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.
