Outlook Therapeutics Reports Financial Results
for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 and Provides Corporate Update
LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) on track for planned first commercial launches in Germany and the United Kingdom (UK) in Q2 CY2025
Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of August 27, 2025 in the United States
ISELIN, N.J., May 15, 2025 - Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:
OTLK), a biopharmaceutical company focused on enhancing the standard of care for bevacizumab for the treatment of retina diseases, today
reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and provided a corporate update.
Therapeutics remains on track in 2025 to transform into a commercial-stage company with the planned upcoming commercial launch of LYTENAVA
(bevacizumab gamma) in Germany and the United Kingdom for the treatment of wet AMD. In addition to the commercial progress we are making
in Europe, in the U.S. we are positioned to potentially receive FDA approval later this year for ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg)
for the treatment of wet AMD, with a PDUFA decision date scheduled for August 27th. We continue to build momentum and
remain laser focused on our goal of providing patients, physicians and payers with a much needed, approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab,"
commented Lawrence Kenyon, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Outlook Therapeutics.
Anticipated Milestones
Initial commercial launches in Germany and the UK planned to commence in Q2 CY2025; and
Potential for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of ONS-5010 in Q3 CY2025.
LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) European Commercial Update
Outlook Therapeutics continues to advance its plans to launch LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) in Germany and the UK, expected to take
place in the second quarter of calendar year 2025. In May 2024, the European Commission granted Marketing Authorization for LYTENAVA
(bevacizumab gamma) for the treatment of wet AMD in the European Union (EU). Additionally, in July 2024, the UK Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) granted Marketing Authorization for LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) for the same indication in the
UK. In December 2024, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma)
as an option for the treatment of wet AMD.
LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) is the first
and only authorized ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in treating wet AMD in adults in the EU and UK. Currently, off-label
repackaged bevacizumab is one of the most frequently used first-line anti-VEGF treatments in Europe (approximately 2.8 million injections
annually) and the United States (approximately 2.7 million injections annually) for the treatment of retinal diseases1. ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
has the potential to mitigate certain risks associated with the current off-label use of repackaged bevacizumab.
Outlook Therapeutics may also seek authorization
in other European countries, Japan, and elsewhere. As previously announced, Outlook Therapeutics has entered into a strategic collaboration
with Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen) to support the commercial launch of LYTENAVA globally following regulatory approvals.
The collaboration and integrated approach are designed to support market access and efficient distribution of LYTENAVA to benefit
all stakeholders, including retina specialists, providers and patients in certain European markets and, if approved, in the United States.
ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg)
Clinical and Regulatory Update
In April 2025, Outlook Therapeutics announced
that the FDA acknowledged receipt of the resubmission of the Biologics License Application (BLA) for ONS-5010 (bevacizumab-vikg), an investigational
ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for the treatment of wet AMD. The FDA has determined that the BLA is a Class 2 review, which
results in a six-month review period from the date of resubmission. The FDA set a PDUFA goal date of August 27, 2025. ONS-5010, if
approved, will be branded as LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg) in the United States for the treatment of wet AMD and is expected to receive
12 years of regulatory exclusivity.
The ONS-5010 BLA resubmission was based on the
efficacy and safety demonstrated in NORSE EIGHT, as well as additional chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) information requested
by the FDA. As previously announced, following Type A meetings with the FDA in Q4 CY2023 to address the ONS-5010 Complete Response Letter
(CRL), the FDA informed Outlook Therapeutics that, in order to meet the FDA's requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled
clinical trial of ONS-5010, it could conduct a non-inferiority study evaluating ONS-5010 versus ranibizumab in a 12 week study of treatment
na ve patients with a primary efficacy endpoint at 8 weeks (NORSE EIGHT). Outlook Therapeutics believes that the complete data set
for NORSE EIGHT and the additional CMC information in the BLA resubmission, combined with the data from the other NORSE clinical trials,
provides the required evidence to support approval of the ONS-5010 BLA in the United States.

About ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg, bevacizumab
is an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab 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 MHRA
in the UK for the treatment of wet AMD.
In the United States, ONS-5010 / LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg) is investigational. In certain European Union Member States ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
must receive pricing and reimbursement approval before it can be sold.
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.
