About Oxular Limited

“One treatment a year. Life changing.”

Oxular is developing technology to transform the treatment of retinal disease, offering patients life-changing solutions to their unmet needs. Oxular’s sustained-release formulations are engineered to last up to one year following single administration and perform in specific small spaces in the eye. This approach provides unique and precise drug distribution to tissues specifically involved in retinal diseases. Oxular’s drug administration technology is engineered to access these critical tissues through minimally-invasive delivery. This novel combination aims to substantially improve patient quality of life by increasing therapeutic effectiveness and patient safety, while reducing side-effects and minimizing the frequency of treatments. Oxular’s product development pipeline includes treatments for prevalent retinal diseases, such as diabetic macular edema and age-related macular degeneration, as well as rare and orphan indications, including treatments for ocular cancers.
