• Through its extensive reach and access to the vast majority of anti-VEGF providers, AmerisourceBergen is the leading specialty pharma distributor.
• Outlook Therapeutics’ commercial reach should be significantly enhanced as a result of this.
• As part of OTLK’s pre-commercial launch preparations, AmerisourceBergen will assist them in maximizing commercial success and increasing patient access, and pending FDA approval will leverage its portfolio of commercialization solutions.
• In order to meet the specific needs and objectives of its partners, AmerisourceBergen provides support across the entire product lifecycle.

In what ways will the collaboration benefit OTLK?

Outlook Therapeutics (OTLK) expects to significantly increase market access and efficient distribution of ONS-5010 if the FDA approves the agreement with AmerisourceBergen. In addition, AmerisourceBergen’s partnership will allow OTLK to deliver high-quality customer service to retina specialists more quickly. The launch of ONS-5010 in international markets will be supported by a relationship between Outlook Therapeutics and AmerisourceBergen. The acquisition of Alliance Healthcare, one of the leading wholesalers of healthcare products in Europe, by AmerisourceBergen in 2021 expanded the company’s global distribution capabilities.
