Milestone Receives FDA Approval of CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) as First and Only Self-Administered Nasal Spray for Adults with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT)

• First FDA approved treatment in 30+ years for more than 2 million Americans with PSVT 
• Novel nasal spray designed to rapidly resolve episodes of PSVT and restore sinus rhythm
• FDA approval in PSVT enables development of AFib-RVR under sNDA pathway
• Milestone well-capitalized to launch and commercialize CARDAMYST with existing capital and royalty financing
• Conference call and webcast December 15, 8:00 a.m. ET

MONTREAL and CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milestone^® Pharmaceuticals Inc.  (Nasdaq: MIST) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its first commercial product, CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray, a prescription medication for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults. This approval marks the first time that more than two million Americans with PSVT will have a rapid-acting treatment option they can self-administer outside the emergency department or other healthcare setting. CARDAMYST is expected to be available in retail pharmacies in the first quarter of 2026.

CARDAMYST nasal spray is a novel and rapid-acting calcium channel blocker delivered when needed to treat often highly symptomatic and unpredictable episodes of PSVT. With CARDAMYST, adults with PSVT can be prepared wherever and whenever episodes occur, providing them with active management and a greater sense of control of their condition.

“CARDAMYST is a novel at-the-ready treatment option that addresses the unpredictable impact of PSVT by offering patients the freedom to manage episodes anytime and anywhere,” said Joseph Oliveto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Pharmaceuticals. “The FDA approval of CARDAMYST is a watershed moment for Milestone and a gratifying event for our team members, patients, clinical investigators, and health care providers who participated in the development program, all of whom I sincerely thank for their dedication, counsel, and collaboration toward this important achievement.”

“Some people with PSVT have endured years of anxiety, fearing their next episode and the stress and disruption of emergency department visits,” said James Ip, M.D., FACC, FHRS, an etripamil investigator. “CARDAMYST will give many of them the ability to administer a medication themselves that can quickly stop their PSVT episode and potentially avoid a hospital trip or a call to emergency services.”

CARDAMYST Clinical Data

The FDA approval of CARDAMYST is supported by a robust clinical trial program based on safety data from more than 1,800 participants and more than 2,000 episodes of PSVT. This includes the successful Phase 3 RAPID trial, a global, randomized, double-blind comparison of CARDAMYST vs. placebo, published in The Lancet in 2023. In clinical studies, participants using CARDAMYST were two times more likely to convert symptomatic PSVT to sinus rhythm and did so more than three times faster compared with placebo. The RAPID trial achieved its primary endpoint with 64% of those who self-administered CARDAMYST (N=99) converting from supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes compared to 31% on placebo (N=85) (HR = 2.62; p<0.001). At one hour, the benefit was demonstrated in 73% of participants. In addition, significant reductions in time to conversion in those who took CARDAMYST were evident early and durable, with a median time to conversion of 17 minutes (95% CI: 13.4, 26.5) for those treated with CARDAMYST vs. 54 minutes (95% CI: 38.7, 87.3) for those treated with placebo.

A consistent safety profile and treatment effects were observed across all subgroups, including participants concurrently on beta blockers or calcium channel blockers. The most frequent adverse events occurring in ≥5% of participants in randomized clinical trials were mild-to-moderate and transient in nature, including local-site nasal discomfort, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, throat irritation, and epistaxis. Less than 2% of trial participants discontinued therapy due to adverse events.

For more safety information about CARDAMYST, please see Important Safety Information below. For the latest information about the product availability, please see https://milestonepharma.com/.

PSVT, also called SVT, is characterized by episodes of abnormally fast heart rate. Most people with PSVT experience multiple sustained episodes that require treatment on an annual basis. Until now, successful treatment options typically required IV administration in healthcare settings, creating stress and costs for patients and their insurers. CARDAMYST offers a new approach to treat episodes of PSVT, enabling adults to self-administer the medication at the onset of symptoms. For more information, please visit SVTHearttoHeart.com.

“Our goal is that CARDAMYST will become a trusted and essential solution for healthcare providers and their patients,” said Lorenz Muller, Chief Commercial Officer of Milestone. “Our team is focused on making CARDAMYST available to adults with PSVT as quickly as possible, including actively working to secure insurance coverage and begin the distribution of the product through retail pharmacies.”

Annette Greene, CARDAMYST clinical trial participant and administrator of the Supraventricular Tachycardia Group on Facebook, with more than 30,000 members, said, “Adults with SVT have been waiting a long time for the day when they can confidently self-administer CARDAMYST to treat their SVT episodes. It is very exciting that the day has become a reality.”

Regarding future R&D, Milestone is poised to enter a Phase 3 program in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (AFib-RVR), particularly on the strength of the successful ReVeRA Phase 2 trial in AFib-RVR, results of which were published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. Incorporating FDA’s guidance, Milestone has developed a Phase 3 registrational program to evaluate self-administered etripamil as a potential treatment for patients with AFib-RVR. When completed, the Company will be following a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) regulatory approval pathway for a potential second indication for etripamil in AFib-RVR. As such, Milestone will leverage the approved PSVT indication and the PSVT program data, along with a single pivotal Phase 3 study in patients with AFib-RVR.

About Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia

An estimated two million people in the United States are currently diagnosed with PSVT, a type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. PSVT is characterized by episodes of sudden onset rapid heartbeats often exceeding 150 to 200 beats per minute. The heart rate spike is unpredictable and may last several hours. The rapid heart rate often causes disabling severe palpitations, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, dizziness or lightheadedness, and distress, forcing people with PSVT to limit their daily activities. The uncertainty of when an episode of PSVT will strike or how long it will persist can provoke anxiety and negatively impact the day-to-day life between episodes of people with PSVT. The impact and morbidity from an attack can be especially detrimental in people with underlying cardiovascular or medical conditions, such as heart failure, obstructive coronary disease, or dehydration. Many health care providers are dissatisfied with the lack of effective treatment options with people with PSVT, often requiring prolonged, burdensome, and costly trips to the emergency department or even invasive cardiac ablation procedures.

About Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Rate

An estimated ten million Americans suffer from atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common arrhythmia marked by an irregular, disruptive and often rapid heartbeat. A subset of patients with AFib experience episodes of abnormally high heart rate most often accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and weakness. While these episodes, known as AFib-RVR, may be treated by oral calcium channel blockers and/or beta blockers, patients frequently seek acute care in the emergency department to address symptoms. In 2016, nearly 800,000 patients were admitted to the emergency department due to AFib symptoms where treatment includes medically supervised intravenous administration of calcium channel blockers or beta blockers, or electrical cardioversion. With little available data for AFib-RVR, Milestone’s initial market research indicates that 30% to 40% of patients with AFib experience one or more symptomatic episodes of RVR per year that require treatment, suggesting a target addressable market of approximately three to four million patients in 2030 for etripamil in patients with AFib-RVR.

Indication

CARDAMYST is indicated for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR CARDAMYST (etripamil)

What is CARDAMYST?:

CARDAMYST is a prescription medicine used to help restore normal heart rhythm in adults who have symptoms of sudden episodes of fast heartbeat called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

It is not known if CARDAMYST is safe and effective in children.

Do use CARDAMYST if you:

• are allergic to CARDAMYST or any of its ingredients. See the Patient Information for a complete list of ingredients in CARDAMYST.
• have limitations in activities due to heart failure (moderate to severe heart failure).
• have Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome, or an abnormal heart rhythm pattern called pre-excitation (delta wave) on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
• have sick sinus syndrome without a permanent pacemaker.
• have second degree or higher atrioventricular (AV) block.

Before using CARDAMYST, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

• have a history of fainting.
• have low blood pressure.
• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if CARDAMYST will harm your unborn baby.
• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if CARDAMYST passes into your breast milk. You should stop breastfeeding for 12 hours after treatment with CARDAMYST. During this time, pump and throw away your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby after using CARDAMYST.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

What are the possible side effects of CARDAMYST?

CARDAMYST may cause serious side effects, including:

• Fainting due to CARDAMYST effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and electrical activity of the heart. CARDAMYST may cause dizziness and fainting, especially in people with a history of fainting and certain heart problems, or people with a history of fainting during an episode of PVST. Use CARDAMYST while sitting in a safe area where you will not fall if you become dizzy or lightheaded. Lie down if you feel dizzy or lightheaded after using CARDAMYST. If fainting occurs after using CARDAMYST, caregivers should place you on your back and seek medical help.

The most common side effects of CARDAMYST include:

These are not all of the possible side effects for CARDAMYST. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Genesis Healthcare Remains Committed to Securing Longterm Stability




Genesis Healthcare Remains Committed to Securing Longterm Stability

The skilled nursing, assisted and senior living provider reiterates dedication to a financial restructuring process centered around current and future patients, residents and staff

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following a court ruling on Thurs., Dec. 11 to reopen the auction process in Genesis Healthcare, Inc.’s (Genesis) and its affiliates’ ongoing chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, David Harrington, Executive Chairman of the Board of Genesis, reiterated the company’s commitment to securing long-term stability through the court-supervised chapter 11 proceedings, clarified inaccuracies in public conversations surrounding the process, and called on all interested parties to recognize – and respect – the hard work and dedication of the Genesis employees who are continuing to deliver services to the elderly and frail residents and patients that they serve during this protracted restructuring process.

“Genesis has significantly strengthened our operational performance, especially in the past two years, by investing in, designing and implementing a forward-looking, enterprise-wide shift from centralized to local market-based operations,” said Harrington. “The Genesis board, in alignment with the company’s executive leadership team – which has been completely transformed in the past three years – identified the Chapter 11 process as the necessary path to maintain and grow that momentum for years to come to benefit our current and future patients, residents and staff. That belief has not changed.”

As has been widely covered by the media, this is not the first time Genesis has considered bankruptcy proceedings. In 2021, Genesis was actively preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Some of the notable voices weighing in on this week’s proceedings were heavily – and vocally – opposed to a filing in 2021, which was ultimately avoided due to ReGen Healthcare’s $100 million investment into Genesis.

“Much has been made – and alleged – about Joel Landau’s association with Genesis, which did not begin until ReGen’s investment in 2021, which enabled Genesis to avert bankruptcy, as many in the public realm were demanding,” said Harrington. “Prior to 2021, ReGen Healthcare (ReGen) and Mr. Landau had no affiliation with or control over Genesis. The investment by ReGen provided Genesis with a lifeline to try to restructure the company outside of bankruptcy and enabled Genesis to completely revamp its executive leadership team, beginning its ongoing transformation to a nimble, market-based model dedicated to prioritizing resident and patient care.”

Some interested parties have called attention to decisions made by Genesis Healthcare to transfer its owned skilled nursing facilities to Welltower, Inc. in 2011 – fully 10 years prior to ReGen’s investment or Mr. Landau’s affiliation with Genesis (which began in 2021) – and simultaneously to enter into a master lease with Welltower, allowing Genesis to continue operating those facilities.

“I hope everyone will understand that none of the current officers or Board members that were with Genesis in 2011, when the decision was made to transfer real estate ownership to Welltower are still with Genesis today,” said Harrington.

Genesis shares interested parties’ focus on patients, residents and staff, and the importance of safeguarding access to high-quality post-acute care in the communities served by the more than 170 skilled nursing centers and assisted and senior living communities across 17 states operated by Genesis.

“I am proud of how, despite the potential for distraction during this restructuring process, our staff continues to put our mission into action by improving the lives we touch through the delivery of high-quality healthcare and everyday compassion,” said Harrington. “Decisions being made by the bankruptcy court regarding the ultimate purchaser of Genesis do not have anything to do with our commitment to our day-to-day operations, and I hope people will remember that as they continue to weigh in on this process. We are confident that entering into chapter 11 and engaging in fulsome restructuring efforts was and still is in the best interest of our current and future patients, residents and staff, and we take issue with those questioning the integrity of our frontline team members who have dedicated themselves to helping others.”

An independent third party engaged by Genesis to conduct patient satisfaction surveys in 2025 has reported:

• 91% favorable rating for relationship with staff members
• 89% favorable rating for leadership taking important measures to keep them safe
• 87% favorable rating for the amount of interaction with staff

Additionally, Genesis has reduced its overall employee turnover year-over-year by 6%, and is maintaining an overall Google rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars for all Genesis Healthcare, Inc.

Genesis would welcome local, state and federal legislative parties interested in learning more about the care provided at our facilities to contact us to schedule a tour.

Court filings and additional information related to the proceedings, which include a proposed transaction involving a current affiliate, are available at https://dm.epiq11.com/Genesis. Those with questions can call (toll-free in the US) 888-861-3979.

Anavex Life Sciences Provides Update on Regulatory Review in the EU for Blarcamesine to Treat Early Alzheimer’s Disease




Anavex Life Sciences Provides Update on Regulatory Review in the EU for Blarcamesine to Treat Early Alzheimer’s Disease

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (“Anavex” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AVXL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and rare diseases, including Rett syndrome, and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today provides an update on the regulatory review in the EU for blarcamesine to treat early Alzheimer’s disease.

As per previous communication, the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) had informed Anavex about a negative trend-vote following its oral examination in November. As expected, the CHMP has adopted a negative opinion on the marketing authorisation application for blarcamesine to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The Company intends to request a re-examination of the CHMP opinion. The EMA procedures adopted by the CHMP allow an applicant to request re-examination of its decision, which would be undertaken by a different set of reviewers that conduct a new examination, independent from the first opinion.

We believe that the initiated dialogue reinforced our shared commitment to addressing the urgent unmet need in Alzheimer’s disease,” said Christopher U Missling, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anavex. “Our team is committed to continue working in partnership with regulatory bodies in order to advance science and potentially new oral treatment options for patients and their families.”

This release discusses investigational uses of an agent in development and is not intended to convey conclusions about efficacy or safety. There is no guarantee that any investigational uses of such product will successfully complete clinical development or gain health authority approval.

About Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all dementia cases worldwide. Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease, where symptoms gradually worsen over time. Each stage of the disease presents different challenges for those living with the disease and their care partners. There is a significant unmet need for new treatment options that can slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and reduce the overall burden on people affected and on society.

About CAMP4 Therapeutics 
CAMP4 is developing disease-modifying treatments for a broad range of genetic diseases where amplifying healthy protein may offer therapeutic benefits. Our approach amplifies mRNA by harnessing a fundamental mechanism of how genes are controlled. To amplify mRNA, our therapeutic ASO drug candidates target regulatory RNAs (regRNAs), which act locally on transcription factors and are the master regulators of gene expression. CAMP4’s proprietary RAP Platform® enables the mapping of regRNAs and generation of therapeutic candidates designed to target the regRNAs associated with genes underlying haploinsufficient and recessive partial loss-of-function disorders, of which there are more than 1,200, in which a modest increase in protein expression may have the potential to be clinically meaningful.

NurExone Plans Small-Scale of ExoPTEN Clinical Manufacturing in Preparation for FUTURE First in Human USE Pathways




NurExone Plans Small-Scale of ExoPTEN Clinical Manufacturing in Preparation for FUTURE First in Human USE Pathways

Supported by Scientific Evidence Showing Tissue Repair Quality of Company’s Exosomes

TORONTO and HAIFA, Israel, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX) (OTCQB: NRXBF) (FSE: J90) (“NurExone” or the “Company”), a preclinical-biotechnology company developing exosome-based therapies for central nervous system injuries, today announced meaningful progress in its long-term clinical-readiness strategy. The Company has begun the process of evaluating potential Israeli production partners to support small-scale GMP-based manufacturing of its lead candidate, ExoPTEN, in order to test the drug in under a First-in-Human Use program, pending regulatory approval.

Dr. Lior Shaltiel, Chief Executive Officer, noted: “ExoPTEN brings together a powerful synergistic impact with highly active exosomes produced, combined with a targeted siRNA. As we advance our manufacturing plans, small clinical grade batches will position us to prepare a First-in-Human use submission in the future, if and when the regulatory pathway supports it.” He added, “ExoPTEN is being developed for both acute spinal cord injury and optic nerve injury, although it has not yet been determined which indication will be prioritized for a first-in-human program.”

In parallel, NurExone reported new scientific data showing strong biological activity in its exosomes compared with commercially available exosomes, reinforcing confidence in the platform as the Company advances toward human studies.

Early Manufacturing in Israel: A Key Step Toward U.S. Scale-Up

NurExone is currently evaluating several Israeli manufacturing organizations with expertise in advanced biologics and Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”)-aligned systems for small-scale ExoPTEN manufacturing runs aligned with future clinical requirements.

“This is a strategically important next phase of operational de-risking,” said Dr. Ina Sarel, Head of CMC, Quality and Regulatory Affairs. “Israel is the starting point for our small scale GMP-production of exosomes and process validation, after which exosome production will transition to the United States for scale-up.”

NurExone emphasized that no compassionate-use or clinical manufacturing is being initiated at this stage. All such activities would be subject to regulatory engagement and approval.

New Scientific Data Reinforce Platform Strength

Recent analytical testing demonstrated that NurExone’s exosomes produced from human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (“MSC”) exhibit significantly higher CD73-associated biological activity compared with a commercially available MSC exosome control. CD73 is a surface enzyme linked to extracellular signaling and tissue-repair mechanisms.

As shown in the graph below, the average of NurExone’s two manufacturing batches demonstrated meaningfully higher adenosine monophosphate (“AMP”) to adenosine conversion per particle compared with the control. The difference was statistically significant (t-test, p < 0.01), indicating that NurExone’s exosomes possess stronger functional characteristics associated with regenerative potential, or in other words NurExone’s exosomes can send stronger “healing” or “anti-inflammatory” signals.

These findings validate the potency of NurExone’s therapeutic exosomes strengthening the biological rationale for their use as a delivery vehicle in ExoPTEN.

These results demonstrate the high quality of the Master Cell Bank acquired by NurExone and the knowhow held by NurExone and its patented 3D shear-force production technology, indicating that the manufacturing approach described in the patent can yield higher-quality, more potent exosomes in practice.

Engagement of Russo Partners

Subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval, NurExone has engaged Russo Partners LLC, a New York–based strategic communications firm, (“Russo”) for an initial consulting project for up to two months for a fixed fee of US$6,600.

Either party may terminate the engagement with 30 days’ notice. Russo does not currently have a direct or indirect interest in the securities of the Company. While Russo has no intention of acquiring any additional securities of the Company at this time, it may do so in the future in compliance with applicable securities laws and TSXV policies.
