Ocular's DEXTENZA at Risk of Being Rejected by the FDA

A securities class action complaint has been filed against Ocular on behalf of all purchasers of Ocular securities between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017, for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by Ocular's officers and directors. According to the complaint, Ocular officials neglected to disclose the true extent of DEXTENZA manufacturing issues, including that 50% of the company's lots contain bad product, and that such issues could imperil the approval of DEXTENZA by the FDA. DEXTENZA could be rejected by the FDA because of product contamination, including aluminum, found by an FDA inspector during a visit to the company's manufacturing facility. According to the transcript from Ocular's earnings conference call on November 7, 2017, Ocular has yet to completely remediate this issue and has not yet resubmitted is New Drug Application with the FDA. Ocular's stock is currently trading at just $4.68, an almost all-time low.
