Sequana Medical’s alfapump® System Featured in Presentation at 2025 Portal Intervention Symposium




Sequana Medical’s alfapump® System Featured in Presentation at 2025 Portal Intervention Symposium

Dr. Rahul Patel of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai presented “alfapump®: Totally Implantable Peritoneal Drain Pump with Urinary Bladder Drainage”

Ghent, Belgium – September 30, 2025 – Sequana Medical NV (Euronext Brussels: SEQUA, the “Company” or “Sequana Medical”), a pioneer in the treatment of drug-resistant fluid overload in liver disease, heart failure and cancer, today announced that the alfapump® System was featured in a podium presentation at the 2025 Portal Intervention Symposium in Chicago, IL. The presentation, titled “alfapump®: Totally Implantable Peritoneal Drain Pump with Urinary Bladder Drainage,” focused on the surgical and technical aspects of the alfapump implant procedure for interventional radiologists.

Dr. Rahul Patel, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who presented at the symposium, commented: “The alfapump system represents a significant advancement in the management of recurrent or refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis. From an intervention perspective, the implant procedure builds on established interventional radiology techniques while providing patients with a new treatment option. The ability to continuously and automatically remove ascites from the abdomen into the bladder offers our patients freedom from the burden of repeated large volume paracentesis procedures.”

Dr. Gijs Klarenbeek, Chief Medical Officer of Sequana Medical, continued: “We are delighted to see the alfapump system featured at this important specialty conference for the interventional radiology community. This presentation will raise awareness of the alfapump amongst the interventional radiologist community and is key in ensuring they have the knowledge and confidence to offer this innovative device to their patients. For too long, many patients with recurrent or refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis have had to put up with a standard of care that has changed little in over 2,000 years. The alfapump is a 21^st century solution recognising that cirrhosis is increasingly a mainstream disease and patients are demanding and deserving better treatment options.”

The alfapump® system received U.S. FDA Premarket Approval in December 2024 for the treatment of recurrent or refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis. It is the first active implantable medical device in the U.S. that automatically and continuously removes ascites from the abdomen into the bladder.

About Sequana Medical

Sequana Medical NV is a pioneer in treating fluid overload, a serious and frequent clinical complication in patients with liver disease, heart failure and cancer. This causes major medical issues including increased mortality, repeated hospitalizations, severe pain, difficulty breathing and restricted mobility. Although diuretics are standard of care, they become ineffective, intolerable or exacerbate the problem in many patients. There are limited effective treatment options, resulting in poor clinical outcomes, high costs and a major impact on their quality of life. Sequana Medical is seeking to provide innovative treatment options for this large and growing “diuretic resistant” patient population. alfapump® and DSR® are Sequana Medical’s proprietary platforms that work with the body to treat diuretic-resistant fluid overload, and are intended to deliver major clinical and quality of life benefits for patients, while reducing costs for healthcare systems.

The Company received US FDA approval for the alfapump System for the treatment of recurrent or refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis in December 2024, following the grant of FDA Breakthrough Device Designation in 2019. In Sequana Medical’s POSEIDON study, a landmark study across 18 centers in the US and Canada, the pivotal cohort of 40 patients implanted with the alfapump showed at 6 and 24 months post-implantation the virtual elimination of therapeutic paracentesis and an improvement in quality of life^1,2.

Sequana Medical has commenced US commercialisation through a small specialty salesforce initially targeting US liver transplant centers – 90 of these centers perform more than 90% of US liver transplants annually. CMS has approved the New Technology Add-on Payment for the alfapump when performed in the hospital inpatient setting as of October 1, 2025.

Results of the Company’s RED DESERT and SAHARA proof-of-concept studies in heart failure published in European Journal of Heart Failure in April 2024 support DSR’s mechanism of action as breaking the vicious cycle of cardiorenal syndrome. All three patients from the non-randomized cohort of MOJAVE, a US randomized controlled multi-center Phase 1/2a clinical study, have been successfully treated with DSR, resulting in a dramatic improvement in diuretic response and virtual elimination of loop diuretic requirements.³ The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board approved the start of the randomized MOJAVE cohort of up to a further 30 patients, which is dependent on securing additional financing.

Sequana Medical is listed on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels (Ticker: SEQUA.BR) and headquartered in Ghent, Belgium. For further information, please visit www.sequanamedical.com.

Thousands of State of Georgia employees walk 880 million steps to benefit Title I schools

State Health Benefit Plan members come together to help young Georgians in their communities while improving their personal health

‘Jump Shot for Health’ awards winning schools new sports equipment and renovated basketball courts; initiative made possible by Sharecare, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, CVS Caremark, United Healthcare, Good Sports, and the Atlanta Hawks

ATLANTA, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sharecare and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia jointly announced today the winners¹ of Jump Shot for Health, a four-month statewide steps challenge that encouraged State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) members to engage in daily movement while supporting Georgia Title I schools².

Open to all members of the Be Well SHBP® well-being program — including public school teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, state agency employees, and legislators as well as members’ covered dependents — Jump Shot for Health ran from January 15 through May 15, 2025. Over that time, participants tracked their daily steps through the Sharecare app, and allocated them to one of 27 participating school “teams.” At the conclusion of the challenge, more than 2,600 Georgians logged nearly 880 million steps, with 12 percent of participants surpassing one million steps individually.

“Throughout the Jump Shot for Health challenge, we were blown away by how passionately SHBP members across the state stepped up and set such an important example of what it means to share care – for yourself as well as the communities in which we live, work, learn, and play,” said Dawn Whaley, president and chief marketing officer of Sharecare. “The success of this initiative also highlights the power of partnership, and we are proud to work alongside SHBP, Anthem, CVS Caremark, UnitedHealthcare, Good Sports, and the Hawks to empower people across the Peach State to live healthier, happier lives.”

Grand prize winner #1: West End Elementary (Rome, GA)
Averaging nearly 585,000 steps per person over the 120 days of the challenge, West End Elementary led all participating schools, logging more than 102 million steps across 175 team members. One in four West End participants surpassed one million steps, and the school recorded the highest number of million-step achievers statewide. West End custodian Brenda Vandermark topped the school’s leaderboard with more than 3.4 million steps during the challenge, followed by teacher’s aide Kathryn Rains with more than 2.5 million steps, and Principal Dr. Dennis Drummond with more than 2.1 million steps. As the winning team in the Jump Shot for Health challenge, West End will receive a basketball court renovation³ and be celebrated at a special court unveiling ‘pep rally.’

Grand prize winner #2: Harmony Elementary (Monroe, GA)
With an average of 557,000 steps per participant, Harmony Elementary ranked second in Jump Shot for Health and will also receive a basketball court renovation³. Over the course of the challenge, Harmony achieved strong engagement across its 136 team members who walked a total of nearly 76 million steps. Twenty-two percent of participants exceeded one million steps, and the school’s weekly steps average increased by more than 76,000 during the final leg of the challenge. Tapping into the power of their school community, staff formed walking groups to promote daily activity, and one participant reported improved health outcomes that included no longer needing A1C medication. Top team contributors for Harmony included the school’s bookkeeper, Holly Roberts, with 2.4 million steps, and teachers Twilia Minshew and Cheryl Ebanks-Manning with 2.127 and 2.125 million steps, respectively.

“At Anthem, we believe healthy communities start with engaged individuals, and Jump Shot for Health is a perfect example,” said Robert Bunch, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia. “We’re proud to support this initiative that not only empowered State Health Benefit Plan members to prioritize their own well-being, but also helped create lasting, positive change for students in Georgia’s schools. It’s a win for personal health and a slam dunk for our communities.”

Three additional schools who competed in Jump Shot for Health will receive basketball equipment courtesy of the nonprofit Good Sports:

• Third place: Oakland Elementary School (McDonough, GA) with 477,649 average steps per participant; 69 participants walked a total of 32,957,822 steps

• Most improved: Annistown Elementary School (Snellville, GA) with 316,949 average steps per participant; 105 participants walked a total of 33,279,683 steps

“With each literal step they took throughout the Jump Shot for Health challenge, SHBP members across the state showed their unwavering commitment to fostering a positive campus experience for deserving young Georgians, and in the process, they demonstrably improved their personal well-being and inspired others to do the same,” said Louis Amis, executive director of SHBP, a division within the Georgia Department of Community Health. “We are grateful to the organizations that made this healthy competition possible, and are excited to unveil the grand prize winners’ fully renovated basketball courts in the upcoming academic schoolyear.”

Jump Shot for Health is made possible by the generous support of Sharecare, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, CVS Caremark, UnitedHealthcare, Good Sports, and the Atlanta Hawks.
