Monday, Ocugen, Inc.(OCGN) revealed that the FDA has approved the Company's Investigational New Drug or IND amendment to commence a Phase 3 clinical trial of OCU400.

Each arm will be randomized 2:1 to either the treatment group, receiving 2.5 x 10^10 vg/eye of OCU400 or the untreated control group.
