Data show consistent efficacy, safety, and tolerability findings across multiple clinical trials that evaluated self-administered etripamilMONTREAL and CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milestone® Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative cardiovascular medicines, today announced that new data analyses surrounding its lead investigational product for the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), etripamil nasal spray, consistently showed efficacy and a favorable safety profile across multiple studies comprising the global development program. The poster, “Combined Efficacy, Safety, and Test Dose Tolerability of Etripamil for Acute Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) Across Multiple Clinical Trials,” will be presented on Monday, November 10 (10:30–11:30 AM CST) at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2025, in New Orleans, La. The data will be presented by James Ip, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Director of Cardiac Pacing and Implantable Devices, Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, New York Weill Cornell-Presbyterian Hospital. Key Findings: Analysis of data from 622 unique enrolled patients across multiple trials showed consistent efficacy of etripamil across multiple study phases, types of trial design, and geographic regions, with etripamil treatment showing similarly greater conversion rates for symptomatic PSVT episodes compared with placebo arms.Across studies, the median time to conversion in patients self-administering etripamil was 18.5 minutes (95% CI: 15.7 to 21.0 minutes).The Kaplan-Meier estimate, from the pooled data for conversion of PSVT to sinus rhythm (SR) by 30 minutes of drug administration, was 59.6% (range: 53.6% to 64.3%). By 60 minutes post-administration, etripamil conversion rates rose to 63.2% to 75.1% across studies.Safety data from over 1,050 etripamil-treated patients were favorable, consistently shown, and characterized by predominantly mild, transient, and nasal-site localized adverse events.The low rate of test-dose failures (1.4%) among over 1,100 patients administered etripamil in SR further indicates the consistent tolerability of etripamil. “These results show the consistent efficacy, with onset soon after self-administration, and safety of etripamil nasal spray across a wide range of studies and patient populations,” said David Bharucha, M.D., PhD, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of Milestone. “The potential for patients to self-administer etripamil and achieve rapid termination of symptomatic PSVT episodes would represent a meaningful advance in the management of PSVT, a condition that frequently leads to emergency room visits and causes significant burden for patients.” Study Methods This analysis involved a systematic review of randomized-controlled and open-label trials evaluating etripamil in adult patients with documented PSVT. Studies were selected based on their focus on self-administered etripamil for acute termination of symptomatic PSVT episodes, with inclusion criteria encompassing patients aged 18 years or older with a history of PSVT confirmed by electrocardiogram (ECG). These studies included: Phase 2: NODE-1; Phase 3: NODE-301 (Parts 1 and 2 [RAPID] and its extensions); and NODE-302 and NODE-303 (open-label extensions). A New Drug Application (NDA) for CARDAMYST is currently being evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) which has set a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDFUA) target date of December 13, 2025. About Etripamil Etripamil is Milestone’s lead investigational product. It is a novel calcium channel blocker nasal spray under clinical development for frequent and often highly symptomatic episodes of PSVT and AFib-RVR. It is designed as a self-administered rapid response therapy for patients, thereby bypassing the need for immediate medical oversight. If approved, etripamil is intended to provide health care providers with a new treatment option to enable on-demand care and patient self-management. This portable, self-administered treatment may provide patients with active management and a greater sense of control over their condition. CARDAMYST™, the conditionally approved brand name for etripamil nasal spray, is well studied with a robust clinical trial program that includes a completed Phase 3 clinical-stage program for the treatment of PSVT and Phase 2 trial for the treatment of patients with AFib-RVR. About Milestone Pharmaceuticals Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST) is a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing innovative cardiovascular medicines to benefit people living with certain heart conditions. Milestone recently submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for etripamil for the treatment of an abnormal heart rhythm, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia or PSVT.

PARADIGM: A Prospective rAndomized tRial Assessing the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® bIomimetic valve designed for physioloGic flow compared to CoMmercial TAVR devices MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anteris announced today it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to initiate PARADIGM, its global Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial which is designed to evaluate the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis and to support a future PMA* submission. “We are extremely pleased to receive FDA approval for the PARADIGM Trial, which allows us to commence patient recruitment in the United States**. This milestone, together with the recent launch of the trial and first patients treated in Denmark, represents a significant achievement and a key step forward in advancing this life-saving technology worldwide for patients living with aortic stenosis, a debilitating and progressive condition,” commented Vice Chairman and CEO, Wayne Paterson. The PARADIGM Trial is co-chaired by Dr. Michael J. Reardon, Allison Family Distinguished Chair of Cardiovascular Research and Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Houston Methodist Hospital, Texas and Professor Stephan Windecker, Chairman of the Department of Cardiology at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland. About the PARADIGM Trial The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® THV compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This head-to-head study will enroll approximately 1000 patients across the Unites States, Europe and Canada in the ‘All Comers Randomized Cohort’ with 1:1 randomization of patients who will receive either the DurAVR® THV or TAVR using commercially available and approved THVs. The PARADIGM Trial will assess non-inferiority on a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post procedure. The PARADIGM Trial is designed to provide the robust clinical evidence required to support an application to the FDA for Premarket Approval in the United States, with CE Mark approval anticipated to progress in parallel to the PMA. For further information, please refer to ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicaTrials.gov ID NCT07194265). *A Premarket Approval (PMA) application requires a high level of clinical evidence to demonstrate reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use. Randomized controlled trials are generally considered Level 1 evidence, the highest level for determining the effectiveness of interventions in evidence-based medicine given RCTs minimize bias and allow a clear comparison between treatment groups. **Subject to Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval About Anteris Anteris Technologies Global Corp.
