Outlook Therapeutics announced the FDA issued it with a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for its BLA for ONS-5010, biosimilar to Genentech’s Avastin® (bevacizumab). The FDA acknowledged the NORSE TWO pivotal trial met its safety and efficacy endpoints, but could not approve the BLA due to several chemistry, manufacturing and controls issues, as well as open observations from pre-approval manufacturing inspections and a lack of substantial evidence.
On 28 October 2022, the FDA accepted Outlook Therapeutics’ BLA for ONS-5010 for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration. The FDA has set a PDUFA goal date of 29 August 2023.
