PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PolyPid Ltd. (Nasdaq: PYPD) (“PolyPid” or the “Company”), an innovative biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patient outcomes by elevating treatment effectiveness, right where care begins, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

D-PLEX₁₀₀ Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Priority Review; PolyPid and Azurity Preparing for Potential U.S. Launch:

• The FDA is reviewing the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for D-PLEX₁₀₀ for the prevention of surgical site infections (“SSIs”) in patients undergoing colorectal surgery under Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) goal date of November 28, 2026. Labeling discussions with the FDA are underway, and all scheduled FDA interactions are on track and aligned with the PDUFA goal date.
• Subject to approval, PolyPid and Azurity Pharmaceuticals (“Azurity”) are preparing for the U.S. commercial launch of D-PLEX₁₀₀ in early 2027. Azurity is building its U.S. commercial organization, with an existing hospital footprint that reaches more than 1,700 leading U.S. hospitals and academic centers.
• A New Technology Add-on Payment (“NTAP”) application for D-PLEX₁₀₀ has been submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), with a decision expected in August 2027. If granted, NTAP would provide additional hospital reimbursement for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in the inpatient setting.
• PolyPid has received a total of $30 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments from Azurity, comprising $15 million upon signing of the agreement in July 2026 and an additional $15 million milestone payment following FDA acceptance of the NDA, received subsequent to September 30, 2026. PolyPid remains eligible for over $290 million in additional regulatory, launch and sales-based milestone payments. In addition, upon commercialization, PolyPid will receive a pre-negotiated transfer price for each unit of D-PLEX₁₀₀ it manufactures and supplies to Azurity, as well as tiered royalties ranging from mid-teen to mid-twenties percentages on sales in the U.S. and Canada.

Expanding D-PLEX₁₀₀ Globally:

• On September 14, 2026, PolyPid submitted its Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) for D-PLEX₁₀₀ to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) under the Centralized Procedure, meeting its previously communicated third quarter 2026 timeline. Subsequent to quarter end, the EMA validated the MAA, initiating its formal review. A decision is expected in the second half of 2027.
• PolyPid and ADVANZ PHARMA mutually agreed to terminate their 2022 exclusive License, Distribution and Supply Agreement for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in Europe, and exclusive European commercialization rights to D-PLEX₁₀₀ have reverted to PolyPid.
• The Company is in active discussions with potential commercial partners in Europe.

“PolyPid 2030” Strategy and Expanded Kynatrix™ Pipeline:

• Subsequent to quarter end, on October 28, 2026, PolyPid hosted its “PolyPid 2030” virtual investor day and KOL event, outlining a long-term growth strategy built on three levers: maximizing D-PLEX₁₀₀ through the Azurity partnership, including label expansion beyond colorectal surgery; expanding D-PLEX₁₀₀ into Europe and other territories through partnerships; and building a Kynatrix-based pipeline.
• Introduced PD01B, a new hyper-localized Kynatrix-based product candidate for the treatment of moderate to severe diabetic foot infections following wound debridement. PD01B is designed to deliver high-concentration doxycycline in the wound for weeks and is expected to be developed under its own NDA, separate from D-PLEX₁₀₀. PD01B leverages the active ingredient, Kynatrix technology, manufacturing site and processes, and preclinical and safety foundation established for D-PLEX₁₀₀. PolyPid holds worldwide commercial rights to PD01B.
• PolyPid’s long-acting obesity program, PD03A, continues in early preclinical development.

“With our PDUFA goal date fast approaching, this is a defining moment for PolyPid,” said Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad, Chief Executive Officer of PolyPid. “We have a committed partner in Azurity preparing to bring D-PLEX₁₀₀ to surgeons and patients in the U.S., subject to approval, and we now hold full rights to D-PLEX₁₀₀ in Europe. As D-PLEX₁₀₀ moves toward commercialization, we are leveraging the Kynatrix technology to strengthen our pipeline. At our recent investor day, we presented how it can reach beyond surgical site infections, starting with PD01B in diabetic foot infections, a serious condition where systemic antibiotics often fall short. We are now focused on executing our PolyPid 2030 plan, and we look forward to sharing our progress.”

Upcoming Expected Milestones:

• PDUFA goal date for the D-PLEX₁₀₀ NDA of November 28, 2026.
• Initiation of FDA communications on label expansion of D-PLEX₁₀₀ into broader abdominal surgery in the fourth quarter of 2026.
• Potential U.S. commercial launch of D-PLEX₁₀₀ by Azurity in early 2027.
• New Drug Submission for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in Canada in 2027.
• CMS decision on NTAP for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in August 2027.
• EMA decision on the D-PLEX₁₀₀ MAA in the second half of 2027.
• PD01B pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) meeting with the FDA and first-in-human study, both expected in the second half of 2027.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

• Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $6.5 million, compared to $5.3 million in the same three-month period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the ongoing NDA-related activities and continued commercial readiness preparation.
• General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of non-cash expenses related to performance-based options following the positive Phase 3 SHIELD II topline results, which triggered the vesting of those options.
• Marketing and business development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $0.4 million, compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2025.
• Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $2.5 million, reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue following the termination of the ADVANZ agreement on September 30, 2026.
• For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $5.8 million, or $(0.24) per share, compared to a net loss of $7.5 million, or $(0.37) per share, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

• Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were $18.4 million, compared to $17.6 million in the same nine-month period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the ongoing NDA-related activities and continued commercial readiness preparation.
• General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were $4.4 million, compared to $5.4 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of non-cash performance-based options vesting expenses.
• Marketing and business development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were $1.3 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period of 2025.
• Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $2.5 million, as described above.
• For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $21.3 million, or $(0.94) per share, compared to a net loss of $25.7 million, or $(1.72) per share, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Balance Sheet Highlights

• As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $15.5 million, compared to $12.9 million on December 31, 2025. Following the end of the quarter, the Company received an additional $15 million milestone payment from its U.S. partner, Azurity, following the FDA’s acceptance of the D-PLEX₁₀₀ NDA, further strengthening its balance sheet.
• The Company believes that its current cash position, together with its expected proceeds from its commercialization agreement with Azurity, as well as future potential proceeds, will be sufficient to fund operations into 2028 and through several significant upcoming potential milestones.
