Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $69.7 million with cash runway into Q2 2027

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eledon”) (Nasdaq: ELDN) today reported its third quarter 2026 operating and financial results and provided recent business highlights.

“We continue to execute across our key strategic priorities and make meaningful progress in the tegoprubart clinical program across multiple transplant types, including plans to initiate our global Phase 3 LEGACY trial in kidney transplantation by year end,” said David-Alexandre C. Gros, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Eledon. “New patient-reported outcomes data from the Phase 2 BESTOW program further strengthened the evidence supporting tegoprubart’s differentiated profile compared to today’s standard of care immunosuppression therapy, while investigator-initiated studies and compassionate-use protocols help expand our understanding of tegoprubart and its therapeutic potential in different transplant settings where significant unmet needs remain.”

Third Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

Kidney Transplantation

  • New patient-reported outcomes data from the Phase 2 BESTOW clinical program were presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2026 Annual Meeting in October 2026. Results demonstrated sustained improvements in quality of life and symptom burden in kidney transplant recipients treated with tegoprubart compared with tacrolimus, today’s standard of care immunosuppression therapy. Tegoprubart-treated patients demonstrated a mean improvement on the total Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSD-59R) at 12 months while tacrolimus-treated patients experienced a mean worsening of symptom occurrence. Patients treated with tegoprubart also experienced a statistically significant improvement on the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) Symptoms and Problems Scale through 12 months following transplantation compared with tacrolimus.
  • Updated long-term data from the Phase 2 BESTOW extension study were presented at the International Congress of the Transplantation Society (TTS) in September 2026. Tegoprubart-treated patients maintained statistically significantly higher mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 18, 21, and 24 months, with an approximately 13 mL/min/1.73m2 advantage over tacrolimus at month 24 (71 vs. 58 mL/min/1.73m2 (95% CI: 2.6, 23.3)). There were no reported cases of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) in the tegoprubart arm beyond six months post-transplant compared with seven BPAR events in the tacrolimus arm.
  • The first highly sensitized kidney transplant patient was dosed with tegoprubart under a compassionate-use protocol at Duke University Medical Center. Highly sensitized patients requiring a kidney transplant face a substantial unmet need because pre-existing antibodies can significantly limit access to compatible donor organs and increase the risk of antibody-mediated rejection and graft loss post-transplant.
  • The third patient was treated as part of the investigator-initiated study evaluating tegoprubart for kidney transplant tolerance induction at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
  • Tegoprubart received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of rejection in kidney transplantation.

Islet Cell Transplantation

  • The FDA cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a planned Company-sponsored, registrational path clinical trial evaluating tegoprubart for the prevention of allograft rejection in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients undergoing pancreatic islet cell transplantation.
  • The first patients were enrolled in an investigator-initiated clinical trial underway at the University of Chicago Medicine Transplant Institute, evaluating tegoprubart for the prevention of allograft rejection in patients with T1D and renal dysfunction from chronic kidney disease who are receiving an islet cell transplant.
  • The first islet cell transplant recipient was dosed with tegoprubart under a compassionate-use protocol allowing patients to switch from tacrolimus-based immunosuppression therapy due to calcineurin inhibitor-related renal dysfunction.
  • The University of Chicago Medicine Transplant Institute expanded its ongoing investigator-initiated study evaluating tegoprubart as the core immunosuppressant for T1D patients undergoing islet cell transplantation by enrolling three additional subjects. This will help build on previously reported study results in the 12 patients treated to date, who have achieved 100% insulin independence and demonstrated stable islet graft function through 22 months of follow-up with a favorable tolerability profile. No evidence of nephrotoxicity, hypertension, or neurotoxicity, which are side effects often associated with calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus, has been observed to date.

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones

The Company anticipates the following milestones over the next 12 months:

  • Initiate global Phase 3 LEGACY trial of tegoprubart in kidney transplantation in the fourth quarter of 2026. The LEGACY trial is expected to enroll approximately 600 patients, with a primary endpoint of non-inferiority of tegoprubart versus tacrolimus at 52 weeks based on a composite of BPAR, graft loss, and death.
  • Initiate a Company-sponsored, registrational path study evaluating tegoprubart in T1D patients undergoing islet cell transplantation.
  • Initiate an investigator-led study evaluating tegoprubart for the prevention of organ rejection in patients receiving a de novo liver transplant.
  • Receive FDA regulatory guidance on the path to market for tegoprubart in kidney xenotransplantation.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $69.7 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $133.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company expects cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments currently on hand to fund operations into Q2 2027.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2026 were $17.8 million, including $0.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared to $15.0 million, including $1.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, for the comparable period in 2025.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2026 were $3.9 million, including $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared to $4.1 million, including $1.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, for the comparable period in 2025.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2026 was $3.9 million, or $0.03 per basic common share, compared to a net loss of $17.5 million, or $0.21 per basic common share, for the comparable period in 2025. Net loss in the third quarter of 2026 included a non-cash gain of $17.0 million from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, while the 2025 net loss included a non-cash gain of $0.6 million from such changes. Excluding the non-cash items related to changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, Eledon would have recorded a net loss of $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and $18.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

  • The inventor of 3D printing to highlight the history and the future of 3D printing at key industry trade show
  • Recognition for the early innovators across the industry who helped build the additive industry
  • Visit booth D11 in Hall 11 at Formnext to see new developments in MultiJet 3D printing, Direct Metal 3D printing and more.

ROCK HILL, S.C., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced plans to celebrate, at Formnext 2026, the 40th anniversary of the founding of 3D Systems and 43 years of the invention of SLA 3D printing by co-founder Chuck Hull. With guest appearances by Chuck Hull and opportunities to see and touch the original 3D-printed part, attendees can understand the origins of additive manufacturing, combined with 3D Systems’ vision of the future of manufacturing.

chuck-hull

“The 3D printing industry has grown steadily to more than $16B at the end of 2025 after more than 40 years of existence in large part thanks to Chuck Hull and 3D Systems,” said Scott Dunham, Executive Vice President of Research at Additive Manufacturing Research. “Chuck’s dedication to this industry, and in turn 3D Systems’ ongoing development of many foundational technologies, is commendable. Our projections for additive manufacturing estimate an industry of at least $65B by 2035, which is incredible when put into the context of beginning from one man’s idea for a rapid prototyping technology.”

While Chuck Hull has always been very humble about his own invention of SLA, he has also been admiring of innovations that came after, either via 3D Systems or from other inventors who have been either partners or competitors to 3D Systems, all of whom helped build the industry to where it is now.

“This is a true celebration for 3D Systems, but also the 3D printing industry as a whole,” said Chuck Hull, inventor of 3D printing, CTO and co-founder of 3D Systems. “Turning this small idea into a $16 billion industry has been the result of hard work and a drive to succeed by many in the industry. The drive of entrepreneurship and innovation by everyone is what has made this industry grow and we want to celebrate that.”

The Emergence of Competition in 3D Printing

Following the commercialization of SLA, other key inventors emerged with different approaches to solving additive manufacturing.

Scott Crump invented and patented Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing in 1988, and with his wife, Lisa Crump, co-founded Stratasys. Stratasys provided an alternative to SLA 3D printing and rapid prototyping, helping to develop and expand the industry alongside 3D Systems.

“We are excited to join Chuck Hull in this celebration of the 3D printing industry,” said Scott Crump, co-founder and Board Member of Stratasys. “Watching it grow from a series of bright ideas into a vital additive manufacturing industry has been incredibly fulfilling. None of it would have been possible without the passion and drive of pioneers like Chuck Hull and the many others who have helped make the industry what it is today.”

In the 1980s, Carl R. Deckard, an undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin, conceived the idea for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a process that uses a laser to fuse powdered material into solid objects. He continued developing the idea through his master’s and doctoral studies under Dr. Joseph Beaman, his professor and mentor. Beaman recognized Carl’s talent and gave him the support, technical guidance, and freedom to explore that helped turn his idea into a working manufacturing process. DTM was acquired by 3D Systems in 2001.

“Carl came up with a wild idea of making parts as he watched Star Trek one night and thought about the special effects of using sand as a backdrop when ‘beaming down’ to the planet. We worked on the idea and brought it to Joe who helped him make it work. It took quite a bit of dedication from both of them to get SLS out of the lab and into the market,” said David K. Leigh, a fellow student and colleague of Deckard’s. “DTM Corporation licensed the technology from UT Austin and developed it for commercial use. Carl died in 2019 at just 58. We lost him too soon, but the work he and Joe did together continues to make a difference today.”

Another influential figure from the industry’s origins is Joe Allison, who joined 3D Systems in 1987 and filed 12 patents for the company across 3 years. He later formed Solid Concepts, which quickly became one of the world’s largest suppliers of 3D printed parts. Allison is now CEO of Gentle Giant Studios, a leading 3D printing and digital art company involved in the movie business.

“Chuck Hull not only invented a technology but he founded an industry that has profoundly changed the way things are manufactured,” said Allison. “3D printing has repeatedly proven itself as the way forward for highly complex parts where the limitations of traditional manufacturing have been a barrier. We will see the industry continue to grow and develop in ways that no one can predict.”

There are yet more inventors who have been and continue to be key influencers in the industry and so acknowledgement also goes to individuals including: Max Lebovsky, CEO, Formlabs; Andy Christensen, founder of Medical Modeling; Yoav Zeif, CEO, Stratasys; Emanuel Sachs who first invented binder jetting 3D printing; and many many more.

From the History to the Future of 3D Printing

Across the last 4 decades, the 3D printing industry has seen periods of growth and decline, optimism and doubt, but through the belief and innovation of many in the industry, it has grown far beyond what many would have expected. Chuck Hull continues to inspire new innovations in the industry.

“3D printing continues to strengthen because of the inventiveness of people in applying it, perfecting the materials and processes,” said Dr. Jeff Graves, President & CEO, 3D Systems. “We have entered an era where 3D printing is now enabling unheard-of performance in space, automotive, dental and medical fields. With 3D printing, the sky is not the limit.”

Attendees at Formnext will be able to hear Chuck Hull present alongside Patrick Dunne, SVP, Advanced Applications, 3D Systems, at 3.45 pm on Tuesday November 17, 2026 on the Technology Stage, Stand #B49 in Hall 12.1.

You can join 3D Systems in celebrating both the last 40 years and the future of 3D printing at Formnext between 5 – 8 pm, Booth D11 in Hall 11, November 18 2026, Frankfurt, Germany

Through this program, the FDA will provide early written regulatory feedback on YDB-LMSCEV-001, the Company’s investigational biologic eye drop for moderate-to-severe dry eye disease. This early-stage product uses extracellular vesicles (“EVs”), naturally occurring particles derived from healthy donor eye stem cells specifically known as allogeneic human limbal mesenchymal stem cells (“LMSCs”).

In a letter dated November 9, 2026, CBER (the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research) acknowledged receipt of the Company’s meeting request and briefing package submitted on October 21, 2026, and agreed to provide feedback via a Written Response Only format, with answers expected by January 4, 2027.

Key Highlights

  • Meeting Granted: CBER agreed to YD Bio’s request for an INTERACT meeting via a Written Response Only format.
  • Timeline: Written feedback is expected by January 4, 2027.
  • Scope of Questions: YD Bio asked the FDA nine specific questions: seven on chemistry, manufacturing, and controls, covering topics such as cell bank qualification, donor eligibility, and product safety and consistency; and two on the design of early animal testing (nonclinical proof-of-concept).
  • Goal: The feedback will help finalize manufacturing and preclinical plans before a formal pre-Investigational New Drug (“pre-IND”) meeting, which is the key regulatory step before human trials.

Early Regulatory Engagement for an Emerging Technology

The INTERACT program allows developers of highly innovative medical products to obtain early, informal, and non-binding advice from the FDA before a formal pre-IND meeting. Because EV-based therapies remain an emerging class of biologics, early guidance on the characterization and manufacture of such products is a critical developmental step.

Current Progress & Next Steps

To date, YD Bio has established laboratory-scale donor master cell banks for stem cells and completed initial lab and mouse studies for dry eye disease. The Company also submitted a proposed follow-up proof-of-concept animal study to the FDA for review.

Once the FDA provides a written response, YD Bio plans to incorporate the feedback to optimize its manufacturing processes and finalize the design of its confirming animal studies. This is expected to prepare the Company for the studies required to eventually apply for human clinical trials (“IND enabling studies”).

Taiwan-based YC Biotech Co., Ltd. (“YC Biotech”) consulted on the FDA submission, with YD Bio USA, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, acting as U.S. agent and formal liaison with the FDA, building on the partnership for regulatory collaboration previously announced on February 25, 2026.

“For a product class as new as extracellular vesicles, we believe the most useful time to hear from the FDA is before the clinical manufacturing process and before specifications are fixed,” said Dr. Ethan Shen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of YD Bio. “We appreciate CBER’s agreement to provide written feedback on YDB-LMSCEV-001, and we intend to use its responses to shape our manufacturing, potency and nonclinical plans as we work toward a pre-IND meeting.”

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (Sutro or the Company) (NASDAQ: STRO), a clinical-stage oncology company pioneering site-specific and novel-format antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 and recent business highlights.

“Over the past year, we have delivered on our commitment to advance our next-generation ADCs with two programs, STRO-004 and STRO-006, entering the clinic in less than a year, and our dual-payload ADC, STRO-227, expected to follow in early 2027,” said Jane Chung, Chief Executive Officer of Sutro. “Early data from STRO-004 give us confidence in its potential to deliver meaningful clinical benefit with our proprietary ADC platform. In addition, our collaboration partner Astellas has initiated patient dosing with a second dual-payload immunostimulatory ADC, further highlighting our strong execution and ability to deliver differentiated, novel dual-payload ADCs. Together these advances reflect our proficiency in translating platform innovation into a growing pipeline of therapies designed to improve patient outcomes and create long-term value.”

Sutro Pipeline

STRO-004: Sutro’s potential best-in-class Tissue Factor (TF)-targeting DAR8 exatecan ADC is being evaluated in the ongoing Phase 1 STRIVE-01 study in patients with advanced solid tumors. As previously reported in August 2026, initial dose escalation in 49 heavily pretreated patients demonstrated encouraging early clinical activity, including confirmed and ongoing unconfirmed partial responses across three tumor types in RECIST-evaluable patients, alongside favorable tolerability and a differentiated pharmacokinetic profile. Dose optimization continues in backfill cohorts of selected indications. The Company plans to provide its next STRIVE-01 study update and initiate expansion cohorts in select indications in the first half of 2027.

STRO-006: Sutro’s next-generation, highly selective integrin β6 (ITGB6)-targeting ADC with a DAR8 exatecan payload, is designed for the treatment of multiple solid tumors. In October 2026, the Company announced the first patient dosed in a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary antitumor activity of STRO-006 as a monotherapy in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The dose-escalation portion will enroll patients with ITGB6-expressing tumor types, including head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal/gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, urothelial cancer and breast cancer, with dosing beginning at 1.5 mg/kg. The Company anticipates an initial Phase 1 data update in the second half of 2027.

STRO-227: Sutro’s DAR10 dual-payload ADC targeting PTK7, consists of MMAE (DAR2) and exatecan (DAR8) payloads to enable complementary mechanisms of action within a single molecule. The program is advancing toward initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in early 2027 and is a key component of Sutro’s strategy to expand its portfolio of ADCs designed for the potential to widen the therapeutic index and overcome resistance.

Next-Generation ADC Collaborations

Astellas: Two programs are advancing in the clinic under Sutro’s collaboration with Astellas focused on dual-payload immunostimulatory ADCs (iADCs). The first program, which targets TROP2, continues to actively dose patients.

The second program, targeting B7-H3, began dosing patients, resulting in a $10 million milestone payment received by Sutro in October 2026.

Recent Scientific Presentations

At the 17th Annual World ADC Conference held October 12–15, 2026, Sutro presented initial STRO-004 clinical safety and pharmacokinetic findings in a plenary session, along with new preclinical updates on STRO-006, STRO-227 and novel payload mechanisms, demonstrating the potential of the Company’s platform to deliver next-generation ADCs with a wider therapeutic index and the potential to overcome resistance to single-payload ADCs.

All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. All terms not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them under the CIM Definition Standards for mineral resources and mineral reserves.

  • Files Positive PEA for Up to 70,000 Tonnes Per Year Battery-Quality Lithium Carbonate Franklin Project
    The PEA for the Franklin Project, the first defined project area of Smackover Lithium, the Company’s partnership with Equinor, in the East Texas region of the Smackover Formation, highlights the globally significant size and high quality of its brine position. It marks a key step towards Smackover Lithium’s goal of reaching over 100,000 tonnes of lithium chemical production per year in Texas through multiple phases and projects. The principal recommendation of the PEA is to advance the Franklin Project to a Preliminary Feasibility Study.
  • Appoints Ralph Alexander to the Board of Directors
    On October 13, 2026, the Company announced the appointment of Ralph Alexander as an independent member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Alexander brings more than four decades of leadership across the global energy, chemicals, power and infrastructure sectors. His extensive operating, investment and public company governance experience will add valuable perspective as Standard Lithium advances its portfolio of large-scale projects.

Highlights From Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2026

  • Exceeds Targeted Customer Offtake Volumes for SWA Project
    Amended binding commercial offtake agreement with Trafigura, a market leader in the global commodities industry. The amendment provided the additional offtake volumes to complete the SWA Project’s customer offtake process and move to finalizing the ongoing debt financing process. The initial target was to secure customer offtake agreements for roughly 80% (18,000 tonnes) of the 22,500 tonnes of annual nameplate battery-quality lithium carbonate capacity in its initial phase. Together with the agreement with LG Energy Solution, total commitments have reached up to 20,000 tonnes per year for 10 years.
  • Signs Binding Customer Offtake with LG Energy Solution (“LGES”) for the SWA Project
    Signed a second binding commercial offtake agreement with LGES, a leading global manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries. The SWA Project will supply LGES with 8,000 tonnes per year of battery-quality lithium carbonate over a 10-year period following the start of commercial production. Pricing and other key commercial terms are subject to confidentiality but have been structured to support the SWA Project financing.
  • Announces Positive PEA for the Franklin Project, its First Lithium Project in East Texas
    The PEA, which contemplates annual production capacity of up to 70,000 tonnes of battery-quality lithium carbonate, is highlighted by attractive economics including an unlevered pre-tax net present value of $5.9 billion, an internal rate of return of 25.7% and a three-year payback period, along with average annual lithium cash operating cost of $4,226/t and a capital intensity of $49,945/t. Additionally, it includes an upgraded and upsized Mineral Resource with some of the highest lithium-in-brine concentrations reported in North America. The PEA also considers a scenario based on a co-located bromine facility of 50,000 tonnes per year alongside the lithium operation. Standard Lithium and Equinor anticipate further evaluating potential commercial opportunities for both bromine and potash given the significant scale and quality of the resources, as well as the designation of potash as a U.S. critical mineral in 2025.
  • Demonstrates Successful Use of South West Arkansas Lithium Carbonate in North American LFP Battery Cells
    Lithium carbonate produced from the SWA Project pilot plant was successfully used by Nano One® to manufacture lithium iron phosphate cathode active material and battery cells in North America. The testing provides further validation of SWA Project’s process flowsheet and the suitability of its battery-quality lithium carbonate in downstream applications and advances the Company’s commitment to technological innovation and support for the development of a domestic, fully integrated energy storage supply chain.
  • Cash and working capital of $118.1 million and $114.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2026.
  • The Company has no term or revolving debt obligations as of September 30, 2026.

SWA Project Final Investment Decision

Significant progress has been made year-to-date, with three of the four primary deliverables required prior to taking FID at the SWA Project completed: executing the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) and the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) construction vendor contracts, receiving National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval from federal regulators, and concluding the customer offtake process.

The EPC and EPCM have been operating under a Limited Notice to Proceed for the last six months, focusing on key activities to de-risk the SWA Project and optimize the construction schedule. This includes detailed engineering, identifying long-lead time items with vendors, completing relevant construction permitting, team building and community engagement. They are expected to transition to a Full Notice to Proceed promptly following a positive FID.

Smackover Lithium continues to advance the project financing workstream as the key remaining milestone for achieving FID. The Company has been working closely with the Export Credit Agencies (“ECAs”), including the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), Export Development Canada (EDC) and Export Finance Norway (Eksfin), each of which remains highly interested in supporting the SWA Project. While the ECA financing process has taken longer than initially anticipated, the comprehensive due diligence review is substantially complete without any material concerns.

Smackover Lithium is now targeting over $1.2 billion in total senior secured project debt, exceeding its initial expectations of up to $1.1 billion. The Company is actively working to finalize all reserve facility funding requirements, which will inform the final SWA Project sources and uses and enable the completion of binding legal agreements and the credit approval processes by the ECAs as quickly as possible. Based on the current financing timeline, Smackover Lithium now expects to take FID by the end of the first quarter of 2027, with construction beginning shortly thereafter.

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Martinrea International Inc. (TSX : MRE), a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems, today announced the release of its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share.

THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total sales of $1,181.9 million, production sales of $1,098.8 million.
  • Diluted net earnings per share of $0.38 and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(1) of $0.52.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $144.9 million, 12.3% of total sales.
  • Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.6%.
  • Free Cash Flow(1) (excluding principal payments of IFRS 16 lease liabilities) of $58.5 million.
  • Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio, excluding the impact of IFRS 16, ended the third quarter at 1.56x, down from 1.63x at the end of the second quarter.
  • New business awards worth approximately $160 million in annualized sales at mature volumes; new business awards over the last 12 months total approximately $565 million in annualized sales.
  • Quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share declared.
  • 2026 outlook reaffirmed.

OVERVIEW

Pat D’Eramo, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter, with Adjusted Operating Income(1) and Adjusted EBITDA(1), improving year over year, both on an absolute and a percentage of sales basis.   We continue to drive operating improvements across the organization, which is offsetting current industry dynamics, allowing us to generate solid margins. We are managing what’s in our control, and pursuing growth opportunities in a prudent and profitable manner. In automotive, we are seeing opportunities from program extensions and takeover work from financially troubled or underperforming suppliers, as well as from OEMs localizing production to North America. Outside of automotive, we are off to a great start with our TruNorth Kaizen consulting business, having recently expanded the scope of our contract with Raytheon to help accelerate throughput on the Tomahawk cruise missile. We believe that the relationships we forge through TruNorth could eventually lead to opportunities to participate as a tier 1 supplier supporting prime defence contractors in the United States. We are also seeing strong growth in our Industrial business, both with traditional customers and products, and from diversifying into new sectors, including power generation and storage for data centres.”

1 The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures, included anywhere in this press release, include “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Net Earnings per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Free Cash Flow (after IFRS 16 lease payments)” and “Net Debt”. The relevant IFRS financial measure, as applicable, and a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS financial measures to measures determined in accordance with IFRS are contained in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and in this press release.

Fred Di Tosto, President, stated: “I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded new business representing approximately $160 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, consisting of approximately $95 million in various structural components in our Lightweight Structures commercial group with Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW; approximately $10 million in our Propulsion Systems commercial group with Stellantis; and approximately $55 million in our Flexible Manufacturing Group with Caterpillar, John Deere, Volvo Truck, General Dynamics, and General Motors. This includes an award for Caterpillar worth $50 million in annualized sales for energy storage units used in data centres, and a smaller contract with General Dynamics to supply components for armoured vehicles.   New business awards during the last twelve months total approximately $565 million in annualized sales, representing our highest level of award activity in several years.”

He continued: “While Adjusted Operating Income in Europe was positive in the third quarter, and expected break even on a full-year basis in 2026 subject to obtaining certain volume-related recoveries from our customers in the fourth quarter, it has become apparent that more structural changes are needed to return the operating segment to historical levels of profitability. We are therefore planning deep restructuring activity for Europe. These actions are expected to include workforce reductions, centralization of certain administrative activities, vertical integration opportunities, and a review of underperforming operations. With these measures, we expect these actions to contribute to improved financial results in Europe beginning in 2027.”

Peter Cirulis, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Operationally, the third quarter played out largely as expected, with our financial results up year over year, and consistent with our full-year 2026 outlook. Sales (excluding tooling sales of $83.1 million) were $1,098.8 million, Operating Income was $64.2 million, and Adjusted Operating Income(1) was $66.7 million. Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.6% was up 10 basis points year over year, as operating improvements and commercial recoveries offset the flow-through impact of lower vehicle production volumes and higher aluminum costs. Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA(1) (excluding IFRS-16 lease liabilities) ended the quarter at 1.56x, down from 1.63x over the prior quarter. We are reaffirming our 2026 outlook, which calls for total sales of $4.5 to $4.9 billion, Adjusted Operating Income Margin(1) of 5.5% to 6.0%, and Free Cash Flow(1) of $125 to $175 million.”

Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “Our third quarter results demonstrate that operational improvements and cost discipline are offsetting lower industry volumes and cost pressures. At the same time, we are simplifying the portfolio, strengthening the balance sheet, and directing capital toward higher-return opportunities in North America, including in industrial markets and defence, while returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. We completed several notable divestitures in recent months, including: (1) an 85% equity stake in our Fluids plant in China, (2) a 100% equity stake in our Aluminum plant in Brazil, and (3) a 95% equity stake in our Aluminum facility in China. We also sold our facility in Shelbyville, Kentucky, which was idled following the end of production of the Ford Escape program at the end of last year. Collectively, these asset dispositions will generate approximately $107 million of consideration net of transaction costs, with approximately $60 million expected to be collected this calendar year and the remainder paid out over the next three years, strengthening our balance sheet. We repurchased approximately 941,000 shares under our normal course issuer bid during the third quarter for $9.3 million. Year to date, we repurchased 4.1% of our outstanding shares for $31.2 million. On behalf of the executive management team, we would like to thank our people for their hard work and commitment, as well as our shareholders and other stakeholders for their ongoing support.”

The Company’s consolidated sales for the third quarter of 2026 decreased by $8.9 million or 0.7% to $1,181.9 million as compared to $1,190.8 million for the third quarter of 2025. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases in the Europe and Rest of the World operating segments, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in North America.

Sales for the third quarter of 2026 in the Company’s North America operating segment increased by $23.9 million or 2.6% to $936.4 million from $912.5 million for the third quarter of 2025. The operations acquired from Lyseon North America Inc. (“Lyseon”), which have been consolidated with the Company’s results since October 20, 2025, contributed $15.8 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, third quarter sales in North America increased by $8.1 million or 0.9%. The increase was attributed to an increase in tooling sales of $65.9 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the third quarter of 2026 of $16.4 million; higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including General Motors’ large pick-up truck and SUV platforms, an aluminum engine block for Ford, a transmission for the ZF Group, the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, and General Motors’ Equinox/Terrain; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including General Motors’ new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt), and Volvo’s new electric vehicle platform (EX90). These positive factors were partially offset by lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, General Motors’ electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), the Lucid Air, the Ford Mustang Mach E, and Mercedes’ electric vehicle platform (EVA2); and programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2025, specifically the Ford Escape, and a program with Mercedes. Overall third quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes in North America decreased by approximately 3% year-over-year.

Sales for the third quarter of 2026 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $15.5 million or 6.2% to $232.1 million from $247.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was due to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including aluminum engine blocks for Ford and Mercedes, the Lucid Air, Mercedes’ electric vehicle platform (EVA2), and a transmission for the ZF Group; and a decrease in tooling sales of $12.2 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including Jaguar Land Rover; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the third quarter of 2026 of $3.0 million. Overall third quarter industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes remained largely unchanged in Europe year-over-year.

Sales for the third quarter of 2026 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $18.0 million or 51.6% to $16.9 million from $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes with BMW, and Jaguar Land Rover; the absence of sales from programs associated with the operations disposed of in China and Brazil; and a decrease in tooling sales of $2.1 million.

Overall tooling sales increased by $51.5 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $83.1 million for the third quarter of 2026 from $31.6 million for the third quarter of 2025.

The Company’s consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased by $126.6 million or 3.5% to $3,507.9 million as compared to $3,634.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases across all operating segments.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $48.8 million or 1.8% to $2,729.1 million from $2,777.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The operations acquired from Lyseon, which have been consolidated with the Company’s results since October 20, 2025, contributed $45.1 million of year-over-year sales to the North America operating segment. Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in North America decreased by $93.8 million or 3.4%. The decrease was due to programs that ended production during or subsequent to the corresponding period of 2025, specifically the Ford Escape, and a program with Mercedes; lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light vehicle platforms, including General Motors’ electric vehicle platforms (BEV3/BET), the Ford Mustang Mach E, Mercedes’ electric vehicle platform (EVA2), and the Lucid Air; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $29.2 million. These negative factors were partially offset by an increase in tooling sales of $50.6 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; higher year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including General Motors’ large pick-up truck and SUV platforms, Nissan Pathfinder and Rogue, a transmission for the ZF Group, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, General Motors’ Equinox/Terrain, the Toyota Tacoma, and an aluminum engine block for Ford; and the launch and ramp up of new programs, including Volvo’s new electric vehicle platform (EX90), and General Motors’ new electric vehicle platform (Chevrolet Bolt). Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased in North America by approximately 2% year-over-year.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in the Company’s Europe operating segment decreased by $45.7 million or 5.9% to $725.9 million from $771.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was attributed to lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain platforms, including an aluminum engine block for Mercedes, the Lucid Air, Mercedes’ electric vehicle platform (EVA2), Volkswagen’s new electric vehicle platform (PPE), and a transmission for the ZF Group; and a decrease in tooling sales of $22.6 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These negative factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $28.4 million; and higher year-over-year OEM production volumes of certain platforms, including Jaguar Land Rover, and an aluminum engine block for Ford. Overall industry-wide OEM light vehicle production volumes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased in Europe by approximately 1% year-over-year.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $26.6 million or 26.4% to $73.9 million from $100.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes with BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar Land Rover; the absence of sales from programs associated with the operations disposed of in China and Brazil; and a decrease in tooling sales of $8.7 million.

Overall tooling sales increased by $9.8 million (including outside segment sales eliminations) to $160.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $150.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME

Adjusted Net Income excludes certain items as set out in the following tables and described in the notes thereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income as a measurement of operating performance of the Company and believes that, in conjunction with IFRS measures, it provides useful information about the financial performance and condition of the Company.

(1) Restructuring costs
   
  Additions to the restructuring provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 totalled $2.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in North America ($1.1 million and $10.2 million), and Europe ($1.3 million and $3.0 million).
   
  Additions to the restructuring provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 totalled $2.5 million and $33.1 million, respectively, and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of certain operations in North America ($1.9 million and $8.0 million), and Europe ($0.6 million and $25.1 million).
   
(2) Disposal of foreign operations
   
  On June 1, 2026, the Company disposed 85% of its equity interest in one of its plants in China for CNY ¥5.5 million ($1.1 million). Subsequent to this transaction, the Company derecognized the net assets of the disposed entity and recognized a total gain on disposal of $1.6 million, including a $0.2 million loss that represents the difference between the aggregate fair value of the proceeds to be received and the carrying amount of the net assets disposed of, including costs related to the sale; and $1.8 million reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit or loss. This disposal of foreign operation resulted in a tax impact of $1.6 million that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
   
  On August 24, 2026, the Company sold 100% of its equity interest in its plant in Brazil for proceeds of BRL $55.0 million ($11.8 million). As a result of the transaction, the Company derecognized the net assets of the entity and recognized a total loss on disposal of $8.9 million, including a $10.9 million gain that represents the difference between the aggregate fair value of total consideration and the carrying amount of the net assets disposed of, including costs related to the sale; and $19.8 million reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit or loss. This disposal of foreign operation resulted in a tax impact of $1.3 million that was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Basic and Diluted $ 0.38   $ 0.49        
Adjusted Net Earnings per Share              
Basic and Diluted $ 0.52   $ 0.52        

Net Income, before adjustments, for the third quarter of 2026 decreased by $8.9 million to $26.8 million or $0.38 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Net Income of $35.8 million or $0.49 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2026 decreased by $1.1 million to $36.6 million or $0.52 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from $37.7 million or $0.52 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2025.

Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2026, as compared to the third quarter of 2025, was negatively impacted by the following:

  • a lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume;
  • a higher effective tax rate (29.6% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 21.6% for the third quarter of 2025) primarily reflecting changes in the geographic mix of earnings among jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the impact of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, and certain tax benefits derived in foreign jurisdictions; and
  • the absence of margins from programs associated with the operations disposed of in China and Brazil.

These factors were partially offset by the following:

  • a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained; and
  • a $2.6 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of lower borrowing rates on the Company’s revolving bank debt.

Excluding the adjustments explained in Table B under “Adjustments to Net Income”, Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased by $2.7 million to $112.3 million or $1.59 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $115.0 million or $1.58 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was negatively impacted by the following:

  • a lower gross margin from lower year-over-year sales volume;

  • the absence of margins from programs associated with the operations disposed of in China and Brazil.

These factors were partially offset by the following:

  •  a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained;
  •  an $8.0 million year-over-year decrease in finance expense as a result of lower borrowing rates on the Company’s revolving bank debt; and
  •  a net foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The words “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “views”, “intend”, “believe”, “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances, such as expected sales, customer production schedules and release, industry production estimates, current foreign exchange rates, timing of product launches, awarded business proceeding substantially in accordance with expectations, operational improvement during the period, current and anticipated tariff and trade policy frameworks, general economic and industry conditions, and current Board approved budgets. Although customer supply arrangements generally do not provide minimum volume commitments and may be terminable under certain circumstances, management’s planning and forecasting assumptions reflect the Company’s historical experience that awarded business generally continues for the life of the applicable vehicle program. These assumptions form an important part of management’s assessment of future production volumes, revenues and operating performance. In preparing forward-looking information, management also considers third-party industry production forecasts, expected vehicle production volumes in key markets, current sourcing levels, awarded business and the Company’s expected operational performance.

Detailed launch readiness for relutrigine and ulixacaltamide, with PDUFA target action dates of December 27, 2026 and January 29, 2027

Shared updated long-term efficacy data for both relutrigine and ulixacaltamide

Outlined plans to extend ulixacaltamide into Parkinson’s disease, Restless Legs Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder, with studies initiating in 2027

Introduced a broadened pipeline with multiple assets in Pain, KCNT1 DEEs and the Solidus™ antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) Platform

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRAX), a fully integrated, leading central nervous system (CNS) precision neuroscience biopharmaceutical company, today hosted its Investor Day in New York. Management presented its commercial strategy and launch plans for relutrigine in SCN2A and SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and ulixacaltamide in essential tremor (ET), and provided an update on its expanded development pipeline.

“Praxis is preparing to launch the first therapies designed specifically for SCN2A and SCN8A DEEs and for ET, if approved. Today we showed how our teams are ready to bring both treatments to patients in the coming months. We also provided exciting updates about our portfolio, including expanding ulixacaltamide to new indications, our sodium channel program in pain and additional programs in rare epilepsies. With the launches approaching quickly and the expanded pipeline we introduced today, we are well positioned to become the world’s preeminent CNS company over the next decade,” said Marcio Souza, president and chief executive officer.

Investor Day Highlights
Commercial Strategy and Launch Readiness
Praxis detailed its commercial strategy and launch readiness for relutrigine (SCN2A and SCN8A DEEs) and ulixacaltamide (ET). The FDA has set PDUFA target action dates of December 27, 2026 for relutrigine and January 29, 2027 for ulixacaltamide. Key opinion leaders joined management to discuss the unmet need and treatment landscape in each indication.

  • Praxis outlined its commercial investments in data, patient services and field team hiring and training, which lay the foundation for the upcoming ulixacaltamide and relutrigine launches and for future launches.
  • Hiring for the field force is on track and building momentum ahead of the upcoming launches:
    • The ulixacaltamide field team of about 300 will be fully hired before year-end to cover about 19,000 target health care professionals (HCPs).
    • The relutrigine field team is fully hired and has profiled 100% of its top 10 accounts per region and 100% of Tier 1 and Tier 2 target HCPs ahead of the PDUFA date.

Ulixacaltamide

  • Praxis provided an updated population-based prevalence estimate for ET of about 9 million people in the U.S., including about 2 million who are seeking treatment today and who represent Praxis’ initial commercial focus.
  • Provided sensitivity analyses of the Essential3 primary endpoint, including key sensitivity analyses requested by FDA during the New Drug Application (NDA) review, which were consistent with the primary result.
  • Shared an early analysis of patients in the Essential3 Long-Term Safety Study who completed recent efficacy assessments after receiving ulixacaltamide for approximately 95 weeks, which showed durable and improving ADL response over time, further supporting ulixacaltamide’s use as a chronic therapy.

Relutrigine

  • Praxis shared updated open label extension data from the EMBOLD study in SCN2A- and SCN8A-DEEs, showing continued reduction in seizures through 18 months with 86% reduction in seizures from baseline.
  • For the ongoing EMERALD study in broad DEEs, shared the baseline characteristics showing that patients had a median of 58 seizures in the previous 28 days at baseline and were on a median of 3 anti-seizure medications, highlighting the severity of the studied population.

Pipeline Updates
Movement Disorders Expansion

  • Praxis plans to develop and initiate studies in 2027 with ulixacaltamide in Parkinson’s disease (about 1 million patient prevalence), restless legs syndrome (5 to 8 million patient prevalence) and autism spectrum disorder (8 million patient prevalence).
  • Praxis will advance two new molecular entities that optimize the t-type calcium channel mechanism of action for the treatment of movement disorders, with expected first in human studies in 2027.
  • Praxis continues to make progress on its recent collaboration with Remagine Labs to develop an iontophoretic transdermal patch for ulixacaltamide. The patch is designed to improve accessibility for ulixacaltamide and is planned to enter the clinic in 2027.

Pain

  • Praxis introduced a two-pronged approach utilizing its expertise in sodium channel modulation with a pan-sodium channel strategy and a NaV1.8 isoform biased strategy for developing therapies for chronic and acute pain indications.
  • Praxis is utilizing its proprietary Praxis Analysis of Concordance (PAC) framework in pain to identify an optimized set of pre-clinical models for screening and de-risking development candidates.
  • PRAX-215 is a pan-sodium channel molecule currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 SAD/MAD study with a readout expected in 2027 and is being carried forward into chronic and acute pain trials.
  • PRAX-110 is an isoform biased molecule and is expected to enter the clinic in 2028.

Other Pipeline Updates

  • Praxis introduced PRAX-206 in KCNT1 developmental epilepsies, which has shown strong pre-clinical data and is planned to enter the clinic in early 2027.
  • Shared a portfolio of six preclinical ASO programs being advanced within the Solidus™ platform, in addition to elsunersen, which is in pivotal development.

About Ulixacaltamide
Ulixacaltamide is a differentiated and highly selective small molecule inhibitor of T-type calcium channels designed to block abnormal neuronal burst firing in the Cerebello-Thalamo-Cortical (CTC) circuit correlated with tremor activity. Ulixacaltamide has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA and is the most advanced program within Praxis’ Cerebrum™ small molecule platform.

About Relutrigine
Relutrigine is a first-in-class small molecule in development for the treatment of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) as a preferential inhibitor of persistent sodium current, shown to be a key driver of seizure symptoms in severe DEEs. Relutrigine’s mechanism of precision sodium channel (NaV) modulation is consistent with superior selectivity for disease-state NaV channel hyperexcitability. In vivo studies of relutrigine have demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of seizures up to complete control of seizure activity in SCN2A, SCN8A and other DEE mouse models. Relutrigine has been generally well-tolerated in three Phase 1 studies and has demonstrated biomarker changes indicative of NaV channel modulation. Data from cohort 1 of the Phase 2 EMBOLD study demonstrated a well-tolerated, robust, short- and long-term improvement in motor seizures in a heavily pre-treated population, alongside maintained seizure freedom in some patients with SCN2A- and SCN8A-DEE. Relutrigine has received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the FDA for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE, SCN8A-DEE and Dravet syndrome; as well as Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) from the FDA, and ODD from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE and SCN8A-DEE.

About Vormatrigine
Vormatrigine is a next-generation, functionally selective small molecule targeting the hyperexcitable state of sodium-channels in the brain that is currently being developed as a once daily, oral treatment for adult focal onset seizures and generalized epilepsy. Preclinical data demonstrates vormatrigine is differentiated from standard of care, with the potential to be best-in-class for focal epilepsy. In vitro, vormatrigine has demonstrated superior selectivity for disease-state NaV channel hyperexcitability. In vivo studies of vormatrigine have demonstrated unprecedented potency in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model, a highly predictive translational model for efficacy in focal epilepsy. Data from patients in the RADIANT study demonstrated a robust seizure reduction and generally safe and well tolerated profile. To learn more about the POWER2 study, please visit POWER studies.

About Elsunersen
Elsunersen is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to selectively decrease SCN2A gene expression, directly targeting the underlying cause of early-seizure-onset SCN2A-DEE to treat seizures and other symptoms in patients with gain-of-function SCN2A mutations. In vitro studies of elsunersen have demonstrated reduction in both SCN2A gene expression and protein levels. In vivo, elsunersen has demonstrated significant, dose-dependent reduction in seizures, improvement in behavioral and locomotor activity and increased survival in SCN2A mouse models, with potential to be the first disease-modifying treatment for SCN2A-DEE. The elsunersen program is ongoing under a collaboration with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and RogCon, Inc. Elsunersen holds Breakthrough Therapy, Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations from the FDA, and Orphan Drug and PRIME designations from the EMA.
