Company Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company working to launch the first ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab approved by the European Commission in the European Union, or EU, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, in the United Kingdom, or UK, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use in retinal indications. Our initial goal is to launch directly in the EU and UK, and, if approved, to launch directly in the United States as the first and only approved ophthalmic bevacizumab for the treatment of retina conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD. Our plans also include seeking approval and launching the product in Japan and other markets. On May 27, 2024, we received a marketing authorization from the European Commission for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD. The authorization is valid throughout the European Economic Area, or the EEA, and provides eight years of data exclusivity and 10 years of market exclusivity. On July 8, 2024, we also received marketing authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the UK, followed by a recommendation by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, or NICE, for LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab gamma), as an option for the treatment of wet AMD on December 4, 2024. Outside of the United States, we are currently moving ahead with our plans to launch directly in the initial markets of Germany and the UK in the second quarter of calendar 2025.

 

Bevacizumab is a full-length, humanized anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) recombinant monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that inhibits VEGF and associated angiogenic activity. In October 2022 we submitted a Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA. The MAA was submitted as a ‘full-mixed marketing authorization application’ based on Article 8.3 of Directive 2001/83/EC. On March 22, 2024, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP issued a positive opinion concerning the authorization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma), an investigational ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD, in the EU. In May 2024, the European Commission granted the Marketing Authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the EU. The decision applied automatically in all 27 EU Member States, and, within 30 days, also to Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Additionally, in April 2024, we submitted a MAA to the MHRA in the UK seeking approval of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) for the treatment of wet AMD. The submission was completed under the new International Recognition Procedure, or IRP, which allows the MHRA to rely on an authorization received for the same product from one of MHRA’s specified Reference Regulators, or RRs, when considering an application for marketing authorization in the UK. These RRs include a positive opinion by the EMA’s CHMP concerning an application for grant of marketing authorization for the same product in the EU. In July 2024, the MHRA granted marketing authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the UK. ONS-5010/LYTENAVA is the first and only authorized ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in treating wet AMD in the EU and UK.

Separately, in March 2022, we submitted a BLA with the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, an investigational ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, which we have developed to be administered as an intravitreal injection for the treatment of wet AMD and other retinal diseases. In May 2022, we voluntarily withdrew our BLA to provide additional information requested by the FDA. We re-submitted the BLA to the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA on August 30, 2022, and in October 2022, we received confirmation from the FDA that our BLA had been accepted for filing with a goal date of August 29, 2023 for a review decision by the FDA. On August 29, 2023, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, in which the FDA concluded it could not approve the BLA during this review cycle due to several chemical, manufacturing and control, or CMC, issues, open observations from pre-approval manufacturing inspections, and a lack of substantial evidence. At subsequent Type A meetings with the FDA, we learned that the FDA requires the completion of an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, as well as additional requested CMC data indicated in the CRL to approve ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for use in wet AMD.

 

We agreed to conduct an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial following discussions with the FDA in support of our BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. In December 2023, we submitted a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, to the FDA for this study (NORSE EIGHT) seeking confirmation that, if successful, it will address the FDA’s requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled clinical trial to support our planned resubmission of the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA BLA. In January 2024, we received confirmation that the FDA had reviewed and agreed upon the NORSE EIGHT trial protocol pursuant to the SPA. If the NORSE EIGHT trial is successful, it would satisfy the FDA’s requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled clinical trial to address fully the clinical deficiency identified in the CRL. In addition, through a Type A meeting and additional interactions with the FDA, we identified the approaches needed to resolve the CMC comments in the CRL. We believe that we have addressed the open CMC items and have concluded a series of Type C and Type D meetings with the FDA to help resolve these comments. In November 2024, we reported that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the SPA. However, the preliminary data from the trial demonstrated an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. Analysis of the complete week 12 data set for NORSE EIGHT has now been completed and provided additional evidence of improvement in vision and biological activity. We plan to resubmit the BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the first quarter of calendar 2025.

 

Our BLA and MAA submissions for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in wet AMD involved three clinical trials, which we refer to as NORSE ONE, NORSE TWO and NORSE THREE. The study design for our clinical program to evaluate ONS-5010/LYTENAVA as an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab was reviewed at an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in April 2018, and we filed our investigational new drug application, or IND, with the FDA in the first quarter of calendar 2019. In August 2020, we reported achieving the anticipated safety and efficacy proof-of-concept results from NORSE ONE, a clinical experience study. NORSE TWO was our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial comparing ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to ranibizumab (LUCENTIS). The topline results reported from NORSE TWO in August 2021 showed that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA met the primary and key secondary endpoints for efficacy with clinically impactful change observed for treated patients. In March 2021, we reported that the results from NORSE THREE showed a positive safety profile for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA.

 

As agreed to with the FDA in the SPA, NORSE EIGHT is a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, masked, non-inferiority study of approximately 400 newly diagnosed, wet AMD subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 1.25 mg ONS-5010/LYTENAVA or 0.5 mg ranibizumab intravitreal injections. Subjects received injections at Day 0 (randomization), Week 4, and Week 8 visits. The primary endpoint is the mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to week 8. In November 2024, we reported that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the SPA. The difference in the means between the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA and ranibizumab arms in the NORSE EIGHT trial was -2.257 BCVA letters with a 95% confidence interval of (-4.044, -0.470) while the lower bound of the pre-specified non-inferiority margin in the SPA was -3.5 at a 95% confidence interval; the hypothesis of noninferiority was not met (p>0.025). In the intent-to-treat, or ITT, primary dataset, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean +4.2 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA arm and +6.3 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm. However, the preliminary data from the trial demonstrated an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. In January 2025, we reported the complete week 12 data and safety results from NORSE EIGHT, which continued to demonstrate an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile. At week 12, the difference in the mean between ONS-5010/LYTENAVA and ranibizumab was -1.009 BCVA letters with a 95% confidence interval of (-2.865, 0.848) in the NORSE EIGHT trial. Applying the statistical parameters from the week 8 primary endpoint with the lower bound of the non-inferiority margin at -3.5 with a 95% confidence interval, the noninferiority margin was met at week 12, indicating that the two study arms are not different at this timepoint. In the ITT population, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean 5.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA arm and 6.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm. Additionally, the change in central retinal thickness, a measure of anatomical response, was similar in both study arms at all three study timepoints. The safety results demonstrated across the full duration of NORSE EIGHT are consistent with previously reported safety results from the NORSE ONE, NORSE TWO, and NORSE THREE clinical trials, with no cases of retinal vasculitis reported in either study arm. We plan to resubmit the BLA application for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the first quarter of calendar 2025. If approved, we expect to receive 12 years of regulatory exclusivity in the United States.

Previously, in November 2021, we began enrolling patients in our NORSE SEVEN clinical trial. The study compares the safety of ophthalmic bevacizumab in vials versus pre-filled syringes in subjects diagnosed with a retinal condition that would benefit from treatment with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab, including exudative age-related macular degeneration, DME, or BRVO. Subjects will be treated for three months, and the enrollment of subjects in the arm of the study receiving ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in vials has been completed.

 

We have also received agreement from the FDA on three SPAs for three additional registration clinical trials for our ongoing Phase 3 program for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. The agreements reached with the FDA on these SPAs cover the protocols for NORSE FOUR, a registration clinical trial evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to treat BRVO, and NORSE FIVE and NORSE SIX, two registration clinical trials evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to treat DME. The timing for initiating these studies has not been determined pending initial FDA approval for wet AMD.

 

Because there are no approved bevacizumab products for the treatment of retinal diseases in the United States and other major markets, we submitted a standard BLA and are not using the biosimilar drug regulatory pathway that would be required if Avastin were an approved drug for the targeted diseases. If approved in the United States, we believe ONS-5010/LYTENAVA has potential to mitigate risks associated with off-label use of unapproved bevacizumab. In the United States, 66.3% of retina physicians state off-label repackaged bevacizumab is their most commonly used first-line anti-VEGF (ASRS 2022 Membership Survey Presented at ASRS NY 2022).

 

The Warrant Inducement Transaction

 

On January 16, 2025, we entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letter agreements, or the Inducement Letters, with certain holders, or the Holders, of existing warrants to purchase our common stock, exercisable for an aggregate of 7,074,637 shares of common stock, or the Existing Warrants, pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise in a warrant inducement transaction, or the Warrant Inducement Transaction, their Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $2.51 per share, or the Reduced Exercise Price, in exchange for our agreement to issue new warrants to purchase common stock, or the Inducement Warrants.

 

The closing of the Warrant Inducement Transaction, or the Closing, occurred on January 17, 2025, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Inducement Letters.

 

In accordance with the Inducement Letters and in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash at the Reduced Exercise Price, the Holders received two Inducement Warrants for each Existing Warrant exercised. The Inducement Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 14,149,274 shares of common stock, or the Inducement Warrant Shares, at an exercise price of $2.26 per share. Half of the Inducement Warrants representing warrants to purchase up to 7,047,637 shares of common stock, or the Tranche A Warrants, were immediately exercisable and expire on January 17, 2030. The remaining Inducement Warrants, or the Tranche B Warrants, will be exercisable upon the effective date of an amendment, or the Share Increase Amendment Effective Date, to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or Charter, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable thereunder, or the Share Increase Amendment, by at least the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Tranche B Warrants, without regard to any exercise limits set forth therein and the effect of potential future adjustments to exercise price. The Share Increase Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The Tranche B Warrants will expire five years from the Share Increase Amendment Effective Date.

 

The Inducement Warrants will only be exercisable for cash, except in limited circumstances. A Holder may not exercise the Inducement Warrants if the Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage of the outstanding common stock (4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99%, as applicable), immediately after giving effect to such exercise, which may be increased or decreased at the Holders’ option (not to exceed 19.99%), effective 61 days after written notice to us.

At the Closing, we received gross proceeds of $17.8 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants, and may receive up to an additional $32 million of gross proceeds upon cash exercise of the Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants, in each case before deducting capital markets advisory fees and offering expenses.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from the Warrant Inducement Transaction to fund our ONS-5010 clinical development programs, European commercial launch of LYTENAVATM and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Existing investors and entities affiliated with certain directors of the Company are party to an Inducement Letter. GMS Ventures & Investments, affiliated with Yezan Haddadin and Faisal G. Sukhtian, directors of the Company, exercised an aggregate of 3,458,571 Existing Warrants for an aggregate Reduced Exercise Price of approximately $8.7 million in exchange for Inducement Warrants to purchase 6,917,142 shares of common stock.

 

In connection with the Warrant Inducement Transaction, we agreed to prepare and file, within 45 days following the date of the Inducement Letters, a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Tranche A Warrants held by the selling stockholders.

 

For more information regarding the Warrant Inducement Transaction, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 16, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares held by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Upon any exercise of the Tranche A Warrants for cash, the applicable selling stockholder would pay us the exercise price set forth in the Tranche A Warrants.

 

Each Tranche A Warrant has an exercise price equal to $2.26 per share, and if all 7,074,637 Tranche A Warrants are exercised on a cash basis, we will receive proceeds of approximately $16 million. We expect to use any such proceeds primarily to fund our ONS-5010 clinical development programs, European commercial launch of LYTENAVATM and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Tranche A Warrants are exercisable beginning on January 17, 2025 and expire on January 17, 2030.

 

The Tranche A Warrants are only exercisable for cash, except where there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of, the shares issuable upon exercise of Tranche A Warrants, in which case the Tranche A Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. If any of the Tranche A Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from the applicable selling stockholder upon any such exercise.

 

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, the selling stockholders will bear their own broker or similar commissions payable with respect to sales of shares of our common stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants issued in the Warrant Inducement Transaction. For additional information regarding the issuance of Tranche A Warrants, see the section “Prospectus Summary—Warrant Inducement Transaction” above. We are registering the resale of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Tranche A Warrants and for the selling stockholders whose other relationships are provided in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. This information has been obtained from the selling stockholders or in Schedules 13G or 13D and other public documents filed with the SEC. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder based on its ownership of Tranche A Warrants, as of January 24, 2025, assuming exercise of the Tranche A Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises, unless otherwise indicated. The Tranche A Warrants are exercisable only for cash, except in limited circumstances, at any time and expire on January 17, 2030. The percentage of shares owned prior to and after the offering in the third and sixth columns are based on 32,017,179 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 24, 2025. The percentage of shares owned prior to the offering in the third column assumes the exercise of the Tranche A Warrants by each selling stockholder in computing such stockholder’s percentage ownership, but not for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Inducement Letters, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants issued in the Warrant Inducement Transaction. This maximum amount is determined as if the outstanding Tranche A Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. Under the terms of the Tranche A Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the Tranche A Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99%, as applicable to each holder, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding following such exercise (for purposes of the denominator, immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock to be issued upon the applicable exercise of such Tranche A Warrant). The number of shares in the second and fifth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See the section “Plan of Distribution.”

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

 

As discussed in greater detail above under the section “Prospectus Summary—Warrant Inducement Transaction,” on January 16, 2025, we entered into Inducement Letters with the selling stockholders pursuant to which, on January 17, 2025, we sold Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the selling stockholders and agreed to file a registration statement to enable the resale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. In the Warrant Inducement Transaction, GMS Ventures & Investments, affiliated with Yezan Haddadin and Faisal G. Sukhtian, directors of the Company, exercised an aggregate of 3,458,571 Existing Warrants for an aggregate Reduced Exercise Price of approximately $8.7 million in exchange for Inducement Warrants to purchase 6,917,142 shares of common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their respective Securities covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Securities:

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

·privately negotiated transactions;

 

·in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such Securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

·through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

·a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

A selling stockholder may also sell Securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by a selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

 

A selling stockholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

A selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Securities.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Securities. We have agreed to indemnify any selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

11

 

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the Securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The Securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by a selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to a selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
