Data demonstrated scalable production, in vivo function and immune evasion, and updated progress toward clinical dosing of CNTY-813, Century’s iPSC-derived islet replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes

CNTY-813 IND submission remains on track for Q4 2026; initial clinical data anticipated in the second half of 2027

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Century Therapeutics, Inc. (“Century”, NASDAQ: IPSC), a biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases, today announced the presentation of nonclinical data for CNTY-813, Century’s iPSC-derived islet replacement therapy engineered with Allo-Evasion™ 5.0. Data were presented in an oral presentation at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy.

In a study lasting over eleven months, updated data demonstrated CNTY-813 maintained glycemic control in a diabetic mouse model until CNTY-813’s graft removal. New data further highlighted CNTY-813’s anticipated readiness for clinical testing via demonstration of drug product consistency across five clinical-scale runs, glycemic control in a diabetic mouse model after extended drug product cold storage, and successful engraftment of CNTY-813 via the intended clinical route of administration.

“The data presented at EASD build on the nonclinical package we presented at ADA in June and highlight our continued execution on bringing CNTY-813 into the clinic,” said Brent Pfeiffenberger, Pharm.D., Chief Executive Officer of Century Therapeutics. “Following our pre-IND meeting, in which we reached general alignment with FDA on our nonclinical package, Phase 1 manufacturing process and proposed Phase 1/2 trial design, we remain on track to submit the CNTY-813 IND in the fourth quarter of this year with initial clinical data anticipated in the second half of 2027.”

New Nonclinical Data Highlights

Glycemic control sustained until graft removal in diabetic mice

  • Allo-Evasion™ 5.0-edited CNTY-813 islets rapidly restored normoglycemia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice and maintained glycemic control until graft removal, demonstrating clear pharmacological activity. The study lasted over eleven months.
  • All streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice administered with CNTY-813 achieved normoglycemia.
  • CNTY-813 islets showed glucose-stimulated insulin secretion potency similar to primary islets.

Phase 1 clinical manufacturing process produced consistent product across five clinical-scale batches

  • Five clinical-scale batches from Century’s Good Manufacturing Practice Master Cell Bank produced consistent final product profiles.
  • The 29-day process exceeded purity criteria at every stage.

Liver portal vein delivery in rats resulted in successful engraftment supporting the planned clinical route of administration

  • In rats, CNTY-813 islets were identified engrafted in the liver at one month post-transplant.
  • Engrafted islets stained positive for chromogranin A, an endocrine cell marker, and for insulin, confirming they retained islet endocrine and beta cell identity after delivery.

Clinical-scale product remained functional after 96 hours of cold storage, supporting future clinical supply chain

  • Mice transplanted with clinical-scale islets after 96 hours of cold storage normalized blood glucose within 30 days and maintained normoglycemia through three months of follow-up.
  • By one month post-transplant, glucose tolerance was indistinguishable from normoglycemic controls.

Grant Welstead, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Head of Research at Century, delivered the presentation, titled “CNTY-813: Scalable Production of Allo-Evasion™ 5.0-Engineered iPSC-Derived Islets for Off-the-Shelf Cell Therapies” (Presentation 225), on Friday, October 2, 2026, in Session OP 39, “Beta cells on demand: stem cells to beta cell therapy,” held from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Central European Summer Time in Paris Hall. The presentation is available in the Scientific Resources section of the Science page on Century’s website at Events and Presentations | Century Therapeutics.

Upcoming CNTY-813 Milestones

  • Investigational New Drug (IND) submission (4Q 2026): Century expects to submit an Investigational New Drug application for CNTY-813 in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to completion of remaining IND-enabling studies.
  • Initial clinical data (2H 2027): Initial safety and early efficacy data from the first-in-human CNTY-813 study are anticipated in the second half of 2027.

Major Institutional Formulary Win Expands Arbli™’s Presence in Pediatric Care as Wholesale Orders Continue to Increase Sequentially

Arbli™ Addresses an Approximately $219 Million U.S. Losartan Market Representing Approximately 72 Million Prescriptions Annually

COMMACK, NY, Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SCIENTURE HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ: SCNX) (“Scienture”), a holding company for existing and planned pharmaceutical operating companies focused on providing enhanced value to patients, physicians and caregivers through the development, commercialization, and distribution of novel specialty products that address unmet market needs, today announced that Arbli™ (losartan potassium) Oral Suspension, 10 mg/mL has been added to the formulary of three (3) leading U.S. pediatric academic medical centers and hospitals specializing in the treatment of children with complex and chronic medical conditions.

The formulary additions represent an important commercial milestone for Arbli™ and expands the product’s presence within the institutional and pediatric healthcare market. Arbli™ is a proprietary oral suspension formulation of losartan potassium designed to improve patient access and compliance, particularly among pediatric, geriatric and other patient populations with difficulty swallowing tablets.

Arbli™ addresses a large and established U.S. losartan market representing approximately $219 million in sales and approximately 72 million prescriptions annually (IQVIA MAT Apr 2026). By eliminating the variability and inconvenience associated with pharmacy compounding, Scienture believes that Arbli™ provides healthcare professionals with a consistent, convenient and scalable ready-to-use treatment option.

Arbli™ is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in adults and pediatric patients six years of age and older. Its ready-to-use 10 mg/mL oral suspension provides flexible dosing without the need for extemporaneous pharmacy compounding, attributes that are particularly relevant in pediatric care, where patients may require individualized dosing or have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

Narasimhan Mani, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Scienture, commented, “The commercial rollout of Arbli™ has continued to gain momentum, with wholesale orders increasing sequentially and adoption expanding across key healthcare channels. These formulary additions represent an important growth milestone in the commercialization of Arbli™ and, importantly, its adoption within the pediatric healthcare setting, where the product provides much needed patient benefits. With the U.S. losartan market representing approximately $219 million in sales annually, even modest market penetration could represent a meaningful commercial opportunity for Arbli™. The opportunity is particularly compelling given Scienture’s high gross margins, providing significant operating leverage as we continue to expand Arbli™’s market penetration. We believe the combination of expanding institutional adoption, increasing wholesale orders and a highly attractive market opportunity provides a strong foundation for continued growth.”

“We believe this is just the beginning of the opportunity for Arbli™ within the pediatric hospital market,” added Shankar Hariharan, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Scienture. “We believe the addition of Arbli™ by leading pediatric academic medical centers can help support our efforts to expand adoption across other institutions. We remain focused on building broader hospital and institutional access while continuing to expand payer coverage, pharmacy availability and distribution nationwide.”

The new formulary placements build upon Scienture’s broader commercialization strategy for Arbli™, which is focused on expanding commercial and government payer coverage, pharmacy availability, institutional adoption and distribution access. The Company intends to continue pursuing hospital and institutional formulary opportunities, including within pediatric healthcare settings, as it works to broaden Arbli™ adoption and increase patient access nationwide.

About Arbli™

Arbli™ is a novel proprietary formulation of losartan, a widely prescribed angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for hypertension. It is the first and only liquid formulation of losartan on the market that does not require compounding and has reduced dosing volume and long-term shelf life at room temperature storage. Arbli™ is FDA-approved for the treatment of hypertension in patients greater than six years old, for reducing the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, and for treating diabetic nephropathy in certain patients with type 2 diabetes. By offering a safe, effective, and convenient liquid alternative, Arbli™ provides a tailored solution for patients who require or prefer a liquid formulation. As an FDA-approved product, Arbli™ provides consistent quality and dosing accuracy, addressing the risks and inconsistencies often associated with extemporaneously compounded losartan prescriptions. Arbli™ has two issued patents from the USPTO, which are also listed in the FDA Orangebook.

Arbli™ is the first and only oral liquid formulation of losartan approved by the U.S. FDA. Arbli™ comes in a 165 mL bottle as a peppermint flavored suspension that does not require refrigeration and has been approved for a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature.

INDICATION

Arbli™ is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for:

  • Treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure in adults and children greater than 6 years old. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
  • Reduction of the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
  • Treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of hypertension.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • Do not take Arbli™ when pregnant. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Arbli™ as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. Arbli™ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Use of drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy reduces fetal renal function and increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
  • Do not co-administer Arbli™ with aliskiren in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with Arbli™ in patients with renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min).
  • Do not administer Arbli™ in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Arbli™ has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
  • The most common adverse reactions are (incidence ≥2% and greater than placebo): dizziness, upper respiratory infection, nasal congestion, and back pain.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also contact Scienture at 1-833-754-4917.

Please see the full Prescribing Information for complete product information. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider.

About Hypertension

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a cardiovascular condition, when the pressure in the blood vessels is too high (140/90 mmHg or higher). According to the CDC, hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects nearly half of adults in the United States, or approximately 119.9 million people. Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Hypertension is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease, which are leading causes of death in the U.S. Factors that increase the risk of having high blood pressure include: older age, genetics, being overweight or obese, not being physically active, high-salt diet and drinking too much alcohol. Hypertension is clinically diagnosed if, when blood pressure is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days is ≥140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days is ≥ 90 mmHg.

Its ready-to-use 10 mg/mL oral suspension provides flexible dosing without the need for extemporaneous pharmacy compounding, attributes that are particularly relevant in pediatric care, where patients may require individualized dosing or have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

Narasimhan Mani, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Scienture, commented, “The commercial rollout of Arbli™ has continued to gain momentum, with wholesale orders increasing sequentially and adoption expanding across key healthcare channels. These formulary additions represent an important growth milestone in the commercialization of Arbli™ and, importantly, its adoption within the pediatric healthcare setting, where the product provides much needed patient benefits. With the U.S. losartan market representing approximately $219 million in sales annually, even modest market penetration could represent a meaningful commercial opportunity for Arbli™. The opportunity is particularly compelling given Scienture’s high gross margins, providing significant operating leverage as we continue to expand Arbli™’s market penetration. We believe the combination of expanding institutional adoption, increasing wholesale orders and a highly attractive market opportunity provides a strong foundation for continued growth.”

“We believe this is just the beginning of the opportunity for Arbli™ within the pediatric hospital market,” added Shankar Hariharan, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Scienture. “We believe the addition of Arbli™ by leading pediatric academic medical centers can help support our efforts to expand adoption across other institutions. We remain focused on building broader hospital and institutional access while continuing to expand payer coverage, pharmacy availability and distribution nationwide.”

The new formulary placements build upon Scienture’s broader commercialization strategy for Arbli™, which is focused on expanding commercial and government payer coverage, pharmacy availability, institutional adoption and distribution access. The Company intends to continue pursuing hospital and institutional formulary opportunities, including within pediatric healthcare settings, as it works to broaden Arbli™ adoption and increase patient access nationwide.

About Arbli™

Arbli™ is a novel proprietary formulation of losartan, a widely prescribed angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for hypertension. It is the first and only liquid formulation of losartan on the market that does not require compounding and has reduced dosing volume and long-term shelf life at room temperature storage. Arbli™ is FDA-approved for the treatment of hypertension in patients greater than six years old, for reducing the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, and for treating diabetic nephropathy in certain patients with type 2 diabetes. By offering a safe, effective, and convenient liquid alternative, Arbli™ provides a tailored solution for patients who require or prefer a liquid formulation. As an FDA-approved product, Arbli™ provides consistent quality and dosing accuracy, addressing the risks and inconsistencies often associated with extemporaneously compounded losartan prescriptions. Arbli™ has two issued patents from the USPTO, which are also listed in the FDA Orangebook.

Arbli™ is the first and only oral liquid formulation of losartan approved by the U.S. FDA. Arbli™ comes in a 165 mL bottle as a peppermint flavored suspension that does not require refrigeration and has been approved for a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature.

INDICATION

Arbli™ is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for:

  • Treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure in adults and children greater than 6 years old. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
  • Reduction of the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
  • Treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of hypertension.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • Do not take Arbli™ when pregnant. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Arbli™ as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. Arbli™ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Use of drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy reduces fetal renal function and increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
  • Do not co-administer Arbli™ with aliskiren in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with Arbli™ in patients with renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min).
  • Do not administer Arbli™ in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Arbli™ has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
  • The most common adverse reactions are (incidence ≥2% and greater than placebo): dizziness, upper respiratory infection, nasal congestion, and back pain.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also contact Scienture at 1-833-754-4917.

About Hypertension

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a cardiovascular condition, when the pressure in the blood vessels is too high (140/90 mmHg or higher). According to the CDC, hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects nearly half of adults in the United States, or approximately 119.9 million people. Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Hypertension is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease, which are leading causes of death in the U.S. Factors that increase the risk of having high blood pressure include: older age, genetics, being overweight or obese, not being physically active, high-salt diet and drinking too much alcohol. Hypertension is clinically diagnosed if, when blood pressure is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days is ≥140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days is ≥ 90 mmHg.

Patent expands protection for catheter-based technologies enabling transvascular access, treatment guidance, adaptive treatment delivery, and real-time procedural validation beyond the lumen wall

Patent reinforces Autonomix’s transvascular intervention platform across multiple nerve-targeted therapies

THE WOODLANDS, TX, Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the “Company”), a medical device company dedicated to advancing precision nerve-targeted treatments, today announced the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has issued Canadian Patent No. 3,183,802, titled, “Systems, Methods, and Devices for Monitoring and Treatment of Tissues Within and/or Through a Lumen Wall.” The Company’s growing global intellectual property portfolio now includes 112 issued or pending patent applications worldwide, with the newly issued patent further strengthening its intellectual property position across multiple nerve-targeted therapies and denervation applications.

The newly issued patent protects the Company’s catheter-based transvascular intervention technologies designed to access tissue beyond the vessel wall and guide, optimize and validate therapy delivery using real-time physiological feedback.

Corresponding patents covering related inventions have previously been issued in the United States and Europe, reinforcing Autonomix’s intellectual property position across major commercial markets.

“We believe the future of nerve-targeted therapy lies not only in identifying the appropriate neural target, but in enabling physicians to precisely access that target, deliver therapy with objective physiological feedback, and determine whether the intended therapeutic effect has been achieved,” commented Brad Hauser, Chief Executive Officer of Autonomix Medical. “This patent strengthens protection around the core technologies that enable catheter-based transvascular intervention, reinforcing the differentiated capabilities of our platform and supporting our long-term strategy to advance next-generation neuromodulation technologies across multiple clinical applications.”

The newly granted Canadian patent covers catheter-based transvascular (intraluminal) tools and systems designed to operate from within a bodily lumen, where deployable probes penetrate into and/or through a lumen wall to access tissue and nerves located outside the vessel. The patent covers multi-site electrophysiological sensing, incorporating sensing at a target site, secondary site, and reference site to improve, for example, signal quality and procedural confidence. The patent also encompasses methods for assessing procedural completion based on electrophysiological signal processing, including detection of changes in neural activity patterns to assess treatment effect and procedural outcomes.

In addition, the patent includes closed-loop control capabilities that enable systems to adjust stimulation or therapeutic energy delivery in real time based on live electrophysiological feedback. This supports adaptive neuromodulation and more data-driven procedural workflows. The patent further covers a broad range of electrophysiological signal types and therapeutic modalities, with potential applicability across multiple nerve-targeted indications. It also includes system-level claims covering control units configured to evaluate, guide, and optimize procedures using real-time electrophysiological data.

Autonomix has built a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio designed to provide broad, area-by-area protection across the body, encompassing core platforms for nerve mapping, signal processing, and controlled micro-ablation, along with application-specific innovations across multiple organ systems. With issued patents in the United States, Canada, Europe, and other key international jurisdictions, and expirations extending into the late 2030s, the portfolio is structured to support multi-organ platform scalability and expansion into diverse clinical indications.

About Autonomix Medical, Inc.

Autonomix is a medical device company focused on advancing innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases involving the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. The Company’s first-in-class platform system technology includes a catheter-based microchip sensing array that may have the ability to detect and differentiate neural signals with greater sensitivity than currently available technologies. We believe this will enable, for the first time ever, transvascular diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the peripheral nervous system virtually anywhere in the body.

We are initially developing this technology for the treatment of pain, with initial trials focused on pancreatic cancer, a condition that causes debilitating pain and is without a reliable solution. Our technology constitutes a platform to address dozens of potential indications, including cardiology, hypertension and chronic pain management, across a wide disease spectrum. Our technology is investigational and has not yet been cleared for marketing in the United States.
