Mountain Valley MD Provides Year-End Business Update, Advances Commercialization Across Core Platforms




Mountain Valley MD Provides Year-End Business Update, Advances Commercialization Across Core Platforms

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD”) (CSE: MVMD) (OTCQB: MVMDF) (FRA: 20MP) provides a year-end business update on its commercialization progress across its three core areas of focus:

1. Nutraceuticals – Innovations through the Company’s Quicksome™ technology, designed to improve the administration and efficacy of nutraceutical health and wellness products;
2. Agriculture – The Company’s licensed Agrarius agricultural plant signaling technology, designed to organically drive increased crop yields, reduce fertilizer and pesticide usage where desired, and enhance plant health; and
3. Husbandry Animals and Aquatic Species – The application of solubilized drug formulations through the Company’s Quicksol™ technology, designed to positively impact the health of husbandry animals and aquatic species.

“Throughout 2025, we have remained focused on disciplined execution across each of our business lines,” said Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD. “We believe the progress we have made in product development, field validation, and commercial foundations positions the Company for the next phase of measured growth.”

NUTRACEUTICALS

Quicksome™ Technology, Commercialization, and Business Development Progress

MVMD’s patented liposomal Quicksome™ technology uses proprietary formulations and stabilizing agents to encapsulate active ingredients with the goal of optimizing molecule delivery in sublingual nutraceutical applications. The Company’s Quicksome™ platform continues to focus on delivering molecules where enhanced efficacy, precise dosing, reduced variability, and dose sparing are valued.

“Our Quicksome™ technology continues to demonstrate to us its adaptability across multiple product formulations,” Mr. Hancock noted. “We believe the platform’s delivery characteristics and dose-sparing potential remain compelling for partners seeking differentiated products in competitive wellness categories.”

MVMD continues to advance its nutraceutical strategy through its exclusive manufacturing and licensing arrangement with a U.S.-based GMP production partner (the “Lead Manufacturer”), which maintains GMP and OTC drug manufacturing capabilities and has installed proprietary equipment to support Quicksome™ sublingual and dermal formulations.

The Lead Manufacturer continues to work with the Company to support production obligations under MVMD’s license agreement with Circadian Wellness Corp. (“Circadian”), as well as MVMD’s proprietary “Mountains Of…” product line and other business development initiatives. During 2025, scaled production and commercial activity continued for Circadian’s “Eons Dialed” and “Eons Deeper Sleep” sublingual products, both incorporating Quicksome™ technology. Circadian reported continued positive consumer reception and sales volumes of its Quicksome™-based products during the year.

In parallel, MVMD has continued business development initiatives to secure additional nutraceutical licensing partnerships through the development of novel formulation work for new clients in multiple human benefit areas including novel hot flash and night sweat symptoms relief in peri menopausal and post-menopausal women, post-workout muscle recovery, anti-inflammation, and joint health. The Company also remains engaged with a U.S.-based multi-level marketing client for a novel fenugreek glycosides testosterone formulation utilizing Quicksome™ quick-dissolve tablet technology. The formulation has supported documented performance in male subjects, and iterative product evaluations related to taste and dissolution have continued, with commercial discussions expected to advance as partner review processes progress. Additional client discussions have taken place in the fourth quarter and the Company expects the launch of a fenugreek glycosides testosterone formulation through a licensee in the first half of 2026.

The Company’s “Mountains Of…” proprietary brand continues to hold U.S. trademark protection across multiple product categories, including Sleep, Energy, Relief, Libido, and Lean, to support ongoing GMP sample development and business development activities. Distribution partners may elect to market MVMD’s branded products or pursue proprietary white-label versions under their own brands.

AGRICULTURE

Agrarius Business Development and Commercialization Progress

“We believe the continued validation of Agrarius across diverse crops and geographies reinforces its potential role in sustainable agricultural practices,” said Mr. Hancock. “Our focus remains on building a strong, data-driven foundation to support long-term commercial adoption.”

MVMD continues to advance commercialization in its agricultural division, which is focused on the licensed distribution of the Agrarius™ plant signaling technology. Under its exclusive license agreement with Agrarius Corp. (“AC”), MVMD holds the exclusive rights to sell the Agrarius product throughout North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean (the “Exclusive Territory”).

The Agrarius product is mixed with water or other agricultural inputs at the point of application and applied via sprayer at targeted stages of a plant’s lifecycle. Agrarius has been tested across numerous crops and has demonstrated its ability to naturally increase yields, improve plant resilience, and support reduced fertilizer usage, with results varying by crop and environment.

Brazil Citrus Trials, Including Positive Younger Tree Results

MVMD has been working with a client-directed third-party agricultural partner, FARMATAC, in Brazil to assess the impact of the application of the Agrarius product on both mature and young citrus orchards. FARMATAC has extensive experience designing and managing advanced citrus trials and has completed the contracted evaluations in commercial citrus orchards.

The Company previously reported the following results from mature Hamlin and Valencia orange trees:

• Hamlin Variety: Agrarius-treated orchards demonstrated improved plant condition and a productivity increase of approximately 15% per hectare. Juice yield analysis showed that the treated oranges required 20 fewer boxes to produce one ton of juice compared to the control, resulting in an approximate total yield increase of 22%. Independent agronomists also observed a visual reduction in symptoms associated with Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease.
• Valencia Variety: The Agrarius-treated block achieved a 49% average yield increase. Treated trees also exhibited stronger vigor and canopy density, consistent with improved nutrient uptake and photosynthetic activity.

Building on the mature orchard results, newly completed trials on additional citrus blocks, including younger orchards and additional varietals at the client’s site, have now demonstrated further compelling outcomes. In trials that included treatments on younger trees, Agrarius-treated areas showed materially stronger plant vigor, improved flowering and fruit set, enhanced resilience to stress, including during periods of drier growing conditions, and significantly higher productivity when compared to control blocks. Notably, productivity gains of greater than 50 percent were recorded in Pera varietals, alongside results consistent with prior Hamlin and Valencia performance, reinforcing the potential lifecycle impact of Agrarius when applied earlier in orchard development and its potential role in helping mitigate yield variability under increasingly challenging climatic conditions.

“The Brazil citrus trial demonstrates to us that Agrarius™, under real farm conditions and third-party monitoring, delivered substantial yield improvements, stronger plant health, and meaningful mitigation of Greening stress in citrus,” continued Hancock. “Our agronomy team recently reviewed the trial results with the client’s leadership team and it is believed the findings will support commercial expansion in 2026, positioning Agrarius as a high-impact, low-disruption tool for Brazilian citriculture.”

The Company believes that the continued observation of reduced visible HLB symptoms across its Brazil citrus programs, including in younger orchards, represents one of the most meaningful indicators emerging from its citrus field work to date. These results are consistent with citrus trials previously reported by the Company and support the potential lifecycle relevance of Agrarius in orchards impacted by citrus greening disease.

“HLB has fundamentally altered citrus production in many regions, and producers still face the reality that there is no known cure,” said Hancock. “Seeing similar trends not only in mature trees but also in younger orchards strengthens our view that, if sustained, Agrarius could become an important organic tool to help growers manage greening pressure while building healthier, more productive orchards over time.”

Broad Crop Validation and LATAM Expansion

In addition to citrus, Agrarius trials conducted during the year across key crops in Brazil and Colombia in partnership with universities, private agronomy labs, and farmer networks continued to demonstrate to the Company positive outcomes, including:

• Corn – Yield gains of approximately 14.8 percent and 11.2 percent in UNESP trials, associated with improved chlorophyll concentration and root development.
• Sugarcane – Yield improvements of 8 to 12 tons per hectare, increased sugar content, and reduced pest damage in Agroquatro trials, alongside improved early development in seedling clone studies.
• Soybeans – Average yield gains of 6.34 sacs per hectare across 14 farmer validations, with high-performance producers achieving gains exceeding 15 percent.
• Cotton – Increases in bolls per plant and overall yield supported by improved photosynthetic efficiency.
• Potatoes – Productivity increases of approximately 18.5 percent in summer harvest trials.

Of particular note, during extended dry periods observed in Brazil field programs, Agrarius-treated crops experienced notably lower yield losses than untreated controls, supporting the product’s potential to improve water-use efficiency and maintain productivity under drought stress as part of an integrated agronomic program.

“The recent citrus trialing activity has produced results that reinforce what we are seeing across multiple crops in Brazil, that Agrarius is not only driving yield improvement, but also helping plants stay productive when conditions are less than ideal,” continued Hancock. “In markets where growers face increasing climate variability, this kind of resilience can be just as important as top-line yield gains.”

In Colombia, MVMD is completing its large-scale pasture grass productivity program in partnership with FEDEGAN, the national cattle growers’ federation representing approximately 43 million hectares of pastureland, and the National University of Colombia, with preliminary results demonstrating improved vegetation health, faster regrowth, and enhanced pasture quality, supported by satellite analysis and laboratory validation. Final results are expected in the first quarter of 2026.

HUSBANDRY ANIMALS / AQUATIC SPECIES

Soluvec™ 1% Commercialization Update and Strategic Review

MVMD has applied its patented Quicksol™ solubilization technology to ivermectin to create its Soluvec™ 1% formulation, which was designed to provide a safer and more effective solution for administration across husbandry animals and aquatic species. The Soluvec™ 1% formulation has demonstrated nine-month stability at room and refrigerated temperatures through third-party validation and remains the Company’s primary Quicksol™-based commercial asset.

The Company’s commercialization strategy for Soluvec™ 1% has been to advance the technology through third-party licensing. In Bangladesh, MVMD entered into an exclusive license agreement with an arm’s length, privately held partner to manufacture and distribute Soluvec™ 1% products in injectable and feed coating formats, in return for royalty payments based on net sales. As previously disclosed, the licensee has produced approximately 200 tonnes of Soluvec™ 1% coated fish feed and distributed product through local channels.

While this activity represented an important first step in demonstrating large-scale manufacturing and application of the Soluvec™ formulation, royalty revenues and overall commercial traction during 2025 have remained below management’s expectations. External market disruption, including impacts from Cyclone Remal in 2024, has affected industry conditions in the region, and MVMD continues to assess the most effective pathway to advance broader adoption of the technology.

“We continue to believe in the strength of the underlying science and formulation behind Soluvec™,” stated Hancock. “At the same time, we recognize that realizing its commercial potential requires partners with the right operational scale, market reach, and strategic alignment.”

As part of its assessment, the Company is undertaking a strategic review of its Soluvec™ 1% licensing structure, including evaluating options to modify or restructure territorial exclusivity in Bangladesh, subject to contractual rights and ongoing discussions between relevant parties. The objective is to ensure MVMD has the flexibility to work with partners best positioned to drive effective commercialization.

With a continued focus on disciplined capital allocation, MVMD intends to prioritize low-capital, royalty-based licensing opportunities for Soluvec™ 1% rather than direct investment in manufacturing or market buildout. In this context, management has initiated discussions with potential new licensees in Latin America, where demand for scalable and cost-effective husbandry and aquaculture health solutions remains significant and where the Company’s patent strategy supports future commercial development.

Global interest in Soluvec™ continues in management’s view, supported by the Company’s peer-reviewed data demonstrating improved bioavailability, efficacy, and stability relative to conventional ivermectin formulations. While the Company does not anticipate near-term material revenues until additional licensing arrangements are secured, MVMD believes that a more selective and partner-aligned approach can better position Soluvec™ for sustainable royalty growth over time.

“Soluvec™ remains an important asset for the Company, and we are working to align it with partners who can advance this opportunity effectively as we move into 2026,” Hancock added.

FDA Approves Omeros’ YARTEMLEA® – First and Only Therapy Indicated for TA-TMA




FDA Approves Omeros’ YARTEMLEA® – First and Only Therapy Indicated for TA-TMA

– Omeros to Host Conference Call Monday, December 29, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. ET – 

• First and only approved option: YARTEMLEA^® is the only approved treatment for hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) and is indicated for adults and children ages two years and older.
• High complete response (CR) rates: YARTEMLEA-treated patients achieved CR rates of 61% in the pivotal trial and 68% in the Expanded Access Program (EAP) among those with evaluable patient-level response data; CR defined as improvement in key laboratory values plus either improved organ function or transfusion independence.
• Strong survival benefit: 100-day survival from TA-TMA diagnosis, based on all-cause mortality, was 73% in the pivotal trial and 74% in evaluable EAP patients; all patients met international harmonization criteria for high-risk TA-TMA.
• Safety profile and Prescribing Information highlights: The only approved TA-TMA therapy, YARTEMLEA has no Boxed Warning and no Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), and vaccinations are not required prior to treatment. Serious infections and other adverse reactions, regardless of causality, have occurred in patients treated with YARTEMLEA; see Important Safety Information for details.

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved YARTEMLEA^® (narsoplimab-wuug) for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), an often-fatal complication of stem-cell transplantation driven by activation of the lectin pathway of complement. YARTEMLEA is the first and only approved lectin pathway inhibitor. YARTEMLEA selectively inhibits MASP-2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, blocking pathway activation while preserving classical and alternative complement functions important for host defense. YARTEMLEA is approved for use in adults and in children ages two years and older.

“This approval is a long-awaited breakthrough in hematopoietic cell transplantation and TA-TMA care,” stated Miguel-Angel Perales, M.D., Chief of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “Until now, we’ve lacked an effective TA-TMA therapy and relied largely on supportive measures such as modifying calcineurin inhibitors, which can significantly increase the risk of life-threatening graft-versus-host disease. Based on a compelling data package, narsoplimab delivers robust response rates and improved survival in TA-TMA, with a favorable benefit-risk profile and a safety profile consistent with that seen in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. As the first and only drug approved for TA-TMA, narsoplimab is a practice-changing advance for patients facing this devastating complication.”

Approval of YARTEMLEA was based on results from a single-arm, open-label study in adults with TA-TMA (the TA-TMA Study; N=28), supported by additional data from an expanded access program (EAP; N=221 adult and pediatric patients). In the EAP, 19 patients (13 adult and 6 pediatric) had evaluable patient-level response data.

Efficacy was assessed by TMA complete response (CR), defined as improvement in key laboratory markers of TMA (platelet counts and LDH levels) together with either improved organ function or transfusion independence. CR was achieved in 17/28 patients (61%) in the TA-TMA Study and 13/19 evaluable EAP patients (68%). Across the TA-TMA Study and the EAP, 100-day survival from the time of TMA diagnosis (based on all-cause mortality) was 73% (95% confidence interval CI: 52, 86) and 74% (95% CI: 48, 88), respectively. All patients met international harmonization criteria for high-risk TA-TMA, classifying each patient as having a poor prognosis and high risk of death.

In peer-reviewed publications, treatment with YARTEMLEA was associated with a three- to fourfold lower risk of mortality compared with an external control cohort.¹ In the EAP, YARTEMLEA was used both as first-line therapy and in high-risk TA-TMA patients who had failed or discontinued one or more prior regimens, namely off-label complement inhibitors and/or defibrotide. In these previously refractory high-risk patients, YARTEMLEA was associated with 50 percent one-year survival, compared with historical one-year survival rates reported as less than 20 percent.^{2 3 4 5}

“Just as in adults, YARTEMLEA’s indication to treat TA-TMA in children two years of age and older is tremendously important,” said Michelle Schoettler, M.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatric Oncology and Hematopoietic Cellular Therapy at Emory University. “Peer-reviewed clinical publications in TA-TMA have steadily advanced our understanding of the disease in children – its biology, diagnostic criteria, and increasing recognition – and have revealed the limitations and risks of relying on off-label options in this setting. Across the published pediatric experience, YARTEMLEA has produced strong and consistent benefit, including in very high-risk children with organ dysfunction and in those who have failed prior complement-inhibition therapy. When used first-line, YARTEMLEA has been associated with approximately 75 percent one-year survival; and even in children refractory to one or more off-label complement inhibitors, one-year survival is approximately triple historical rates that have remained below 20 percent. My clinical experience with YARTEMLEA through the expanded access program, including in very young patients, has reinforced that it needs to be readily available for children when TA-TMA emerges. With this approval, effective TA-TMA therapy can become the pediatric standard instead of the exception – and that will save children’s lives.”

All patients in the TA-TMA Study had multiple risk factors for poor outcomes, and adverse reactions were reported regardless of causality or relatedness to YARTEMLEA. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were viral infections, sepsis, hemorrhage, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, neutropenia, pyrexia, fatigue, and hypokalemia. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 61% of YARTEMLEA-treated patients; those reported in >5% included acute kidney injury, confusional state, acute respiratory failure, neutropenic sepsis, septic shock, pulmonary edema, and vomiting. Fatal adverse reactions were reported in 7% of patients, including neutropenic sepsis and septic shock. No new clinically significant safety signals were identified in patients treated with YARTEMLEA in the EAP.

Following FDA approval of YARTEMLEA, Omeros is finalizing preparations for its U.S. product launch planned for January 2026. Dedicated U.S. billing and reimbursement codes are now in place, including:

• Diagnosis Code: ICD-10-CM code M31.11 specific to the diagnosis of “Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy”
• Procedure Codes: ICD-10-PCS codes XW03357 and XW04357 for introduction of narsoplimab monoclonal antibody into a peripheral vein or into a central vein, respectively

The YARTEMLEAssist™ patient support program is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2026. Providers and patient representatives can call 1-844-YARTEM1 (1-844-927-8361) for personalized services, including identifying potential financial assistance options.

“FDA’s approval of YARTEMLEA marks a defining milestone for Omeros and, more importantly, for patients and families facing TA-TMA,” said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. “After years of work and close collaboration with the transplant community, we can now offer the first FDA-approved therapy for this frequently fatal complication, with robust response data and a benefit-risk profile that supports confident use in both adults and children. With our U.S. launch planned for January 2026, our focus is on ensuring rapid, reliable access so that YARTEMLEA can be used when TA-TMA is recognized and time is critical. We are deeply grateful to the patients, caregivers, investigators, and clinical teams who made this approval possible, and we are committed to bringing YARTEMLEA to every eligible patient who needs it.”

TA-TMA can occur after both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with higher prevalence following allogeneic transplant. Approximately 30,000 allogeneic transplants are performed each year in the U.S. and Europe. Recent studies estimate that TA-TMA develops in up to 56 percent of allogeneic transplant recipients.

A marketing authorization application for YARTEMLEA for the treatment of TA-TMA is currently under review by the European Medicines Agency with a decision expected in mid-2026.

About YARTEMLEA^®

YARTEMLEA^® (narsoplimab-wuug), a fully human monoclonal antibody, is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. YARTEMLEA inhibits mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway. In hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation. By selectively blocking activation of the lectin pathway, YARTEMLEA preserves classical and alternative pathway activity, including functions essential to the adaptive immune response.

YARTEMLEA is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of TA-TMA in adults and in children ages two years and older. A marketing authorization application for YARTEMLEA for TA-TMA is under review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) with a decision expected in mid-2026.

YARTEMLEA has received breakthrough therapy and orphan drug designations from the FDA for TA-TMA, and the EMA has granted it orphan drug designation in hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.

YARTEMLEA is the first and only approved therapy for TA-TMA.

About Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children. TA-TMA is driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors, with activation of the lectin pathway of complement playing a central role in disease pathogenesis.

TA-TMA can occur following both autologous and allogeneic transplant, with higher prevalence after allogeneic procedures. Approximately 30,000 allogeneic transplants are performed annually in the U.S. and Europe. Recent studies estimate that TA-TMA develops in up to 56 percent of allogeneic transplant recipients. Mortality in severe TA-TMA can exceed 90 percent, and survivors frequently face long-term renal complications, including dialysis dependence.

YARTEMLEA^® is the only approved treatment for TA-TMA.

Repare Therapeutics Announces Acquisition of Polθ ATPase Inhibitor, RP-3467, by Gilead Sciences for Up To $30 Million in Total Consideration




Repare Therapeutics Announces Acquisition of Polθ ATPase Inhibitor, RP-3467, by Gilead Sciences for Up To $30 Million in Total Consideration

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & MONTREAL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RPTX), a clinical-stage precision oncology company, today announced a definitive asset purchase agreement for Gilead Sciences, Inc. to acquire Repare’s polymerase theta (Polθ) ATPase inhibitor, RP-3467 (the “Gilead Agreement”).

“We are pleased to announce this transaction which combines Gilead’s leading expertise in oncology research and development with RP-3467, a potential best-in-class Polθ ATPase inhibitor,” said Steve Forte, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Repare. “This marks the third and most significant portfolio transaction for Repare this year.”

Under the terms of the Gilead Agreement, Repare will receive up to $30 million in total consideration, including a $25 million upfront payment, subject to customary holdbacks and adjustments, and an additional $5 million payment upon completion of specified technology transfer activities.

On November 14, 2025, Repare announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with XenoTherapeutics, Inc. and Xeno Acquisition Corp. (jointly, “Xeno”), pursuant to which Xeno will acquire (the “Arrangement Transaction”) all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Repare (the “Common Shares”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Repare shareholders will receive a cash payment per Common Share that will be determined based upon Repare’s cash balance at closing of the Arrangement Transaction (the “Arrangement Closing”) after deducting certain transaction costs and the aggregate amount of outstanding liabilities (the “Closing Net Cash Amount”).

The upfront portion of the consideration payable under the Gilead Agreement has increased Repare’s cash balance and, therefore, has also increased the estimated Closing Net Cash Amount. Based on Repare’s revised estimate of the Closing Net Cash Amount, it is now currently estimated that each Repare shareholder will receive a cash payment of approximately US$2.20 per Common Share at the Arrangement Closing.

FDA Approves Genentech’s Lunsumio VELO™ for Subcutaneous Use in Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma




FDA Approves Genentech’s Lunsumio VELO™ for Subcutaneous Use in Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

– Lunsumio VELO reduces administration time from 2-4 hours to approximately one minute –

– Availability of Lunsumio VELO allows treatment aligned to people’s clinical needs and personal preferences –

– Approval supported by data demonstrating compelling complete response rate in third-line or later follicular lymphoma, which typically becomes harder to treat after each relapse –

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved CD20xCD3 bispecific Lunsumio VELO^™ (mosunetuzumab-axgb), as a subcutaneous (SC) formulation, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy, based on results from the Phase I/II GO29781 study. Based on the study results, Lunsumio VELO is approved under accelerated approval. Full approval for this regimen may be contingent on verification and confirmation of benefit in a confirmatory trial.

“Since follicular lymphoma often requires lifelong management, reducing the burden of care for these individuals is of paramount importance,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. “With this FDA approval, treatment can now be administered in just one minute, which significantly reduces the time patients spend in the clinic and helps to align care with their individual needs and preferences.”

Lunsumio VELO reduces administration time with an approximately one-minute injection, compared with a 2-4 hour intravenous (IV) infusion. Like Lunsumio administered intravenously, Lunsumio VELO can be administered outpatient and is a fixed-duration treatment given for a defined period, which could be as short as six months. By contrast, treat-to-progression treatment options are designed to be given to patients indefinitely until disease progression or until treatment can no longer be tolerated.

“This approval is a significant step in broadening access to effective treatments for people living with follicular lymphoma,” said Dr. Ian Flinn, M.D., Ph.D., Tennessee Oncology and One Oncology. “With its manageable cytokine release syndrome profile and reduced administration time, Lunsumio VELO enables oncologists to deliver advanced care in community practice settings.”

The FDA approval is supported by the primary analysis of the GO29781 study that evaluated Lunsumio VELO in patients with third-line or later (3L+) FL. Results showed the objective response rate and complete response rate in patients treated with Lunsumio VELO were 75% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 64–83%) and 59% (95% CI: 48–69%), respectively. The median duration of response was 22.4 months (95% CI: 16.8–22.8). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were injection site reactions, fatigue, rash, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain and diarrhea. The CRS rate was 30% and events were mostly low grade (Grade 1–2, 28%; Grade 3, 2.1%), occurred during Cycle 1, and all resolved after a median duration of two days (range: 1–15). CRS can be severe and life-threatening.

Lunsumio IV was the first bispecific antibody approved for 3L+ FL. Long-term data from the SC and IV arms of the GO29781 study were presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition.

These data have been submitted to other healthcare authorities around the world. Recently, the European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization of Lunsumio SC for the treatment of adult patients with R/R FL after two or more lines of systemic therapy.

Genentech continues to advance its bispecific antibody program in lymphoma, with ongoing Phase III studies evaluating Lunsumio and Lunsumio VELO in earlier lines of treatment. This includes the SUNMO study investigating Lunsumio VELO in combination with Polivy^® (polatuzumab vedotin-piiq) in second-line or later large B-cell lymphoma, and the MorningLyte study investigating Lunsumio VELO in combination with lenalidomide in previously untreated FL.

Genentech is committed to helping patients get the medicine their doctor prescribed. For people who qualify, Genentech plans to offer patient assistance programs through Genentech Access Solutions. More information is also available at 866-4ACCESS/866-422-2377 or http://www.Genentech-Access.com.

About the GO29781 Study

The GO29781 [NCT02500407] study is a Phase I/II, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of mosunetuzumab-axgb administered both as an intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) treatment, in people with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The efficacy of Lunsumio VELO was established on the basis of objective response rate and duration of response.

About Follicular Lymphoma (FL)

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common slow-growing (indolent) form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for about one in five cases. It typically responds well to treatment but is often characterized by periods of remission and relapse. The disease typically becomes harder to treat each time a patient relapses and early progression can be associated with poor long-term prognosis. It is estimated that, in the United States, approximately 13,000 new cases of FL will be diagnosed in 2025 and more than 110,000 people are diagnosed with FL each year worldwide.

About Lunsumio VELO^™ (mosunetuzumab-axgb)

Lunsumio VELO^™ is a subcutaneous formulation of mosunetuzumab-axgb, a CD20xCD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD20 on the surface of B cells and CD3 on the surface of T cells. This dual-targeting activates and redirects a patient’s existing T cells to engage and eliminate target B cells by releasing cytotoxic proteins into the B cells. Lunsumio VELO is being investigated as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines, for the treatment of people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma, and other indications.

Lunsumio and Lunsumio VELO U.S. Indication

LUNSUMIO (mosunetuzumab-axgb) or LUNSUMIO VELO is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with follicular lymphoma whose cancer has come back or did not respond to previous treatment, and who have already received two or more treatments.

It is not known if LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO is safe and effective in children.

The conditional approval for this use is based on response rate. There are ongoing studies to establish how well the drug works.

Important Safety Information

What is the most important information I should know about LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO?

LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO can cause Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), a serious side effect that is common during treatment with LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO, and can also be severe or life-threatening.

About Polivy^® (polatuzumab vedotin-piiq)

Polivy is a first-in-class anti-CD79b antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The CD79b protein is expressed specifically in the majority of B cells, an immune cell impacted in some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), making it a promising target for the development of new therapies. Polivy binds to cancer cells such as CD79b and destroys these B cells through the delivery of an anti-cancer agent, which is thought to minimize the effects on normal cells. Polivy is being developed by Genentech using Pfizer ADC technology and is currently being investigated for the treatment of several types of NHL.

Polivy U.S. Indication

Polivy is a prescription medicine used with other medicines (a rituximab product, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone) as a first treatment for adults who have moderate to high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (NOS) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL).

Polivy is a prescription medicine used with other medicines, bendamustine and a rituximab product, to treat DLBCL in adults who have progressed after at least 2 prior therapies.

QIAGEN Announces Details for Completion of Synthetic Share Repurchase of up to Approximately $500 Million




QIAGEN Announces Details for Completion of Synthetic Share Repurchase of up to Approximately $500 Million

• Return of approximately $500 million – maximum approved by shareholders – set to be completed on January 7, 2026

• Capital return to be conducted through synthetic share repurchase – combines a fast direct capital repayment to shareholders with a reverse stock split that enhances EPS

• QIAGEN delivers well ahead of schedule on its commitment to return at least $1 billion through end-2028, considering additional ways to increase returns in 2026 and beyond

VENLO, Netherlands–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$QGEN #QIAGEN–QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced details for completion of plans to return approximately $500 million to shareholders through a synthetic share repurchase that combines a direct capital repayment to QIAGEN shareholders with a reverse stock split.

QIAGEN announced in November 2025 plans for the repurchase, which comes after QIAGEN has returned about $650 million to shareholders since the start of 2024 through a synthetic share repurchase and the implementation of the first annual dividend payment in June 2025.

With the completion of this synthetic share repurchase in January 2026, QIAGEN will have delivered well ahead of schedule on its commitment to return at least $1 billion to shareholders by the end of 2028, and is considering additional measures to increase returns in 2026 and beyond.

Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in June 2025 gave virtually unanimous approval for resolutions to implement the $500 million repurchase. This approach is designed to return cash to shareholders in a faster and more efficient way than through a traditional open-market repurchase program. It also enhances earnings per share (EPS) through the reduction in outstanding shares.

The repayment from existing cash reserves is expected to lead to an approximately 5% reduction in the number of issued shares (based on current share price).

The terms of the synthetic share repurchase are as follows:

• Every 20 issued QIAGEN shares will be consolidated into 19 QIAGEN shares, leading to a reduction of approximately 10.9 million shares from the level of 217.7 million shares as of December 18, 2025.

• Following the implementation of the consolidation, QIAGEN will repay capital to shareholders of record $2.29 per pre-consolidation share. (As the par-value of QIAGEN shares is denominated in euros, the amount of the capital decrease and repayment in the respective notarial deeds will be denominated in euros. The payment, however, will be made in U.S. dollars.)

The last day of trading of the pre-split shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is planned to be Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

Beginning on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the consolidated QIAGEN shares, excluding the entitlement to the capital repayment, are expected to begin trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (QIA) and on the NYSE (QGEN) under the Company’s current ticker symbols.

The consolidated QIAGEN shares will carry the following new security identifiers:

ISIN: NL0015002SN0

CUSIP: N72482 156

WKN: A41HBE

Technical details regarding settlement mechanics

Shareholders holding their QIAGEN shares in brokerage accounts in the United States will have their holdings automatically consolidated in line with the consolidation ratio described above, whereby any fractional shares are planned to be sold and proceeds deposited in their account, effective as of close of business at 4:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 (the “Effective Date” and the last trading day of the prior ISIN / CUSIP / WKN).

The capital repayment is planned to be made via Depository Trust Company to the respective brokerage accounts of the shareholders in the subsequent days. Unsettled market trades as of the Effective Date are planned to be reconciled by Depository Trust Company and settled in line with market practice.

For shareholders who hold their QIAGEN shares in Germany and elsewhere in Europe directly or indirectly via Clearstream Banking AG, these holdings are expected to be consolidated through their banks, brokers and custodians as of close of business European time on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. The capital repayment for these shareholders is expected to also be made in the subsequent days. Any fractional shares will be sold and deposited in their account.

Shareholders holding their QIAGEN shares in registered form directly at Equiniti (formerly American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“AST”)) are planned to have their holdings automatically consolidated in line with the consolidation ratio described above by processing in the register held by Equiniti, effective as of the Effective Date, and receive the capital repayment in their bank account known to the Company.

Shareholders are advised to consult with their bank or broker with any questions on the reverse stock split and the capital repayment.

Shareholders with questions about their tax status are advised to consult with their local tax advisor.
