Prokidney Corp. Presents Full Results from the Phase 2 Regen-007 Trial of Rilparencel At the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2025 ProKidney Corp. presented full results from the Phase 2 REGEN-007 trial evaluating rilparencel in patients with advanced CKD and diabetes. The data, featured in a late-breaking clinical trials presentation at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2025, further demonstrate the potential of rilparencel to preserve kidney function in patients with advanced CKD and diabetes who are at high risk of kidney failure and have limited therapeutic options. The full Phase 2 trial results presented at ASN Kidney Week 2025 add to the body of clinical data for rilparencel that support the ongoing registrational Phase 3 PROACT 1 study. A first-of-its-kind, proprietary, autologous cell therapy, rilparencel has the potential to be a novel treatment for advanced CKD and diabetes, offering patients an alternative therapeutic option to delay or prevent the need for dialysis. REGEN-007 was a multi-center Phase 2 open-label 1:1 randomized two-arm trial in patients with advanced CKD and diabetes. Eligible participants were assigned to one of two treatment groups using different dosing regimens. Group 1 replicated the dosing schedule of the ongoing Phase 3 PROACT 1 study in which patients receive two scheduled rilparencel injections (one in each kidney), approximately three months apart. Group 2 tested an exploratory dosing regimen to investigate whether disease progression triggers, rather than a time-based trigger, could optimize multiple doses of rilparencel. Group 2 received one injection and a second only if a re-dosing trigger was met within 15 months after the first injection. Participants were followed up to 18 months after their last injection. Overall, 87 rilparencel injections in 49 participants were performed during the study. The primary efficacy endpoint was change in eGFR slope from the pre-injection period to the period after the last injection analyzed using a linear mixed model. The primary safety endpoint was the percentage of participants with procedure- and investigational product-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). In Group 1 (n=24), bilateral kidney injection with rilparencel resulted in a 4.6 mL/min/1.73m2 improvement in the annual decline in eGFR slope; this 78% improvement was statistically significant and clinically meaningful (p<0.001). Among Group 1 patients, 15 of 24 (63%) met key Phase 3 PROACT 1 inclusion criteria; in this subgroup, bilateral kidney injection resulted in a 5.5 mL/min/1.73m2 improvement in the annual decline in eGFR slope; this 85% improvement was statistically significant and clinically meaningful (p=0.005). Group 2 (n=25) tested an exploratory dosing regimen that resulted in 10 of 25 (40%) patients receiving only one rilparencel injection; following treatment with rilparencel, the annual decline in eGFR slope improved by 1.7 mL/min/1.73m2, or 50%; this improvement was not statistically significant (p=0.085) but suggests evidence of a dose response. Post-hoc analysis of patient subgroups on standard-of-care (SOC) medications, including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), suggest rilparencel had a treatment effect incremental to that observed with SOC. Rilparencel was well tolerated and had an acceptable safety profile. In Group 1 (N = 24, mITT), the annual eGFR slope before injection was -5.84 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: -7.97 to -3.70), and after the last injection it was -1.27 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: -3.97 to 1.43). This represents an absolute improvement of 4.57 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: 1.95 to 7.18) and a relative improvement of 78%.
In Group 2 (N = 25, mITT), the annual eGFR slope before injection was -3.40 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: -5.03 to -1.77), and after the last injection it was -1.71 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: -3.78 to 0.36). This corresponds to an absolute improvement of 1.70 mL/min/1.73m² (95% CI: -0.24 to 3.63) and a relative improvement of 50%. Duyuru • Oct 21

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 15% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (66% average daily change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 15% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (US$527k revenue).

Prokidney Corp. Reports Statistically and Clinically Significant Topline Results for the Phase 2 Regen-007 Trial Evaluating Rilparencel in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetes ProKidney Corp. reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful positive topline results from the full Group 1 modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population of the Phase 2 REGEN-007 trial evaluating rilparencel in patients with CKD and diabetes. Rilparencel is an autologous cellular therapy that has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and is currently being evaluated in the ongoing Phase 3 REGEN-006 (PROACT 1) trial to demonstrate the therapy's potential to preserve kidney function in patients with advanced CKD and type 2 diabetes. Phase 2 REGEN-007 is a multi-center Phase 2 open-label 1:1 randomized two-arm trial in patients with diabetes, CKD, and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20-50 mL/min/1.73m2. At randomization, patients were assigned to one of two treatment groups using different dosing regimens. Group 1 replicated the dosing schedule of the ongoing Phase 3 PROACT 1 study in which patients received two scheduled rilparencel injections (one in each kidney), approximately three months apart. In Group 2, patients received a single rilparencel injection in one kidney and a second injection in the contralateral kidney only if triggered by a sustained eGFR decline from baseline of 20%, and/or an increase in the urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) from baseline of 30% and 30 mg/g. The prespecified primary endpoint for REGEN-007 is the difference in annual eGFR slope (cal calculated using a linear mixed effects model) in the pre-injection period versus the period following the last rilparenceljection. The pre-injection period included all historical eGFR values collected up to 24 months before the screening visit as well as a dose response in Group 2. Price Target Changed • Jun 30

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 26% 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change).

Prokidney Corp. Reports Regulatory and Clinical Development Updates Following Successful FDA Type B Meeting ProKidney Corp. reported several regulatory and clinical development updates. In October, ProKidney had a Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss updates to rilparencel’s registrational trial strategy. The FDA confirmed that REGEN-006 (PROACT 1), a single, large, multi-center, well-controlled Phase 3 trial designed to demonstrate substantial evidence of effectiveness and safety, could be sufficient to support a potential Biologics License Application (BLA) submission. Additionally, the FDA confirmed that the accelerated approval pathway is available to rilparencel and that the Company could consider estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope as a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval. ProKidney will continue to engage with the FDA, under its regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designation, to further define the details supporting this accelerated pathway. · In late October, the Company presented five poster presentations at the American Society of Nephrology’s (ASN) Kidney Week. This included a poster presentation in the late-breaking clinical trial session on the Phase 2 REGEN-007 study, and four poster presentations focused on rilparencel’s mechanism of action (MOA) and product characteristics. REGEN-006 is an ongoing Phase 3, randomized, blinded, sham controlled safety and efficacy study of rilparencel in subjects with type 2 diabetes and advanced CKD. The study protocol was amended in 1H 2024 to focus on a subset of patients with stage 4 CKD (eGFR 20-30ml min/1.73m2) and late stage 3b CKD (eGFR 30-35ml min/1.73m2) with accompanying albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, or UACR less than 5,000 mg/g for patients with eGFR 20-30ml min/1.73m2 and 300-5,000 mg/g for patients with eGFR 30-35ml min/1.73m2). The total planned enrollment is approximately 685 subjects. Subjects are randomized (1:1) to the treatment group and the sham control group prior to kidney biopsy or a sham biopsy procedure, respectively. Subjects in the treatment group are to receive the first rilparencel injection within 18 weeks of kidney biopsy. After three months it is intended that a second rilparencel injection be given into the contralateral kidney. Subjects in the control group, who previously underwent the sham biopsy procedure, are to receive two sham injections at similar time points as the treatment group. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of up to two rilparencel injections using a minimally invasive percutaneous approach. The primary composite endpoint is the time from first injection to the earliest of: at least 40% reduction in eGFR; eGFR. New Risk • Sep 16

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 7.9% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits.

Prokidney Announces Strategic Updates to Its Phase 3 Program to Accelerate Rilparencel’s Registrational Path to Potential Approval in the U.S ProKidney Corp. announced strategic updates to its Phase 3 program for rilparencel, an investigational treatment to potentially preserve kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and advanced CKD. ProKidney recently completed a comprehensive internal and external review, including engaging with ex-FDA officials and seasoned regulatory experts, to determine the optimal path to bring rilparencel to patients in the U.S. with type 2 diabetes and advanced CKD – a market where there is high unmet clinical and economic need. An important conclusion of this review is that under the provisions of the Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation, the Company believes rilparencel is eligible for initial FDA approval under an expedited approval pathway based upon successful completion of the ongoing Phase 3 REGEN-006 (PROACT 1) trial. ProKidney believes that the Phase 3 REGEN-016 (PROACT 2) trial is not required for initial U.S. registration. Thus, the Company will discontinue PROACT 2, which was focused on enrollment outside the U.S. With the discontinuation of PROACT 2, ProKidney now expects current cash to support operating plans into first quarter of 2027. The Company estimates the revised Phase 3 program will deliver topline results by third quarter 2027 and reduce expenses by approximately $150 to $175 million. Today’s update follows a transformational period for ProKidney over the past 10 months. In November 2023, Bruce Culleton, M.D., a nephrologist and seasoned leader of kidney care organizations, was appointed Chief Executive Officer. Under Dr. Culleton’s leadership, ProKidney has made significant progress, including the implementation of improved quality management systems to ensure compliance with global standards for commercial manufacturing and the Phase 3 program, the refinement and restart of the Phase 3 program with a renewed focus on patients with advanced CKD in the U.S., and the appointment of several key executive leaders across clinical operations, manufacturing, human resources, and business operations. The Company also released final data from the Phase 2 RMCL-002 trial and interim data from the Phase 2 REGEN-007 trial. Data from these trials suggest that rilparencel’s greatest potential therapeutic impact is in advanced CKD patients at high risk of kidney failure. This patient population aligns with feedback from payors and providers who have emphasized the need for treatment options in this population. Rilparencel was granted RMAT designation by the FDA in October 2021. RMAT designation can be granted to regenerative medicine therapies (including cell therapies) that are intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and have preliminary clinical evidence that indicate the drug candidate has the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition. This designation is intended to facilitate an accelerated development and review process similar to the breakthrough therapy designation. With an RMAT designation for rilparencel, ProKidney will continue to work with the FDA to receive guidance on its registrational program, including guidance on clinical trial design, manufacturing, and long-term patient follow-up, as appropriate.

ProKidney Corp. Announces Positive Interim Regen-007 Phase 2 Trial Data and Provides Clinical and Operational Updates ProKidney Corp. announced positive interim results from the Phase 2 REGEN-007 trial evaluating the Company’s renal autologous cell therapy, rilparencel, in patients with CKD caused by diabetes and provided clinical and operational updates. Management will host a live webcast today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the data. REGEN-007 Phase 2 Trial Interim Efficacy & Safety Data: REGEN-007 is an ongoing multi-center Phase 2 open-label 1:1 randomized two-armed trial in patients with diabetes and CKD who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 - 50 mL/min/1.73m². At randomization, patients are allocated to two treatment groups using different dosing regimens. Group 1 replicates the dosing schedule for our Phase 3 clinical study program in which patients receive two rilparencel injections – one in each kidney, three months apart. Group 2 tests an exploratory dosing regimen to investigate whether physiological triggers, rather than a time-based trigger, could optimize multiple administrations of rilparencel. In Group 2, patients receive a single rilparencel dose in one kidney and a second dose in the contralateral kidney only if triggered by a sustained eGFR decline of = 20%, and/or an increase in the urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) from baseline of = 30% and = 30 mg/g. In Group 1, as of May 7, 2024, patients with at least 12 months follow-up after the second injection of rilparencel (n=13) show stabilized kidney function for 18 months (average eGFR change from baseline to 18 months was -1.3 ml/min/1.73m2). Importantly, similar results were observed in a subset of these patients (n=10) who met key inclusion criteria currently used in our Phase 3 clinical study program (average eGFR change from baseline to 18 months was -0.6 ml/min/1.73m2). Additional analyses will be performed as Group 1 data matures. Twenty-five patients received at least one rilparencel injection in Group 2; 12 patients received a second rilparencel injection based on eGFR criteria (n=3) or UACR criteria (n=9). Patients in Group 2 who received two injections are scheduled to have up to 18 months of follow-up after their second injection. No rilparencel-related serious adverse events were observed across all patients in the study who received at least one rilparencel injection (n=49). Price Target Changed • Jun 13

ProKidney Announces Publication of Trial Design for Phase 2 Multicenter Clinical Trial of React for Late Stage 4 Diabetes-Related Chronic Kidney Disease ProKidney Corp. announced the publication of the trial design and early data analysis from REGEN-003, a Phase 2 clinical study of Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT(R)), in the Journal of Blood Purification. The paper, titled Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT) in Type 2 Diabetes with Late Stage 4 Diabetes-Related Chronic Kidney Disease: Trial Design and Early Analysis, was published online and will appear later this year in the print edition of the Journal (DOI: doi.org/10.1159/000527582). REGEN-003 is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial that enrolled a total of ten adults with pre-renal failure resulting from type 2 DKD (kidney function measured by eGFR of 14-20 ml/min/1.73 m²). Following a percutaneous kidney biopsy and ex vivo expansion of Selected Renal Cells (SRCs) that form REACT, the REACT product was injected into the cortex of the biopsied kidney with CT image guidance. Nine participants received two doses of the REACT product at 6-month intervals; one participant received only one injection. A 6-month observation pre-trial was required to establish patients’ “own” baseline and rate of DKD progression. No product-related serious adverse events occurred, and two procedure-related hematomas required observation without transfusion or angiographic interventions. At the time of this early analysis, dialysis was delayed a mean of 16 months (range 6-28 months). At 15 months, two patients (20%) had preservation of their kidney function and had not advanced to renal replacement therapy. One patient died due to complications related to COVID, and an additional subject died due to a myocardial infarction approximately 18 months after enrollment. Board Change • Nov 16
