Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. - OTLK STOCK NEWS

Outlook Therapeutics (Nasdaq: OTLK) announced that its CEO, Lawrence A. Kenyon, will participate in a virtual panel on February 19, 2021, hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald. The panel, titled “Eyeing Key Events and Programs in the Ophthalmology Space in 2021,” aims to discuss market opportunities and upcoming milestones in the ophthalmology sector. Outlook Therapeutics focuses on developing ONS-5010 (bevacizumab-vikg), potentially the first FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation for retinal diseases like wet AMD.

Outlook Therapeutics reported promising developments in its ophthalmic formulation, ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA™, targeting wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The Phase 3 study (NORSE TWO) is set to deliver safety and efficacy data in Q3 2021, while the open-label study (NORSE THREE) aims to report findings in Q2 2021. Recent funding of $42.6 million bolsters the company's financial position, enabling progress toward a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission planned for late 2021. The company recorded a reduced net loss of $14.5 million for Q1 FY2021, reflecting improved financial health.

Outlook Therapeutics announced the completion of the final patient visit for the NORSE THREE open-label safety study of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab-vikg), a treatment for retinal diseases. The study, which enrolled 197 subjects over four weeks, is crucial for the planned Biologics License Application (BLA) submission to the FDA in Q4 2021. With two of three necessary clinical trials completed, Outlook anticipates significant market adoption of ONS-5010 if approved, and has begun commercial launch preparations. The company is also moving forward with agreements for additional trials under Special Protocol Assessments.

Outlook Therapeutics has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $41.6 million through a successful public offering and a concurrent private placement. The funding is aimed at supporting the Biologics License Application (BLA) filing for ONS-5010, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, intended for treating wet AMD and other retinal diseases. The company anticipates filing the BLA by the end of 2021, bolstered by completed clinical trials and a robust commercialization strategy.
