(Nasdaq: OTLK), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company working to develop the first FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab-vikg for use in retinal indications, today announced that the last patient completed their final visit for the ongoing open-label safety study evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab-vikg) to treat retinal diseases (NORSE THREE). Two of the three planned clinical trials for the ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA™ wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) U.S. Biologics License Application (BLA) are now completed. The open-label safety study enrolled 197 subjects, in only 4 weeks, with a range of retinal diseases for which an anti-VEGF drug is a therapeutic option, including wet AMD, diabetic macular edema (DME) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Following the data readout from both the open-label safety study and the pivotal safety and efficacy study, Outlook Therapeutics plans to submit a new BLA filing to the FDA under the PHSA 351(a) regulatory pathway. If the BLA is approved, it will result in 12 years of marketing exclusivity for ONS-5010. Commercial launch planning has begun, including distribution, physician and patient outreach, key opinion leader support and payor communi...
