OTLK Stock Rocket Nearly 140%: FDA's Lytenava Approval Pushes Stock On Track For Best Week On Record

• The FDA on Tuesday granted approval to its eye disease drug Lytenava. 
• The treatment has already been approved in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
• Four analysts have a 12-month price target of $4.17, marking nearly 450% increase based on Wednesday’s closing price.

Outlook Therapeutics (OTLK) share price soared 140% on Thursday and was on-track for its best week since listing, as investors continued to cheer the FDA’s approval for its eye disease drug Lytenava. 

Outlook Therapeutics on Tuesday had said the FDA granted its appeal following a Formal Dispute Resolution (FDR) process related to its eye disease drug Lytenava. The FDA concluded that the company had provided sufficient evidence supporting the treatment’s effectiveness for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, also known as wet AMD.

Following the decision, Outlook Therapeutics said it plans to resubmit its Biologics License Application (BLA) for the treatment in June 2026. The company expects the filing to receive a Class 1 review, with a regulatory decision possible within 60 days after resubmission.

The company held an FDR meeting in April to discuss the regulatory pathway for its eye disease treatment. The meeting followed an FDA Type A meeting regarding the Complete Response Letter issued for the drug’s application for wet AMD.
