability initiatives as key issues in implementing sustainability initiatives. The survey further demonstrated that improving both the financial value including sales and profits and the non-financial value including creation of environmental and social value represent a major challenge. CEOs can address this issue by providing purpose-driven leadership, developing plans that include financial and non-financial goals, and leveraging digital technology with technology partners.Fujitsu is promoting management and business operations based on its new global business brand, Fujitsu Uvance, which aims to contribute to the achievement of Fujitsu's purpose: "to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation."The findings of this survey will help Fujitsu to continue to serve as customers' SX partner, simultaneously helping customers to succeed in business and to provide value to society.Survey overview1.
