业务与运营表现
LYTENAVA 进军的美国抗 VEGF 眼底病市场规模,据管理层估计每年约为 85 亿美元。公司提到,2025 年用于各类眼底适应症的标外分装贝伐珠单抗注射量约为 360 万针,其中约 220 万针用于治疗湿性 AMD。
管理层的商业逻辑建立在为眼科专家提供一种已被广泛使用的分子的 FDA 批准眼科专用制剂之上。在 NORSE TWO 注册临床试验中,接受 LYTENAVA 治疗的患者中有 41.7% 在第 11 个月时视力提升了至少 15 个字母,而接受雷珠单抗治疗的患者这一比例为 23.1%。
Outlook Therapeutics 具备充足的供应以支持 2026 年晚些时候的上市计划。公司打算招聘约 30 名面向客户的商业化员工和约 20 名一线医保报销人员。该战略强调报销、编码、产品采购和患者获取,因为 LYTENAVA 将采用医生施药的“先买后办”模式运行。
在欧洲,LYTENAVA 已在德国、奥地利和英国上市。在视国家医保报销进展的前提下,公司预计将于 2027 年初在荷兰上市;同时合作伙伴 Mediconsult 预计将于 2027 年在瑞士推出该产品。
管理层业绩指引
管理层预计在美国上市后的前 12 个月内,总净营收将达到 5000 万至 7500 万美元。预计欧洲市场将占该金额的 10% 至 15% 左右。
上市后的放量过程预计将是循序渐进的。预计前三个月将贡献第一年净营收的约 10%,而上市后的第四个季度预计将贡献约 50%。管理层将 2027 日历年下半年的预期放量加速,与预计在 2027 年 4 月获得永久 J 码挂钩。
到 2026 日历年底,单季度 SG&A 费用预计将从现有水平翻倍,随后在 2027 日历年期间再增长约 10%。随着公司推进预充式注射器项目,研发费用预计在未来 12 个月内保持相对稳定。
公司在基准情景下的目标是到 2030 年在美国实现超过 5 亿美元的年销售额峰值。管理层表示,要实现这一目标,需要在每年约 220 万针用于治疗湿性 AMD 的分装贝伐珠单抗注射量中占据略高于 30% 至 35% 的份额。
风险与关注领域
- 产品的采纳取决于支付方覆盖范围、报销、编码、可靠供应以及眼科诊所管理“先买后办”经济模式的能力。
- 永久 J 码预计要到 2027 年 4 月才能获得,管理层认为这将影响产品的采纳放量速度。
- 竞争对手包括配制贝伐珠单抗、雷珠单抗及阿柏西普生物类似药、品牌抗 VEGF 产品,以及潜在的未来疗法(如 TKI、IL-6 疗法和基因疗法)。
- 患者的自付费用可能会影响采纳,特别是对于没有补充医疗保险的 Medicare 患者。管理层还承认,来自 Good Days 基金会的支持力度较此前有所下降。
- 欧洲市场的拓展面临定价压力、招标动态、各国的具体报销流程以及监管障碍,特别是在德国针对配制产品的监管。
分析师问答亮点
管理层指出,略低于 800 名眼科医生(约占其目标总数的三分之一)为潜在的早期采纳者。这一群体代表了公司预计的 5 亿美元美国市场机会中略少于一半的份额,其中包括目前高度依赖配制贝伐珠单抗的诊所。
若配制或分装贝伐珠单抗的供应受到实质性干扰,管理层估计到 2030 年的销售机会可能带来略低于 3 亿美元的额外增量。然而,公司警告称,被释放的需求也可能转向生物类似药,而非完全转移至 LYTENAVA。
5 亿美元的基准情景假设配制贝伐珠单抗持续可用、生物类似药按计划进入市场且定价压力持续存在。它还假设其他竞争性疗法类别按时研发,且分装贝伐珠单抗供应不受干扰。
对于欧洲,管理层指出,到 2030 年的市场机会可能不足美国销售峰值目标的四分之一。管理层预计,在计划中的预充式注射器于 2028 年底或 2029 年初上市后,欧洲市场的广泛潜力将有所提升,同时继续预计美国将占总体净营收机会的至少 90%。

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. We are entering a defining new chapter for Outlook Therapeutics. Only 3 weeks ago, the FDA approved LYTENAVA as the only FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for the treatment of wet AMD in the United States. Securing FDA approval is a transformational achievement for Outlook Therapeutics and an important development for the U.S. retina community. It significantly expands the commercial opportunity before us and positions the company to bring LYTENAVA to the world's largest retina market.
For over 20 years, bevacizumab has played a central role in the treatment of retinal disease. Retina specialists know the molecule, have extensive experience using it and continue to rely on the repackaged off-label bevacizumab across millions of injections annually. Until now, however, physicians in the United States did not have access to ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab that adheres with the FDA standards from manufacturing to the practice and developed specifically for administration in the eye. We are now changing that with the approval of LYTENAVA. We are not introducing an unfamiliar molecule or asking physicians to rethink the important role beva plays in retina care. We are providing an improved version of a treatment they have relied upon for years.
Reaching this point required tremendous persistence and an extraordinary amount of work across our organization. The path to approval was not a straight line. We faced many challenges along the way. Each time our team responded, completed the necessary work and remained focused on our goal. This achievement belongs to everyone who helped to make it possible. I want to begin by thanking our employees. Many have dedicated years to this program and continued moving it forward through periods of uncertainty. Their expertise, resilience and commitment to the retina community are the reasons we are here today.
I also want to thank the clinical investigators, retina physicians, study coordinators and clinical sites that participated in our development programs. Their expertise and partnership were essential throughout this journey. And a thank you to the retina community for their support and guidance as we navigated the regulatory process. Most importantly, I want to thank the patients who participated in our clinical trials, along with their families and caregivers. Clinical research cannot advance without people willing to participate, and their contributions made the approval of LYTENAVA possible.
We should take a moment to recognize what has been accomplished. Securing FDA approval for a new biologic is an exceptional achievement, and everyone associated with Outlook Therapeutics should be proud of the role they play. At the same time, we should recognize that this is only the beginning of us of realizing our U.S. commercial opportunity. Our responsibility now is to convert this achievement into a successful and sustainable commercial launch. That will require the same determination and disciplined execution that brought us to this point. We have an FDA-approved product, a clearly defined market opportunity and a molecule that is already deeply established in retina practice. Our focus is now on building the commercial foundation required to bring LYTENAVA to physicians and patients across the U.S.
The commercial opportunity for LYTENAVA begins with the size and established nature of the U.S. retina market. The total U.S. anti-VEGF retina market is estimated at approximately $8.5 billion annually. Within that market, it is estimated that there are approximately 3.6 million injections of off-label repackaged bevacizumab across retinal indications in 2025. That includes approximately 2.2 million injections associated with wet AMD. These figures demonstrate 2 important points. First, bevacizumab already occupies a meaningful position within everyday operations at retina practices. Second, the market has established a clear need for affordable bevacizumab treatment options. We believe this reinforces both the size and vitality of the retina market, and we believe that physicians will consider new therapies when those products offer a clear clinical, practical or economic role within their practices.
LYTENAVA enters this market with a clear differentiated proposition. Biosimilars are designed to compete with their respective branded preference products. LYTENAVA addresses a different and already established area of retina care, the widespread use of repackaged off-label bevacizumab. This distinction matters. LYTENAVA is not simply another entrant within the existing branded category. It is the only FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, a molecule that retina specialists and patients already know and use extensively. Our opportunity is to provide physicians with a new treatment option that combines the familiarity of bevacizumab with the standards, oversight and product consistency associated with an FDA-approved medicine.
We also recognize that treatment decisions in retina are not driven by a single factor. Decisions consider efficacy, safety, durability, patient characteristics, reimbursement, acquisition economics and their own clinical expertise. We are, therefore, not building our strategy around the assumption that one product will replace every other option. The anti-VEGF market is large enough to support multiple therapies serving different patient and practice needs. Branded innovation will remain important. Biosimilars will provide additional choices. Our goal is to establish LYTENAVA as an important FDA-approved option within that evolving treatment landscape.
Based on our market research and customer segmentation and analysis of current bevacizumab utilization, we believe LYTENAVA has the potential to generate more than $500 million in peak annual sales by 2030. That is our base case objective, not an assumption of immediate or universal adoption, and importantly assumes that repackaged bevacizumab will remain in the market. Achieving this target will require strong execution, expanding partnerships with payers, appropriate access and reimbursement, reliable commercial supply and sustained engagement with retina practices. It will also require us to listen carefully to the market and adapt as conditions evolve. We believe the opportunity is substantial, and we are approaching it with both confidence and discipline.
Our immediate priority is building the infrastructure required for a successful U.S. launch. The retina market is highly concentrated, which allows us to pursue a focused commercial model. A relatively defined group of retina specialists and high-volume practices account for a meaningful share of injections. That concentration creates an efficient opportunity, but it also means our execution must be precise. We have completed extensive customer segmentation and market analysis to identify practices currently dissatisfied with current compounded repackaged bevacizumab and practices with significant current bevacizumab utilization to understand the characteristics of potential early adopters and prioritize our field engagement. Following approval, we have been refreshing that work using the latest market information, including the evolving biosimilar environment.
Our commercial strategy is built around the realities of the retina practice. These are physician-administered products operating within a buy-and-bill model. Successful adoption depends on more than physician awareness. Practices need clarity around reimbursement, product acquisition, coding, inventory and patient access. That is why market access and reimbursement capabilities are central to our launch strategy. We are advancing payer engagement and preparing the infrastructure necessary to support coverage decisions. We are also planning for the submission of an application for a permanent HCPCS code by the end of the third quarter and anticipating a permanent J-code in April of next year.
Commercial supply is another critical priority. We already have sufficient supply to support the launch later this year and are scaling the process required to provide a reliable commercial supply of LYTENAVA and coordinate product availability with our planned launch sequence. Reliability and consistency matter enormously to retina practices where treatment scheduling, inventory management and reimbursement are closely interconnected. We will continue to refine the timing and pace of our launch based on payer engagement, supply readiness, customer feedback and the completion of key commercial capabilities. Our approach is designed to support a measured, high-quality entry into the market and create a foundation that can scale as adoption grows.
As we build that commercial foundation, we are equally focused on the strength of the clinical story we will bring to retina specialists. We are very pleased with the strong label approved for LYTENAVA. Importantly, the label is grounded in NORSE TWO, our adequate and well-controlled registrational trial, and clearly reflects the statistical significance and clinically meaningful improvement in visual acuity demonstrated in the study. In NORSE TWO, 41.7% of patients treated with LYTENAVA gained at least 15 letters at month 11 compared to 23.1% of patients treated with ranibizumab. These data will serve as a foundation of our marketing efforts and our engagement with retina specialists. We believe the strength of NORSE TWO results, together with LYTENAVA's position as the only FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for wet AMD, provides a clear and compelling clinical story.
As we prepare to bring LYTENAVA to the U.S. market, we have taken a thoughtful and research-driven approach to pricing. Our objective is to support broad access while balancing the needs of patients, retina practices and payers. Patient affordability has been at the forefront of this work. We have carefully considered potential out-of-pocket costs and the financial barriers that can affect whether patients are able to begin and remain on treatment. We have also considered the operational realities of retina practices because LYTENAVA will be administered within a physician-directed buy-and-bill environment, practices need a clear and workable path for product access and reimbursement. Importantly, our strategy has been informed by extensive research across the full range of stakeholders, including payers, providers and patients.
This has helped us better understand access expectations, potential barriers and the factors likely to influence adoption. The anti-VEGF market is changing, including the growing availability of biosimilars and an increasing focus on value. We have taken that evolving environment into account without losing sight of LYTENAVA's differentiated position as the only FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for wet AMD. Ultimately, our goal is to establish a pricing reimbursement approach that supports patient affordability, broad payer access and practical adoption within retina practices. We believe this thoughtful approach will be important as we prepare for launch and work to make LYTENAVA available to the physicians and patients who may benefit from it.
To that end, we expect the WAC price for LYTENAVA to fall below $500 per vial. Our target is to be competitive with biosimilars and other anti-VEGF therapies while appropriately reflecting LYTENAVA's differentiated profile. A central part of that preparation is building a commercial organization designed specifically for the retina market. We currently plan to hire approximately 30 customer-facing commercial personnel who will be focused on engaging retina specialists and practices across the U.S. These individuals will be responsible for building awareness of LYTENAVA, educating customers on its approved profile and supporting practices as they evaluate where the product may fit within their treatment approach.
We also plan to hire approximately 20 field reimbursement personnel. This team will help practices understand access and reimbursement processes, navigate coverage requirements, provide clear insight into the impact of patient affordability and address operational questions associated with adopting a newly approved physician-administered product. We are intentionally placing support alongside customer engagement because we understand that clinical interest alone does not produce commercial adoption. Practices must be able to access, purchase and receive appropriate reimbursement for the product. In parallel, we are expanding our medical affairs organization. Medical affairs will lead scientific exchange, respond to medical information requests and support appropriate use in advanced evidence generation initiatives.
Over time, we expect real-world evidence to become an increasingly important part of the LYTENAVA story. We want to understand how the product is being used, which patients and physicians are selecting and how it's performing in routine clinical practice. Across each of these functions, we are recruiting people with relevant expertise in retina, specialty launch commercialization, reimbursement and buy-and-bill markets. We are also being disciplined in how we build. Our objective is not to create the largest organization. It is to create the right organization for the opportunity in front of us. We plan to align investment with our launch sequence, prioritize accounts where we believe adoption is most likely and expand our capabilities as the market develops.
The remainder of 2026 will be a period of commercial preparation, market engagement and organizational build-out. We will be listening closely to retina physicians, practice administrators, payers and other stakeholders. Their feedback will help inform our positioning, our resource allocation and the pace of our commercial expansion. As we move into 2027, we expect to be in a stronger position to begin translating that foundation into broader adoption and commercial growth upon receipt of a permanent J-code expected in April of next year.
Turning to Europe. We continue to make progress with the commercialization of LYTENAVA across the region. LYTENAVA is available in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, where we remain focused on execution, supporting physician adoption and expanding our commercial presence. In the Netherlands, we are moving forward with our national reimbursement submission and expect to launch LYTENAVA in early 2027. The Netherlands will serve as an important regional hub for distribution, and we continue expanding our European footprint. In Switzerland, our commercial partner, Mediconsult, is advancing the required regulatory and launch preparations under our exclusive distribution agreement. Mediconsult currently expects to launch LYTENAVA in Switzerland in 2027.
Together, these activities reflect the continued expansion of LYTENAVA's presence across Europe and our disciplined approach to building the product's long-term commercial opportunity. A key learning from Europe that we are applying to our U.S. launch is the importance of evidence generation, preparing physicians and segmenting the market for those for early adoption. On a side note, our launch in the U.S. is not affected by MFN, most favored nation, or reference pricing. I will now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Larry Kenyon, to provide a financial update.
Lawrence Kenyon
Thanks, Bob. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we reported adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders of $10.9 million or $0.09 per basic and diluted share compared with $15.8 million or $0.44 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The adjusted results exclude certain noncash and nonrecurring items, primarily changes in the fair value of our warrant liability and promissory notes as well as a loss on the extinguishment of debt in the current year period. A complete reconciliation is included in today's earnings release.
We would note that European revenue is improving and last quarter saw a 46% increase in unit sales as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Fourth quarter unit sales are on track to match current unit sales despite the expected summer slowdown in Europe. As of June 30, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.2 million. Subsequent to quarter end, we just announced a $55 million public offering of common stock and accompanying warrants, representing approximately $51.1 million in expected net proceeds after underwriting discounts and offering expenses that is expected to close today. We intend to use those proceeds to support our U.S. commercial launch of LYTENAVA and for other working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Before concluding, I'd like to provide some guidance on our expected revenue ramp and operating expenses with the upcoming planned launch of LYTENAVA in the U.S. We expect total net revenue during the first 12 months following the U.S. launch of LYTENAVA to be between $50 million and $75 million, with Europe contributing approximately 10% to 15% of that total. We anticipate a progressive launch ramp with approximately 10% of first-year net revenues generated during the first 3 months, moving up to approximately 50% generated during the fourth quarter following launch. We believe the acceleration in the second half of calendar year 2027 corresponds with the permanent J-code we anticipate receiving in April of next year.
To support commercialization, we expect quarterly SG&A expenses to approximately double from current levels by the end of calendar 2026, followed by an additional increase of approximately 10% during calendar year 2027. We expect R&D expenses to remain relatively steady over the next 12 months as we continue advancing our prefilled syringe. With that, I will hand it back over to the operator for Q&A.

[Operator Instructions] The first question comes from Julian Harrison with BTIG.
分析师问答
Julian Harrison
Congratulations on all the recent progress. I have a few, and I think I'll ask them all at once. First, thinking about your $500 million in U.S. sales by 2030 guidance, I understand that does assume repackaged bevacizumab is still available. I'm wondering how much upside relative to your current guide you would expect if there's maybe FDA intervention on large-scale compound pharmacy operations in the future. Is that a realistic outcome to consider at some point?
And then intervention aside, can you maybe talk more about the salient features versus repackaged bevacizumab from the prescriber and payer standpoint? And finally, you mentioned early adopters identified in your prepared remarks. So I'm wondering how many of those you've identified and what fraction of current repackaged bevacizumab use you would expect those potential early adopters to represent?
Robert Jahr
Julian, thank you for the questions, and I will try to remember them and tackle them. So first, upside. So we do have upside in that forecast of the $500 million by 2030. Roughly, if there's any disruption in the compound repackaged bev or any significant change in its availability, there's roughly just under a $300 million upside into that in terms of what could potentially happen. The way we've looked at it is if there is disruption, it doesn't necessarily guarantee it all comes over to LYTENAVA. It could be split between other biosimilars. But that's sort of our conservative estimate is there's an upside of just under $300 million if there's disruption in the compounded market.
In terms of the early adopters, our current segmentation, which we're lifetime refining, indicates that there is about 1/3 of the retina physicians, so just under 800 that represent just below 50% of that $500 million that tend to only use compounded or repackaged bev due to the step edit that's required with some of the payers where they have to try and demonstrate non-effectiveness before moving to one of the newer branded agents, longer-acting agents. They seem to be very comfortable in terms of saying, as soon as there's an FDA one approved and we have the reimbursement, we will move to you. So that's roughly the size of the market. So it's around 1/3 of the targets and a little under half of the potential 500 by 2030.
And in terms of, I think the third question, if I have this correctly, so there's 2.2 million injections of anti-repackaged bevacizumab in the market for wet AMD alone. So that's just the wet AMD. Our forecasting that we've done on that $500 million indicates just over between 30% and 35% is the share of that, that we hope to achieve to achieve that $500 million by 2030. In terms of the payer piece of it, there's a little under half the market that is commercial and fee-for-service Medicare with supplemental or Medigap. And then the big primary part that we are talking about also is the Medicare Advantage. Roughly, that's a little over 35%, almost 40% of the market.
Most of those plans do require a step through compounded repackaged bev. Some of them will require a step through a less expensive, whether it be repackaged bev or biosimilar, prior to going to a newer branded agent. So that's sort of how that market access piece breaks out in terms of where compounded. So compounded bev is widely available across all of the payer landscape and probably in over 2/3 of it, it's required to at least try it is sort of how we're thinking about it, if I answered your question correctly.
Operator
The next question comes from Kemp Dolliver with Brookline Capital Markets.
Brian Kemp Dolliver
You referenced changes in the competitive dynamics because of biosimilars. And so how did that impact your forecast? Because when I look at consensus expectations, I think your expectations are still higher than what's published.
Robert Jahr
Yes. So thank you for the question. We did some extensive work. As you know, we were working with the FDA through the first part of this year. So we really wanted to go back into our forecast model and say, look, the market has shifted. So everything that I'm giving to you assumes the following: that compounded stays in the market, all biosimilars, ranibizumab and aflibercept biosimilars enter on time and that there's ongoing decreased pricing pressures for all the biosimilars. We also assume that TKIs would be approved on time, IL-6s, gene therapy, and we also assume that there'd be no disruption in terms of availability for repackaged.
So I believe our forecast is quite conservative in terms of, to your point, in terms of the evolving market dynamics. We also assume that the Good Days Foundation, which had a significant impact on retina practices and patients in the second half of 2025 and ongoing in 2026. We assume that, that would still be some pressure in the market in terms of options and selection of choice and patient out-of-pocket. So at least in terms of what the forecast we're giving right now today is we assume significant pressure, and we still are quite conservative in our estimate, and we do have potential upsides in there, such as when, hopefully, we get a prefilled syringe out in a couple of years, there's upside there.
Obviously, I already mentioned for Julian, if there is any sort of disruption in the compounded market and if there's other ones in terms of payer availability that broaden it. So, and then certainly, obviously, there's acceleration after the J-code. But I do think our estimates are quite conservative because we did really put in there a rather difficult and competitive market for us to compete in.
Brian Kemp Dolliver
So it sounds like you're assuming that patients who are in traditional Medicare will use compounded product because it's dirt cheap. And so any upside related to that is going to be in that population?
Robert Jahr
Yes. I mean we think, again, our estimate is that we're not converting all of the compounding market. So our commercial campaign will be promoting wet AMD. So there's still utilization for compounded repackaged outside of wet AMD, number one. But also, there are some practices that are quite comfortable using repackaged for at least the first year of treatment, trying to see if they can treat and extend. We also think they will be slower adopters because they'll want to see the permanent J-code and how payers and Medicare Advantage plans shake that out.
So I do think the short answer to your question is, yes, there will be some remaining practices that over time will continue to use repackaged. I think our goal is to get into the market, demonstrate what the quality and the reimbursement and the experience is with us and then grow from there and then obviously expand that as we get the permanent J-code.
Operator
The next question comes from Douglas Tsao with H.C. Wainwright.
Douglas Tsao
I guess, Bob, maybe if you could just help me understand how you're thinking about the impact from the Good Days Foundation sort of not having availability for funding just because obviously, when we think about the price that you mentioned for a lot of patients, for patients, right, on Medicare, you're going to be looking at $100 out-of-pocket versus if they're doing compounded, it might be as low as $10 to $15. And obviously, without the Good Days Foundation that they're going to be sort of footing the bill themselves. And so if you could just help us walk through that and what you might have heard about how the lack of funding has impacted practices' use of repackaged bevacizumab.
Robert Jahr
Sure. Doug, thank you for the question. Yes. So obviously, we've been very aware about the Good Days Foundation and its impact on practices and patients for well over a year, and we've been monitoring very closely. So one thing, so there is some support and funding going into Good Days now but not at the level it was before. A lot of the foundation support does lean to go toward the more expensive, longer-acting competitors, the innovative competitors in the marketplace. That's where a lot of the funding does go for that. And remember, the foundation does not just cover wet AMD, but all retina and ophthalmology community. And once it's in the foundation, it can't be directed.
So with that said, to get to your point, is clearly, it does put some questions on out-of-pocket costs for whether it be for biosimilars or for compounded in terms of patient dynamics. We believe we've been really working with this. So on the back of the napkin purely, if we're talking about just Medicare with no supplemental or no Medicare Advantage, the math on 20% out-of-pocket, you're correct, that's what the math would be. However, as we look at our target market and we look and consider the fee-for-service plus supplemental Medigap, we look at commercial and we look at Medicare Advantage, that out-of-pocket is not universal across all patients and all segments.
So I think that's an important part of it is because each of those and the practices have gotten very sophisticated at assessing what is the patient out-of-pocket piece of it. And of course, we will do whatever we can do to support patients and practices and patient affordability. There are some limitations that we have in Medicare that we're well aware of. But part of the work in terms of the anything on price that I quoted in saying what we'd be below of, all of that is taking all those things into consideration.
So I feel the #1 thing, too, is the practices in terms of compounding, they've never looked at a J-code reimbursement in addition to the administration of the procedure piece. So we do change the dynamics of that to a certain degree at the practice level, which we're very encouraged by the practices that we've been speaking to that how are they going to navigate that in terms of, particularly for those that have indicated they want to move quickly. And I feel pretty comfortable that we are going to get somewhere that is not going to put an additional burden on patients outside of what they have today.
Douglas Tsao
And I guess maybe if you could just help us understand the out-of-pocket relative to the biosimilar stack.
Robert Jahr
Well, the biosimilars are an evolving market. If you look at Pavblu pricing and that out-of-pocket price, particularly, again, if you're just specifically looking at the Medicare 20% out-of-pocket, that price is quite expensive, right, higher than anything here. And if you look at ranibizumab biosimilars, they can be down as low as Lucentis, which is the innovator, which is currently around 230, 250, that out-of-pocket would be around 50. So we're definitely, as new biosimilars and other biosimilars for ranibizumab come in quite a bit high. So there's a broad range there.
But again, working with the practices and also having worked over 15 years in the buy-and-bill space in oncology, that back of the napkin 20% does not represent every patient and there are other ways to make sure that when the total value of care and what you're looking at from the total procedure as well as from the total product as well as the other services that you can prevent to minimize patient out-of-pocket. And then if there is a patient out-of-pocket concern, leveraging all the mechanisms, whether it be through foundation, all the mechanisms we can to relieve any patient or practice of that out-of-pocket burden.
So right now, you can see if you look at the majority of all the products that are used out there, a lot of it, there is quite a bit of out-of-pocket if you look at the pricing, particularly for the branded ones from Roche and Regeneron, and they're still able to find affordability and tools. We will use the exact same resources and thinking to help support the practices and patients for ours.

The next question comes from Ed Woo with Ascendiant Capital Markets.
Edward Woo
Yes. Congratulations on the approval. My question is now that you got U.S. approval, will you be accelerating your European rollout? And is there any opportunities for Asia entering that market?
Robert Jahr
Yes. Thank you. That's a great question. So the first one, yes, we are doing an assessment now that we have the FDA approval for the package of that in the compendia, what other regions. So we're looking at LatAm. We are looking at elements of Asia for that. We will have to look at what additional bridging studies are required. So now that we have an EMA package and an FDA package, you're absolutely correct. That also includes MENA that we will be looking, and we have inbound calls from potential partners that want to help explore those regions. Some of them are a little bit straighter, other ones might require additional data. So we are considering that, absolutely.
In terms of broader Europe, the answer is yes. We are looking at broader Europe, but we are going much more strategic and really wanting to make sure, one of the lessons learned from Europe is when you just get in Europe, you can get into a very downward spiral on price and tenders that can really consume quite a bit of time and resources. And we've seen it also with the biosimilars this year. So our approach into Europe will be strategic. We want to look at each market by opportunity, identify should we be going at it alone or finding a better partner that understands and is closer to the market, particularly with ophthalmology experience.
And I think the other part is, as we will discuss in future calls is our timing of our prefilled syringe. I think a broader European play and expansion really makes a lot more sense with the prefilled syringe because we're not that far from behind it, and it takes some substantial amount of time to secure the reimbursement. Even though we have the EMA file, you still have to go country by country to get licensed and registered and then in some cases, region by region within the country to get reimbursed.
So we will, in summary, by right now with the FDA approval, as we begin to commercialize in the U.S., we'll look at broader regional expansion and partners, including Asia, LatAm and Europe and MENA. Number two, the broader -- right now, we are focused on execution where we currently are, and we are excited about the opportunity in the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland, and we will continue to look for the right partners and timing on when we want to expand that. But currently, right now, we want to execute better and improve our execution where we are in Germany and the U.K., et cetera. So thank you.

We have a follow-up question from Kemp Dolliver.
Brian Kemp Dolliver
Bob, could you talk a little bit more about Europe? I think you already touched on it a bit with regard to the pricing spiral, but the results this quarter continue to show real lack of progress there to put it bluntly. What do you see happening that is implied in your guidance that will drive improvement?
Robert Jahr
Yes. So I think, so we're pleased with the recent reset that we've done in Europe in terms of we've really dropped down the cost in terms of where we were spending, what the cost structure was versus the relative revenue. So we're pleased with that, and we're starting to see more demand unit growth. It took a while because there was a channel fill last summer. And there was also some dynamics in Germany where we had to, in Germany, they compound even our own vial. So there is stability testing that was required. And because of privacy, it was very challenging to really understand what the true underlying demand is and what segments was there in Europe.
So what I think we're very pleased with is, first, we have rightsized the team relative to the opportunity, which we are going to continue to expand and grow strategically because Europe, the one thing that we do know in their current cost constraint structure is boots on the ground don't necessarily translate to revenue or to increased sales. So that's one thing. The second piece is we are looking at really unlocking some of the big barriers. There are some elements in the German market that are a pretty significant barrier tied to the fact that compounding and repackaged there is sort of the standard of care by law in terms of the retina practices. So it's not so much physician choice. It's really more of a regulatory requirement there. And that has provided some headwinds. Now in the hospital markets, we are seeing very good adoption and very good reorders.
So, and that is another reason, as I mentioned, I'm not concerned of reference pricing or most favored nation. I think it's more of the fact what we want to do is make the right decision is where do we want to scale but not erode our pricing unnecessarily. In the U.K., the U.K. was never a large compounding market or repackaged with less than 9% ever at their share. And the U.K. has capacity issues, which really drives the physicians to look at long-acting and the long-acting agents there between Roche and Regeneron and Bayer, they have quite a bit of market share in the U.K.
So Europe is, again, when I came in, I wanted to take a much more strategic approach to make sure we understand each market. The other one, last year, there was a lot of activity with the aflibercept biosimilars entering the market that drove some, I would say, slowdown in terms of adoptions because people were waiting to see what happened on the tenders. And even in that case, we saw some biosimilar companies decide not to commercialize because the margins and the pricing downward pressure were so intense. And I think you've seen what's going on in the media.
So my point there is to be, let's execute better where we are. Let's be strategic on which markets we go into. Number one, let's make sure that we understand those markets and the adoption curve and what is driving that adoption. If it's just a pure lower cost, meet the repackaged bevacizumab where they fit, that might not be the best strategic approach for us. And so I think it's just being more thoughtful on how we do it, but making sure that the cost structure, revenue should lead expenses, and we need to get the cost and the investment in Europe in line with our projected revenue and then also continue to look for the right partnerships or decide if we want to go it alone.
So more to come on that, but I think it's not the shortest answer, but I wanted to be clear that we're not quitting on Europe. We want to execute better where we are, and we're very happy with where we're expanding to. But we do need to be thoughtful and more strategic considering the pressures in reimbursement and pricing that are going, not just for retina, but across the entire industry in Europe right now.
Brian Kemp Dolliver
I appreciate the detail. And just one final question. If the U.S. can be $500 million by 2030, how should we think about the opportunity in Europe in that time frame?
Robert Jahr
I would say it's probably 1/4 of that. If we peak it, probably less than 1/4 of that right now, primarily just in that time frame. I think the acceleration in Europe by the end of 2028, early '29, our prefilled syringe program will be out, so that will accelerate broader in Europe, but there will be always the downward pressure on pricing. So I believe the, yes, so I believe Europe and the way I'm looking at Europe moving forward is we just don't look at Europe, but we look at rest of the world because we do have quite a bit of interest in other regions. But I think it will be, the U.S. will always be 90% or more of the total commercial opportunity in terms of net revenue.
Operator
Thank you. At this time, I would like to turn the call back over to Bob Jahr for closing comments.
Robert Jahr
Thank you. So in closing, Outlook Therapeutics is now a commercial stage company with an FDA-approved product. We have achieved something that required years of persistence, clinical work, regulatory engagement and organizational commitment. We should take pride in that achievement, and we do. At the same time, we understand that shareholders will ultimately measure this approval by what we accomplished commercially. Our focus is now on that execution. We have a differentiated FDA-approved product, a large and established market, millions of injections already associated with the bevacizumab molecule and a targeted strategy for reaching the retina practices most likely to adopt LYTENAVA.
We are building the commercial reimbursement, medical affairs, supply capabilities and required support for this opportunity. There is significant work ahead, but for the first time, that work is focused on bringing an improved LYTENAVA to physicians and patients in the United States. That is a position this company has worked very hard to reach, and we believe it creates the foundation of an important new chapter for Outlook Therapeutics. Thank you.
