2. Positive safety profile with no ocular or treatment-related serious adverse events
3. 67% of CLS-AX participants not requiring additional treatment up to 6 months

CLS-AX, delivered via Clearside's proprietary SCS Microinjector®, showed potential for flexible maintenance dosing between 3 to 6 months. The company plans to advance the program into Phase 3 development based on these encouraging results.
