Press Release

ISELIN, N.J., June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: OTLK), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab-vikg, bevacizumab gamma) for the treatment of retinal diseases, today announced the resubmission of its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

As previously announced, Outlook Therapeutics successfully appealed the December 2025 Complete Response Letter (CRL) related to the ONS-5010 Biologics License Application reviewed by the FDA. In their decision, the FDA Office of New Drugs concluded that substantial evidence of effectiveness has been established for LYTENAVA™ for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), therefore additional trials are not required.

The FDR decision directed the Division of Ophthalmology and Office of Specialty Medicine to work with Outlook Therapeutics to focus on reaching an agreement on final product labeling. Additionally, as indicated in the formal decision, this will be a Class 1 resubmission with a PDUFA date and decision expected within 60 days of FDA’s receipt of the resubmission.

Dr. Baruch Kuppermann, Steinert Endowed Professor, Chair, Dept of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Director, Gavin Herbert Eye Institute University of California, Irvine, stated, “ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ has the potential to offer clinicians and patients an important additional option for treating wet AMD. If approved as the first on-label ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, ONS-5010 will enable patients to benefit from wider access and provide an attractive alternative for anti-VEGF treatment of wet AMD.”

“We are incredibly pleased to reach this important milestone. This resubmission represents the strength of our application and the tremendous dedication of our entire organization,” said Bob Jahr, Chief Executive Officer of Outlook Therapeutics. “Our team worked through an extensive and rigorous review and appeal process, maintaining close collaboration with the FDA. We are encouraged with the Class 1 review designation. We remain committed to bringing ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ to patients who deserve FDA-approved options for the treatment of nAMD.”  

When approved, ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ will be the first and only FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab supported by standardized manufacturing, FDA-approved labeling, and robust pharmacovigilance.

About ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab-vikg, bevacizumab gamma)

ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ is an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab produced in the United States for the treatment of wet AMD. LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab gamma) is the subject of a centralized Marketing Authorization granted by the European Commission in the EU and Marketing Authorization granted by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK for the treatment of wet AMD. In certain European Union Member States, ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ must receive pricing and reimbursement approval before it can be sold.

In the United States, ONS-5010/LYTENAVA ™ (bevacizumab-vikg) is investigational. When approved, it will be the first ophthalmic formulation approved by the FDA.

Bevacizumab-vikg (bevacizumab gamma in the EU and UK) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) that selectively binds with high affinity to all isoforms of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and neutralizes VEGF’s biologic activity through a steric blocking of the binding of VEGF to its receptors Flt-1 (VEGFR-1) and KDR (VEGFR-2) on the surface of endothelial cells. Following intravitreal injection, the binding of bevacizumab to VEGF prevents the interaction of VEGF with its receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, reducing endothelial cell proliferation, vascular leakage, and new blood vessel formation in the retina.
