ZUG, Switzerland, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oculis Holding AG (Nasdaq: OCS; XICE: OCS) (“Oculis” or the “Company”), a global biopharmaceutical company focused on innovations addressing neuro-ophthalmic and ophthalmic diseases with significant unmet medical needs, announced today that Oculis’ management will participate in a fireside chat at the 47^th Annual Goldman Sachs Global Healthcare Conference.  

The Company will provide an overview and update of its innovative current late-stage portfolio. Key highlights include: Privosegtor, a novel neuroprotective candidate which received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for optic neuritis (ON), in the PIONEER registrational program to address unmet needs for two optic neuropathies and to unlock a potential market opportunity of $7B+ in the U.S. alone, and Licaminlimab, a topical anti-TNFα being evaluated in the PREDICT-1 registrational trial as the first genotype-based precision medicine in dry eye disease (DED).

With a strong balance sheet and advanced pipeline, Oculis prepares to deliver several pivotal readouts with the current funding, focusing on fulfilling its mission to save sight and improve eye care with groundbreaking treatments.
