Positive FDA Pre-NDA Feedback Supports Rolling NDA Review; Submission Expected to Begin by the End of the First Quarter of 2026

Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 8:30 AM ET

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Feb. 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 months and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

  • Advancing Toward Commercialization: The Company made significant progress towards finalizing a potential partnership in the United States for D-PLEX₁₀₀, including moving into advanced stages of discussions.

  • Regulatory Momentum: Received positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) following the pre-New Drug Application (“NDA”) meeting minutes for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in the prevention of abdominal colorectal surgical site infections (“SSIs”) for a planned rolling NDA submission beginning by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

  • Strengthened the Company’s governance and leadership: Appointed Ms. Brooke Story as Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective December 11, 2025. Ms. Story brings extensive leadership experience in medical technology and surgical solutions, including senior executive roles at BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) and Medtronic PLC.

  • Participated in a virtual Key Opinion Leader event during the quarter, featuring Dr. Steven D. Wexner, MD, PhD (Hon), FACS, FRCS (Eng, Ed), Hon FRCS (Glasg, Eng, Ire), MAMSE, Executive Director and System Chief of Colorectal Surgery for MedStar Health and a globally recognized leader in colorectal surgery, to discuss the significant clinical and economic burden of SSIs and the potential role of D-PLEX₁₀₀ in improving surgical outcomes based on the positive results of the Phase 3 SHIELD II trial.

  • Unveiling the Kynatrix™ Technology: Over the past years, PolyPid has significantly expanded its drug delivery capabilities beyond the original PLEX technology. These advancements include the ability to support new therapeutic areas and delivery approaches, with the first test case being the Company’s expansion into metabolic diseases through an ultra long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist program. These advancements have generated additional intellectual property beyond PLEX and are now unified under the newly introduced Kynatrix™ technology.

“2025 was a pivotal year for PolyPid as we successfully completed the SHIELD II Phase 3 trial and advanced D-PLEX₁₀₀ into the final stages of regulatory approval,” said Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad, Chief Executive Officer of PolyPid. “Following our positive Phase 3 results and progress made in the past quarter, we have moved into advanced stage discussions for potential commercial partnership in the U.S., reflecting the growing recognition of D-PLEX₁₀₀’s clinical and commercial value. At the same time, positive engagement with the FDA, including agreement on a rolling NDA review, further advanced our regulatory path as we work toward an NDA submission beginning by end of the first quarter of 2026. We believe 2026 has the potential to be a transformative year for PolyPid, marking our transition from late-stage development into full commercial execution, and we look forward to providing updates as these developments occur.”

Financial results for three months ended December 31, 2025

  • Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $6.2 million, compared to $7.0 million in the same three-month period of 2024. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily driven by the completion of the SHIELD II Phase 3 trial and the Company’s transition toward regulatory submissions.

  • General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $1.8 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2024.

  • Marketing and business development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $0.6 million, compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2024.

  • For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $8.5 million, or ($0.41) per share, compared to a net loss of $8.5 million, or ($1.13) per share, in the three-month period ended December 31, 2024.

Financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025

  • R&D expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were $23.8 million, compared to $22.8 million for the same twelve-month period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by continued activities related to the completion of the SHIELD II Phase 3 trial, along with regulatory preparation efforts and advancement of the Company’s development programs.

  • G&A expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were $7.2 million, compared to $4.3 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to non-cash expenses related to performance-based options (“PSUs”), following the successful SHIELD II Phase 3 trial, which triggered the vesting of the PSUs.

  • Marketing and business development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were $2.0 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased business development and commercial preparation efforts.

  • For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $34.2 million, or ($2.09) per share, compared to a net loss of $29.0 million, or ($4.91) per share, in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits of $12.9 million, compared to $15.6 million on December 31, 2024.

  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, several long-time shareholders exercised warrants ahead of the warrants’ expiration date at prices ranging between $3.61 per share (for the warrants with an expiration date of August 2026) and $4.50 per share (for the warrants with an expiration date of June 2027), generating $3.7 million in additional proceeds, further strengthening the Company’s balance sheet.

  • The Company believes that its current cash balance will be sufficient to fund operations into the second half of 2026 and through several significant upcoming potential milestones.
