Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Expands Maveric Phase III Trial Network and Provides Clinical Updates on Cardiolrx Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced the continued expansion of its pivotal Phase III MAVERIC trial in the United States, with the planned activation of up to seven additional clinical centers. Patient enrollment in MAVERIC surpassed the 50% threshold in early January and has now reached 75%. Target recruitment is anticipated by the end of Second Quarter 2026, with the potential to extend into Third Quarter to accommodate patient enrollment from additional clinical sites. MAVERIC is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal Phase III trial evaluating CardiolRx for the prevention of disease recurrence in patients with recurrent pericarditis. The study is designed to enroll approximately 110 patients. MAVERIC was designed with input from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with alignment on trial design achieved at an end-of-Phase II meeting in April 2025. The first patient was randomized at Northwestern University in April 2025. MAVERIC builds on the clinical evidence established in the Phase II MAvERIC study, which demonstrated that CardiolRx produced rapid and sustained reductions in pericarditis pain and inflammation, along with a substantial decrease in recurrent episodes per year. These findings, presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024, provide a compelling clinical and mechanistic foundation for the ongoing pivotal Phase III program and support the potential for CardiolRx to address a significant unmet need in recurrent pericarditis. The MAVERIC Program is evaluating CardiolRx for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis, an inflammatory disease of the pericardium associated with symptoms including debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, which can lead to physical limitations, reduced quality of life, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. The program comprises the completed Phase II MAvERIC-Pilot study (NCT05494788) and the ongoing pivotal Phase III MAVERIC trial (NCT06708299). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation to CardiolRx for the treatment of pericarditis, including recurrent pericarditis. The ARCHER Program also studied CardiolRx, specifically in acute myocarditis--an important cause of acute and fulminant heart failure in young adults and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in individuals under 35 years of age. The program comprises the completed Phase II ARCHER study (NCT05180240), which evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CardiolRx in this patient population. The Company is also developing CRD-38, a novel, subcutaneously administered drug formulation intended for the treatment of inflammatory heart disease, including heart failure--a leading cause of death and hospitalization in the developed world, with associated healthcare costs in the United States exceeding USD 30,000 million per year.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: CA$35m Forecast net loss in 3 years: CA$292k This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (34% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (CA$292k net loss in 3 years). New Risk • Jan 26
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 36% 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.

Cardiol Therapeutics Achieves Key 50% Patient Enrollment Milestone in Pivotal Phase III MAVERIC Trial in Recurrent Pericarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced that it has surpassed 50% patient enrollment in MAVERIC, its Phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center international trial evaluating CardiolRx™ for the prevention of disease recurrence in patients with recurrent pericarditis. Reaching this enrollment milestone represents a key execution and risk-reduction inflection point for Cardiol's lead registrational program and underscores strong investigator interest in advancing new treatment options for this underserved patient population. The MAVERIC Phase III trial was designed in collaboration with an international steering committee of independent pericarditis experts and builds on the positive results from Cardiol's Phase II MAvERIC-Pilot study. In that study, patients treated with CardiolRx™-despite a high baseline disease burden-experienced rapid and sustained reductions in pericarditis pain and inflammation, along with a marked reduction in recurrence events per year. CardiolRx™ was shown to be safe and well tolerated, providing the scientific and clinical rationale for advancement into this pivotal Phase III trial. MAVERIC is expected to enroll approximately 110 patients across some 25 leading cardiovascular research centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The primary endpoint, assessed after six months of double-blind treatment, is freedom from a new episode of recurrent pericarditis. Secondary efficacy endpoints include the percentage of days with no or minimal pericarditis pain, changes in pericarditis pain scores, and changes in the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP).

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Enrolls First Patient in Pivotal Phase III Maveric Trial in Recurrent Pericarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced that Northwestern University has enrolled the first patient in the pivotal Phase III MAVERIC trial ("MAVERIC") evaluating Cardiol's lead drug candidate CardiolRx™? for the prevention of recurrent pericarditis. This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to definitively assess the impact of CardiolRx™? on preventing recurrent pericarditis in patients at high risk for disease relapse and to support regulatory approval. MAVERIC is currently being initiated at pre-eminent cardiovascular clinical research sites throughout the United States under an Investigational New Drug application authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("US FDA"). The MAVERIC Program and Phase III leadership comprises an independent committee of international thought leaders in pericardial disease and clinical trial design: Allan Klein, MD, CM from Cleveland Clinic (MAVERIC Program Chair); Massimo Imazio, MD, FESC from University of Udine, Italy (MAVERIC Program Co-Chair); Other clinical endpoints include time to a new episode of pericarditis recurrence, and changes in patient-reported pericarditis chest pain score and changes to the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Data from MAvERIC-Pilot were previously reported on November 18 at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024 and showed that patients experienced marked and rapid reductions in both pericarditis pain and inflammation that were maintained throughout the study. In addition, the results demonstrated a substantial reduction in pericarditis episodes per year. The only FDA-approved therapy for recurrent pericarditis, launched in 2021, is costly and is primarily used as a third-line intervention. Cardiol has received Investigational New Drug Application authorization from the United States Food and Drug administration ("US FDA") to conduct clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CardiolRx™™? in two diseases affecting the heart: recurrent pericarditis and acute myocarditis.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. to Advance CardiolRx into A Late-Stage Trial in Patients with Recurrent Pericarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced plans to expand the MAVERIC clinical development program and advance CardiolRxTM into a late-stage clinical trial ("MAVERIC-2") to evaluate the impact of CardiolRxTM in recurrent pericarditis patients following cessation of interleukin-1 ("IL-1") blocker therapy. MAVERIC-2 is expected to be initiated during Fourth Quarter at major pericardial disease centres in the United States and Europe and to report results ahead of the Company's planned pivotal Phase III study in recurrent pericarditis. MAVERIC-2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II/III trial in approximately 110 patients. Patients with stable disease who are receiving IL-1 blocker treatment will be randomly assigned to receive either CardiolRxTM or placebo following cessation of the IL-1 blocker. The primary clinical objective of the trial will be to assess the impact of CardiolRxTM versus placebo on freedom from a new episode of recurrent pericarditis. Other clinical endpoints of interest include time to a new episode of pericarditis recurrence and change in patient-reported pericarditis chest pain score and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein ("CRP"). IL-1 is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine in the pathophysiology of recurrent pericarditis. It is generated downstream following activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and amplifies the autoinflammatory response characteristic of the disease. IL-1 blockers (rilonacept or anakinra) target and negate the activity of IL-1, but given their expense and immunosuppressant risks, they are generally prescribed as a third-line intervention in difficult-to-treat patients. There is a growing body of evidence indicating pericarditis recurrence rates are as high as seventy-five percent and onset is rapid following cessation of IL-1 blocker therapy. Currently, many patients who discontinue IL-1 blocker therapy and subsequently suffer a recurrence require rescue treatment with further administration of these biologics, potentially leading to IL-1 blocker dependence. The Company previously announced positive topline data from MAvERIC-Pilot investigating CardiolRxTM for recurrent pericarditis which showed a substantial reduction in the primary efficacy endpoint of patient- reported pericarditis pain at the end of the 8-week treatment period ("TP"), as well as normalization of inflammation - as measured by CRP - in 80% of the patients with elevated CRP at baseline. Eighty-nine percent of patients (24/27) progressed from the TP into the now completed extension period ("EP") of the study, defined as the additional 18-week period where background therapy was weaned and patients were followed on monotherapy of CardiolRxTM. Full clinical data will be reported in an oral presentation November 18, 2024, at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024 and will include freedom from pericarditis recurrence during the 18-week EP, 26-week pericarditis pain score and inflammatory marker levels, and safety and tolerability outcomes. The totality of the MAvERIC-Pilot data will support and further inform the Company's plans related to a second late-stage study called MAVERIC-3, a Phase III pivotal trial designed to assess CardiolRxTM for the treatment of the broader population of pericarditis patients to prevent recurrence.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Achieves Target Patient Enrollment in its Phase II Archer Trial Investigating CardiolRxTM for Acute Myocarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced it has achieved the target patient enrollment of 100 patients in "ARCHER", its Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the impact of CardiolRxTM on myocardial recovery in patients with acute myocarditis. The design and rationale for ARCHER were published June 27, 2024, in the journal ESC Heart Failure. ARCHER is a Phase II multi-national, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and impact of CardiolRxTM on myocardial recovery in patients presenting with acute myocarditis. The study has an enrollment target of 100 patients to be recruited from pre-eminent cardiovascular research centers in the United States, Canada, France, Brazil, and Israel. The primary outcome measures of the trial, which will be evaluated following 12 weeks of double-blind therapy, consist of two cardiac magnetic resonance imaging measures: left ventricular function (longitudinal strain) and myocardial edema/fibrosis (extra-cellular volume), each of which has been shown to predict long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocarditis. Additional efficacy outcome measurements include survival, freedom from major cardiovascular events, resolution of clinical symptoms, and change in biomarkers associated with cardiac function and inflammation. Acute myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the heart muscle (myocardium) characterized by chest pain, shortness of breath at rest or during activity, fatigue, rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias), and light-headedness or the feeling one might faint. The disease is an important cause of acute and fulminant heart failure and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in people under 35 years of age. Viral infection is the most common cause of myocarditis; however, it can also result from bacterial infection and commonly used drugs and mRNA vaccines, as well as therapies used to treat several common cancers, including chemo-therapeutic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors. There are no FDA- approved therapies for acute myocarditis. Patients hospitalized with the condition experience an average seven-day length of stay and a 4 - 6% risk of in-hospital mortality, with average hospital charge per stay estimated at $110,000 in the United States.

Cardiol Therapeutics Announces Completion of the Maveric Phase II Study in Recurrent Pericarditis with Results to Be Presented At the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024 Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced the data from its Phase II open-label MAvERIC-Pilot study investigating the impact of CardiolRx administered to patients with symptomatic recurrent pericarditis will be reported in an oral presentation as part of the Laennec Clinician- Educator Award & Lecture that runs from 9:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Central Time, on November 18th, 2024, at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024. Dr. S. Allen Luis, Co-Director, Pericardial Diseases Clinic and Associate Professor of Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, will present on behalf of the MAvERIC-P pilot study. Significant accumulation of pericardial fluid and scarring can progress to life-threatening constriction of the heart. The only FDA-approved therapy for recurrent pericarditis, launched in 2021, is costly and is primarily used as a third-line intervention. On an annual basis, the number of patients in the United States having experienced at least one recurrence is estimated at 38,000. It is recognized that cannabidiol inhibits activation of the inflammasome pathway, an intracellular process known to play an important role in the development and progression of inflammation and fibrosis associated with myocarditis, pericarditis, and heart failure. Cardiol has received Investigational New Drug Application authorization from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("US FDA") to conduct clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cardiol Rx in two diseases affecting the heart: (i) a Phase II multi-center open-label pilot study in recurrent pericarditis (the MAvERIC-P Pilot study; NCT05494788), an inflammatory disease of the pericardium which is associated with symptoms including debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, and results in physical limitations, reduced quality of life, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations; and (ii) a Phase II multi-national, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (the ARCHER trial; NCT05180240) in acute myocarditis, an important cause of acute and fullminant heart failure in young adults and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in people less than 35 years of age. The US FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to CardiolRx for the treatment of pericarditis, which includes recurrent pericarditis. Cardiol is also developing CRD-38, a novel subcutaneously administered drug formulation intended for use in heart failure - a leading cause of death and hospitalization in the developed world, with associated healthcare costs in the United States exceeding $30 billion annually.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Announces It Has Exceeded 50% Enrollment in its Phase II ARCHER Trial in Acute Myocarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced that it has exceeded 50% patient enrollment for ARCHER, the Company's Phase II, multi-center, international, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and impact of CardiolRxTM on myocardial recovery in patients presenting with acute myocarditis. The ARCHER trial has been designed in collaboration with an independent steering committee comprising distinguished thought leaders in heart failure and myocarditis from international centers of excellence. The trial is expected to enroll 100 patients at pre-eminent cardiovascular research centers in North America, France, Brazil, and Israel. The primary outcome measures of the trial, which will be evaluated following 12 weeks of double-blind therapy, consist of two cardiac magnetic resonance imaging measures: left ventricular function (longitudinal strain) and myocardial edema/fibrosis (extra- cellular volume), each of which has been shown to predict long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocarditis. Additional efficacy outcome measurements include survival, freedom from major cardiovascular events, resolution of clinical symptoms, and change in biomarkers associated with cardiac function and inflammation. Myocarditis is an acute inflammatory condition of the heart muscle (myocardium) characterized by chest pain, shortness of breath at rest or during activity, fatigue, rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias), and light-headedness or feeling one might faint. Although the symptoms are often mild, many patients will also report flu-like symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pain, fever or sore throat prior to disease onset. Viral infection is the most common cause of myocarditis; however, this disease can also result from bacterial infection and commonly used drugs and mRNA vaccines, as well as therapies used to treat several common cancers, including chemo-therapeutic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors. There are no FDA-approved therapies for acute myocarditis. Patients hospitalized with the condition experience an average 7-day length of stay and a 4 - 6% risk of in-hospital mortality, with average hospital charge per stay estimated at $110,000 in the United States. Cardiol believes there is a significant opportunity to develop an important new therapy for acute myocarditis that would also be eligible for designation as an orphan drug in the United States and the European Union. Orphan drug designation programs were established to provide life sciences companies with incentives to develop new therapies for rare diseases. These incentives include periods of prolonged marketing exclusivity and exemptions from certain fees. Products with orphan drug designation also frequently qualify for accelerated regulatory review.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Announces Massachusetts General Hospital as the 8th Major Medical Centre Participating in MAvERIC-Pilot Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced that Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass General) has been initiated and is eligible to enroll patients in MAvERIC-Pilot, the company's Phase II open-label pilot study, investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CardiolRxTM in patients with recurrent pericarditis. In addition to standard safety assessments, the study is designed to evaluate improvement in objective measures of this rare disease, and during an extension period, assess the feasibility of weaning concomitant background therapy including corticosteroids, while taking CardiolRxTM and to assess freedom from pericarditis recurrence. MAvERIC-Pilot is enrolling 25 patients at eight prominent medical research centers in the United States that specialize in pericarditis care. The study recently surpassed 50% of its enrollment objective and is anticipated to complete patient recruitment during First Quarter 2024. The study Chairman is Allan L. Klein, MD, Director of the Center of Pericardial Diseases and Professor of Medicine, Heart and Vascular Institute, at the Cleveland Clinic. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change, from baseline to 8 weeks, in patient-reported pericarditis pain using an 11-point numeric rating scale ("NRS"). The NRS is a validated clinical tool employed across multiple conditions with acute and chronic pain, including previous studies of recurrent pericarditis. Secondary endpoints include the NRS score after 26 weeks of treatment, and changes in circulating levels of C-reactive protein, a commonly used clinical marker of inflammation. New Risk • Nov 19
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.1% This is considered a minor 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 Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (CA$28m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.1% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$55.5m market cap). Announcement • Oct 24

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Announces Positive Study Results Demonstrating Cardioprotective Effects of Subcutaneously Administered Cannabidiol in Model of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced positive study results from one of its international collaborating research centers demonstrating that subcutaneously administered cannabidiol, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Cardiol's novel CRD-38 subcutaneous (SUBQ) formulation, slowed increases in body weight and heart weight, and prevented increases in key cardiac inflammatory and remodelling markers in a model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The study was presented by researchers from Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico (TecSalud) at the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting 2023 (HFSA2023). The poster entitled Cannabidiol As A Potential Treatment For Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction was presented on October 7, 2023 within the ePoster Viewing Session III of HFSA2023. This work was performed using a model of HFpEF that is induced using a combination of high-fat diet and hypertension that leads to an increase in heart weight to tibia length ratio, and an increase in markers for inflammation and cardiac remodeling. Cannabidiol administered SUBQ was associated with significantly lower BNP (a cardiac stress marker raised in heart failure patients), IL-10 (a promotor of fibrosis in HFpEF), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratio. The ratio of VAT/SAT holds critical significance in the context of heart failure. Visceral adipose tissue, the fatty tissue stored around internal organs, is metabolically active and releases inflammatory factors contributing to systemic inflammation. In contrast, subcutaneous adipose tissue, found beneath the skin, has a less detrimental impact. An imbalance in this ratio with excessive visceral adipose tissue is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. Visceral fat accumulation increases cardiac strain, promotes hypertension, and dysregulates lipid metabolism. Additionally, it can lead to obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes. Managing this ratio could play an important role in preventing and treating heart failure. Together these new findings expand the understanding of the cardioprotective effects of CRD-38 and suggest new therapeutic potential in HFpEF. Announcement • Sep 20

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. Announces First Patient Enrolled in Phase II Study Evaluating Cardiolrx for the Treatment of Recurrent Pericarditis Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the Company-sponsored Phase II open-label pilot study (NCT05494788) investigating the tolerance, safety, and efficacy of CardiolRx™ in patients with recurrent pericarditis. In addition to standard safety assessments, the study is designed to evaluate improvement in objective measures of disease, and during an extension period, assess the feasibility of weaning concomitant background therapy including corticosteroids, while taking CardiolRx™. The Phase II pilot study is expected to enroll 25 patients at clinical centers in the United States that specialize in pericarditis care. The protocol has been designed in collaboration with thought leaders in pericardial disease. The study Chairman is Allan L. Klein, MD, Director of the Center of Pericardial Diseases and Professor of Medicine, Heart and Vascular Institute, at the Cleveland Clinic. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change, from baseline to 8 weeks, in patient-reported pericarditis pain using an 11-point numeric rating scale ("NRS"). The NRS is a validated clinical tool employed across multiple conditions with acute and chronic pain, including previous studies of recurrent pericarditis. Secondary endpoints include the pain score after 26 weeks of treatment, and changes in circulating levels of C-reactive protein, a commonly used clinical marker of inflammation. Pre-clinical data adding to the strong scientific basis for investigating CardiolRx™ clinically in recurrent pericarditis were presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2022. Cardiol's research collaborators from Virginia Commonwealth University presented results demonstrating the protective effects of CardiolRx™ in a model of pericarditis, which included a significant reduction in imaging signs of pericardial effusion and thickening, and significant suppression of key pro-inflammatory markers interleukin-1ß ("IL-1ß") and interleukin-6 ("IL-6"). The release of these cytokines IL-1ß and IL-6 is responsible for the cycle of inflammation in recurrent pericarditis leading to the pericardial effusion and thickening characteristic of the disease.
