Ocular Therapeutix closes $23.8M Series D extension

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 10:39 AM

Ocular Therapeutix, a privately held company based in Bedford, Mass.,recently closed a Series D extension round of financing totaling $23.8 million.

After considering offers from several new investors, the decision was made to accommodate the strong existing investor interest by extending the prior round of financing. All existing institutional investors, including Polaris Ventures, Versant Ventures, SV Life Sciences, Sparta and Ascension Health Ventures participated at or above their pro-rata level in the current financing.

Ocular Therapeutix will use the funds to further advance development activities and implementation of clinical trials for its sustained release drug programs, including travoprost for the treatment of glaucoma, and dexamethasone for the resolution of post-operative inflammation and pain. The funds will also be used to support U.S. commercial launch efforts and to develop sustained release therapies for retinal diseases in collaboration with pharma partners.
