June 17th, 2025, I had the pleasure to attend FDA commissioner hosted CEO Forums in Boston during 2025 BIO Convention, along with ~120 CEOs and executive leaders from Massachussetts and the NE region. My big takehome message from the new administration is FDA's Priorities at big data frontier, FDA encourages biotech Pharma to leverage big data real world evidence for regulatory submission, which helps to reduce costs and accelerate medicine innovation, focusing on curative (doi: 10.1001/jama.2025.10116). At the forum, I had a chance to share my views about the need for increasing the bar for drug efficacy scruitiny at early stage clinical development. Traditionally, as long as a drug is safe, FDA gives a green light. This has to change with increased big data and AI tools. We are very appreciative of this informative and direct dialogues with Dr. Marty A. Makary, M.D., M.P.H and sharing our concerns, feedback and suggestions. OTI's big data strategy is aligned with FDA's real word evidence policy, OTI is a pioneer in leveraging big data to solve the biggest problems - 90% failure in medicine development.

As OTI is re-introducing Trabodenoson/OTI-2024 as the first in class and first curative therapy for treating refractory glaucoma and glauocmateous neural degeneration, we are honored to have onboarded four world- class scientific medical advisors to help enducate the scientific patient community of MMP based therapeutic platform, featuring OTI-2024 derived MMP therapy, as the first in class and best in class adenosine derived MMP therapy, it is the best in this new therapeutic domain (better than Durysta (One time), iDose (one time) and SLT laser.
Dr. James Tsai noted: "Our strategy is to market Trabodenoson not as an IOP lowering drug but as a MMP therapeutic agent with long-term TM benefits with modulation of any IOP fluctuations and less need for consistent adherence to medication use"
