NurExone Biologic Inc. Announces New Preclinical Results Showing That Its Lead Candidate ExoPTEN Produces A Producing, Dose-Dependent Therapies in an Eye Model of Glaucoma NurExone Biologic Inc. announced new preclinical results showing that its lead candidate ExoPTEN produces a reproducible, dose-dependent therapeutic effect in an eye model of glaucoma. The study was conducted in collaboration with Prof. Ygal Rotenstreich team at the Goldschleger Eye Institute at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world’s leading hospitalsi. It demonstrated that ExoPTEN’s biological activity increases with higher dosing levels in animals with optic nerve injury, resulting in consistent and measurable recovery of visual function. The findings show that ExoPTEN’s regenerative effect is reproducible, quantifiable, and scales with dose. This dose-response study, the third independent investigation of ExoPTEN’s activity in optic nerve injury, complements the previously announced results from June 2024 and December 2024, which showed structural preservation and survival of retinal ganglion cells. The optic nerve crush (‘ONC’) model used in these experiments mimics the nerve damage that occurs in glaucoma, one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. The researchers led by Prof. Rotenstreich, tested low and high doses of ExoPTEN delivered by extrachoroidal injection directly to the eye. Functional measurements of retinal activity using scotopic threshold response electroretinography (STR-ERG) showed that both ExoPTEN doses improved visual signal strength in animals with optic nerve injury, with the high-dose group achieving response amplitudes comparable to those of uninjured eyes. This result demonstrates substantial functional recovery and provides clear evidence of a dose-dependent therapeutic effect that aligns with ExoPTEN’s proposed biological mechanism.

NurExone Biologic Inc. Announces New ExoPTEN Preclinical Study Indicates Significant Improvement in Walking Quality in Spinal Cord Injury Model NurExone Biologic Inc. announced new preclinical results demonstrating that 100% of small animals treated with a higher dose of ExoPTEN regained motor function after spinal cord injury. The results of the preliminary, dose-ranging study were confirmed using precise measurements using the CatWalk XT system. Using the CatWalk XT system, researchers assessed ExoPTEN’s effect on the animals’ ability to walk. All animals (100%) in the higher-dose group demonstrated measurable gait recovery, in contrast to one animal in the untreated group which exhibited minimal stepping. In the study, researchers compared medium and high single doses of ExoPTEN, administered minimally-invasively on the day of spinal cord compression surgery, to a control group that received injection of the vehicle only. Medium and high doses used in this study refer to escalating dose levels used to explore potential therapeutic effects and tolerability in animals. The treatment demonstrated a dose-dependent effect, with 100% of animals in the high-dose group regaining walking ability in both hind limbs, compared to 50% in the medium-dose group, and only 1 out of 6 rats in the untreated control group. The gait analysis data also showed dose-dependent improvement in walking function. Animals treated with higher dose of ExoPTEN displayed larger paw print areas, greater maximal contact area of their hind paws, a wider base of support, and an extended duration of the paw contact with the walkway. These indicators reflect improved balance, strength, coordination and weight bearing during walking. Evaluation of additional study parameters is ongoing. Notably, the high dose was well tolerated, with no observed side effects. As part of this ongoing work, the Company plans to initiate additional studies to explore alternative dosing regimens, while also advancing the optimization of ExoPTEN’s manufacturing processes and analytical methods. These efforts aim to refine the drug’s therapeutic profile and facilitate engagement with regulatory authorities. The CatWalk XT system, developed by Noldus Information Technology, is widely considered a leading tool for studying animal movement. It uses an illuminated glass walkway to capture footprints and movement patterns, allowing researchers to collect precise, objective data on an animal’s motor function. NurExone continues to advance its research and development efforts, optimizing ExoPTEN’s dosing strategies and manufacturing processes, and preparing for regulatory submissions as it aims to launch first-in-human clinical trials. The Company remains committed to developing treatments that bring new hope to people who suffer nervous system injuries. Ankündigung • Jun 05

NurExone Biologic Inc. Announces Preclinical Results in Restoring Vision After Optic Nerve Damage NurExone Biologic Inc. has announced significant findings from an expanded preclinical study of the potential of its portfolio drug, ExoPTEN, for repairing optic nerve damage. Conducted in collaboration with the Goldschleger Eye Institute at Sheba Medical Center, consistently ranked one of the top ten hospitals in the world, the study builds on previously announced preliminary results on June 28, 2024 and strengthens the suggestion of a promising treatment pathway for glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Researchers utilized a rodent model of optic nerve crush (ONC) to simulate the damage associated with conditions like glaucoma. After inducing injury, ExoPTEN was administrated via direct injection into the eyes. The study expanded on earlier findings which indicated that eyes treated with ExoPTEN regained nearly normal retinal activity, as evidenced by electrical tests. Expanded analyses of the study data showed clear recovery of signal transmission in treated eyes compared to untreated controls, which showed no significant response. Additionally, imaging results by optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans indicates and validates that in all of treated eyes (naïve exosome treatment or ExoPTEN treatment) a successful ONC procedure has been performed. The study also showed that ExoPTEN treatment significantly enhanced the survival of retinal ganglion cells - key neurons responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain. Detailed analysis of retinal flat-mounts confirmed this effect, with treated eyes exhibiting substantially higher counts of these cells compared to untreated or control-treated eyes.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 53% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (53% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

NurExone Biologic Inc. Announces Significant Advancements in Their Manufacturing Process of Exosomes NurExone Biologic Inc. announced significant advancements in their manufacturing process of exosomes. Exosomes, which are naturally released by cells, hold immense promise for regenerative medicine and they are at the heart of the Company’s innovative ExoPTEN product, which is being developed for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury and glaucoma. In a recent study, NurExone focused on ensuring that the Company’s exosome production process could consistently deliver reliable products. The study compared exosomes produced from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from two different donors. Despite a natural variability in the starting material, the exosomes showed consistent yields measured in concentration of exosomes and similar size distribution, demonstrating the reliability of NurExone's production methods. To ensure the exosomes are not only consistent but also effective at targeting damaged tissue, NurExone conducted further tests using an advanced animal model of spinal cord injury. Exosomes from the different donors were administered to rats with spinal cord compression injuries and compared with an untreated control group. The newly produced exosomes demonstrated excellent and comparable homing abilities to the injured area. NurExone also investigated the effectiveness of exosomes produced using different culture methods, comparing 2D culture conditions with NurExone’s scalable 3D culture systems. Testing showed that both methods produced exosomes with similar homing and targeting capabilities. NurExone’s patented 3D culture is expected to facilitate commercial mass production of exosomes.

The study was initiated by Professor Michael Belkin, following the success of ExoPTEN in nerve regeneration in the spinal cord indication in preclinical models. An Optic Nerve Crush (“ONC”) model was used to simulate conditions like glaucoma, where the optic nerve is crushed, resulting in impaired vision. Glaucoma is a common eye condition, particularly in older adults typically caused by optic nerve compression and pressure in the eye. The prevalence of glaucoma in the Western world is generally estimated to be around 2-3% in people aged 40 and older. The risk increases with age, and the prevalence can be higher in populations over 60. Estimated Number of People Affected in the United States alone, is over 3 million people, with many more cases likely undiagnosed. The study carried out under Prof. Ygal Rotenstreich and Dr. Ifat Sher of Sheba Medical Center explored the therapeutic effects of ExoPTEN on retinal function after ONC compared to healthy baseline levels, an untreated ONC control and ONC treated with naïve exosomes. Importantly ExoPTEN was administered minimally-invasively using suprachoroidal injection in a delivery system invented by Prof. Rotenstreich. As expected, the post-ONC control eyes exhibited a marked decline in retinal functionality, as evidenced by the lack of a peak (Fig. A – red graph). Experimental treatments with ExoPTEN (“ONC+PTEN"), showed promising results, with treated eyes exhibiting a peak similar to the healthy eye in the same animal indicating recovery of retinal response following optical nerve compression (Fig. B – green graph). The naïve exosome-treated rats (“ONC+EXO”) showed a lower peak and increased latency indicating a weaker response (Fig. C – brown graph). The results presented are from just 18 days following the ONC damage. These treatment findings suggest potential pathways for recovery of optic nerve function and overall healthy vision. Positive impact of specific treatments on retinal health: Graphs A-C show Electroretinogram (ERG) measurements of dark-adapted (scotopic) threshold retinal response (STR, in microvolts, mV) at -36 dB of three representative rats. In each rat, one eye was left intact as a healthy control (“Healthy”, gray). Rat A had ONC in one eye (red) with no treatment, which resulted in a flat, near-zero retinal response. Rat B had ONC in one eye and was treated with ExoPTEN (green, ONC+PTEN), resulting in a retinal response similar to the healthy intact contralateral eye. Rat C had ONC in one eye and was treated with naïve exosomes (brown, ONC+EXO), resulting in a recordable but delayed and smaller retinal response compared to the healthy control contralateral eye. The results are following the minimally-invasive administration of two treatment cycles (one post-operation and the other in the subsequent week), with a volume of 20µL per eye in the treated and the control rats (naïve exosomes).

NurExone Biologic Inc. Secures Eureka Grant for Collaborative Partnership to Expand to Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Therapy NurExone Biologic Inc. announced that the Company has been awarded a ILS 1 million (CAD 350,00) grant by the Israel Innovation Authority as part of the Israel-Canada bilateral Eureka program. The grant is for a collaboration with Canada-based Inteligex Inc. to develop an innovative hybrid therapy tailored for the complex chronic spinal cord injury market. This endeavor combines Inteligex's established expertise in stem cell treatments with NurExone's ExoTherapy drug delivery platform. Currently, NurExone is in the process of developing the ExoPTEN product specifically for acute spinal cord injuries. This collaborative effort opens the possibility for the Company to expand its focus to chronic spine injuries. In acute injuries, immediate cell damage occurs, while chronic injuries trigger a secondary injury cascade in the days, weeks, and months following the initial injury. Chronic injuries involve inflammation, cell death, and the formation of a cavity within the spinal cord, encased by scar tissue that disrupts nerve signal flow. Consequently, recovering motor function after paralysis induced by chronic injury is exceptionally challenging, and a hybrid therapy may have potential for a significant step forward in this field. The ILS 1 million grant for the first year is expected to cover a significant part of the Company's total first year project budget of ILS 2.45 million (CAD 850,000). The two-year collaborative partnership with Inteligex has an overall budget of EUR 1.69 million. Ankündigung • Sep 14

NurExone Biologic Inc. Announces Advancements in Extracellular Vesicles Functionality with Enhanced Potency and Cellular Uptake for potentially better drug delivery NurExone Biologic Inc. announced significant advancements in extracellular vesicles (EVs) functionality. Leveraging its proprietary and patented 3D-Flow production, the Company has achieved significantly enhanced EV functionality. These achievements include an amplified immuno-modulatory response which means helping the immune system to respond to injury and reducing the inflammation activity and in parallel, significantly improved cellular uptake, allowing NurExone's EVs better cell penetration, holding great promise for the Company's future EVs-based therapies. Through production methodologies, NurExone aims to unlock the full potential of EVs as powerful therapeutic tools. The Company's exclusive and unique 3D-Flow process involves culturing EVs on a 3D "scaffold" and subjecting the stem cells to flow-induced shear stress stimulation during production. This innovative technique, which was developed in the lab of Professor Shulamit Levenberg at the Technion (Haifa) and exclusively licensed to the Company, has already demonstrated increased yield in production1. The current study, performed by the Company, assessed functional properties of EVs, cultured using different production techniques. The EVs derived from Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hBM-MSC) and produced via 3D-Flow demonstrated a superior ability to decrease the inflammatory response of cells compared with a standard control and other production techniques, suggesting effectiveness in decreasing inflammation. Furthermore, the groundbreaking 3D-Flow production has led to EVs with significantly improved cellular uptake, compared with EVs produced by other production techniques. This is critical to ensure targeted delivery of therapeutic cargo to specific cell types, maximizing the potential of EVs as drug delivery vehicles. EVs have gained considerable attention in recent years due to their potential as natural therapeutic carriers. Demonstrating modulation of immune response, and superior uptake of EVs in the target cells will assist in moving from the laboratory to the clinical setting. NurExone is committed to further exploring the potency and therapeutic benefits of EVs produced through the 3D-Flow process using rigorous preclinical and clinical studies. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, NurExone Biologic Ltd. has obtained an exclusive worldwide license from the Technion to develop and commercialize the production process for use for additional indications. Based on the study results, the Company is pursuing a patent application in the United States and other key markets under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Once the production process is finalized, NurExone intends to monetize this technology by licensing it to other companies within the global biopharmaceutical industry in addition to implementing it within its proprietary drug platform.

Nurexone Biologic Inc. Reports Positive Imaging Results from an Internal Preclinical Study of Its Investigational Drug ExoPTEN NurExone Biologic Inc. reported positive imaging results from an internal preclinical study of its investigational drug ExoPTEN. The image analysis and measurements confirmed successful nerve regeneration following traumatic transection of the spinal cord in rats. These imaging results align with previous results showing a remarkable recovery of motor function in 75% of paralyzed rats suffering from spinal cord injuries and treated with the new therapy. During a recent internal preclinical trial, the company's ExoPTEN drug caused 75% of rats to regain hind limb reflex, some motor function, and sensory control. Subsequently, the spinal cords of rats from the study were subjected to advanced Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to assess the structural integrity of the spinal cord. ExoPTEN is being developed to be a minimally invasive ExoTherapy for spinal cord injuries (SCI) administrated intranasally and yielding neuron regeneration and rewiring in traumatically damaged spinal cords. The drug is being developed using NurExone's proprietary ExoTherapy platform for producing and loading exosomes with pharmaceutical cargo targeting central nervous system injuries. To assess the structural integrity of the spine cord, 9.4T conventional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in control-treated (IN) SCI animals, ExoPTEN-treated (IN)SCI animals, and intact rats. In the control-treated SCI animals, caudal nerve tracts were completely severed at the epicenter indicated, leaving the caudal spinal cord de-innervated and atrophied. ExoPTEN promoted reinnervation and nourishment to the caudal spinal cord. Ankündigung • May 09

NurExone Announces Interim Positive Results of Internal Preclinical Study of Proprietary ExoPTEN Drug NurExone Biologic Inc. announced the interim results of an internal, preclinical study of its ExoPTEN drug. ExoPTEN is being developed by NurExone as a minimally invasive drug, aimed at capitalizing on the $2.9 billion market for acute Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). The current study was designed to assess the impact of ExoPTEN on the motor, reflex, and sensory recovery of rats, following full transection (i.e. complete severing) of the spinal cord. The interim results, four weeks post-transection, showed that: In the ExoPTEN treated group comprising four rats that received intranasal administration of ExoPTEN, 75% of the rats responded to treatment and recovered hind limb reflex, rehabilitated some motor function, and recovered sensory control. In the exosome only treated group and in the therapeutic PTEN siRNA molecule only treated group, comprising four rats each, 25% of the rats responded to treatment and recovered hind limb reflex, motor function, and recovered sensory control. In a control group, comprising six rats that received a (non-therapeutic) saline solution, none of the rats demonstrated any sensory or reflex recovery or motor rehabilitation. ExoPTEN is based on the company’s proprietary ExoTherapy platform, in which exosomes are produced and loaded with therapeutic molecules for delivery to damaged cells in the body. The current study assessed ExoPTEN with an improved and modified siRNA (small interfering RNA) sequence as its therapeutic cargo. ExoPTEN, as an ExoTherapy-based drug, is designed to promote neuron regeneration and rewiring in traumatically damaged spinal cords, while being an "off-the-shelf" drug with minimally invasive administration.
