BCVA measures how well a person can see after wearing corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses.
In the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean 5.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010 arm and 6.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm.
As previously announced, in the NORSE EIGHT trial, ONS-5010 did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 outlined in the special protocol assessment (SPA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
However, BCVA data across all study timepoints demonstrated an improvement in vision, increasing over time, and the presence of biologic activity.
Overall, in NORSE EIGHT, ONS-5010 demonstrated mean visual acuity improvements of +3.3 letters at week 4, +4.2 letters at week 8, and +5.5 letters at week 12.
ONS-5010 was generally well-tolerated with overall ocular adverse event rates comparable to ranibizumab.
ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) has been approved in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Outlook Therapeutics intends to begin launching in Europe in the first half of calendar 2025.
The company also entered into agreements for warrant inducement transactions expected to result in up to $20.4 million in gross proceeds.
The company will use the proceeds to fund its ONS-5010 clinical development programs, the European commercial launch of LYTENAVA, and working capital and general corporate purposes.
