Outlook Therapeutics announced that President and CEO Russell Trenary will participate in the panel The Greatest Unmet Needs Facing Ophthalmology Today at the H.C. Wainwright Ophthalmology Virtual Conference on August 17, 2021.

ONS-5010 demonstrated a favorable safety profile, consistent with earlier trials. The company plans to submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA in the first quarter of 2022, aiming to offer an FDA-approved alternative to off-label bevacizumab injections widely used for retinal diseases.
