May 15, 2025AI has the power to cut care delays and manage data overload, but trust gaps among clinicians and patients threaten to slow adoption and impactAmsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, has released its 10th annual Future Health Index (FHI) report, highlighting the growing strain on global healthcare systems. The FHI 2025 Report, the largest global survey of its kind analyzing key concerns of healthcare professionals and patients, indicates AI holds promise for transforming care delivery. However, gaps in trust threaten to stall progress at a time when innovation is most needed.“The need to transform healthcare delivery has never been more urgent,” said Carla Goulart Peron, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Philips. “In more than half of the 16 countries surveyed, patients are waiting nearly two months or more for specialist appointments, with waits in Canada and Spain extending to four months or longer. As healthcare systems face mounting pressures, AI is rapidly emerging as a powerful ally, offering unprecedented opportunities to transform care and overcome today’s toughest challenges.”Long waits, worsening outcomesThe FHI 2025 report reveals 33% of patients have experienced worsening health due to delays in seeing a doctor, and more than 1 in 4 end up in the hospital due to long wait times. “Cardiac patients face especially dangerous delays, with 31% being hospitalized before even seeing a specialist. Without urgent action, a projected shortfall of 11 million health workers by 2030 could leave millions without timely care,” Dr. Peron added.Clinician burnout and data burdens call for digital reliefMore than 75% of healthcare professionals report losing clinical time due to incomplete or inaccessible patient data, with one-third losing over 45 minutes per shift, adding up to 23 full days a year lost by each professional. “These inefficiencies amplify stress on already understaffed teams and contribute to burnout,” said Gretchen Brown, RN, VP and Chief Nursing Information Officer at Stanford Health Care. “Recognizing this, as clinicians, we see AI as a solution and understand that delayed adoption can also carry major risks.” Of the nearly 2,000 healthcare professionals surveyed, if AI is not implemented:

(NYSE American: VTAK), a U.S.-based innovative medical device company focused on electrophysiology products, today announced its financial results and operational update for the period ending March 31, 2025. Highlights of the first quarter include:
QUELIMMUNE adoption drives four-fold increase in sequential quarter net revenue NEUTRALIZE AKI trial exceeds 50% enrollment, triggers start of Interim AnalysisWebcast Today at 4:30 pm Eastern Time DENVER, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: ICU) a commercial-stage healthcare company focused on transforming treatments for critically ill patients facing organ failure and potential loss of life announced today financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and provided business updates on key initiatives. “This is our second full quarter of the QUELIMMUNE launch and we believe our four-fold increase in revenue represents the strong commitment by our customers to improve outcomes in their pediatric patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) with this potential life-saving therapy,” said Eric Schlorff, CEO of SeaStar Medical. “We also continue to attract new customers, including a nationally recognized children’s medical center that just completed Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals and placed its first order for the QUELIMMUNE therapy.” Mr. Schlorff continued, “Importantly, we are now looking to expand access to our promising technology into the adult AKI market, where this is also a very high unmet need. Our NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial in adult AKI patients is now 50% enrolled and we look forward to completing the trial and potentially filing the Premarket Approval (PMA) application in 2026. Our team is already actively engaging with health care providers in peer-to-peer nephrology venues to provide education and awareness of our Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) therapy. Given the same mechanism of action as QUELIMMUNE, albeit a larger device for the adult SCD therapy, we are excited to unveil results from this trial in 2026.” Key Business Highlights in 2025 Since the beginning of 2025, SeaStar Medical’s key business updates include the following: Reported a four-fold increase in QUELIMMUNE net product revenue in the first quarter of 2025 to approximately $293 thousand compared to approximately $68 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2024.Broadened the QUELIMMUNE customer base, securing three new customers in 2025, including a nationally recognized children’s medical center that recently completed IRB approvals and placed an initial order for QUELIMMUNE therapy.Achieved 50% enrollment in the NEUTRALIZE-AKI pivotal trial, triggering the initiation of the prespecified, per protocol Interim Analysis by the trial’s independent Data Safety Monitoring Review Board (DSMB). SeaStar Medical anticipates the DSMB will report its findings to the company in the third quarter of 2025.Awarded two new Breakthrough Device Designations for use of the SCD therapy to treat systemic inflammatory response in 1) adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery and 2) pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery towards prevention of post-operative adverse complications and outcomes. This brings SeaStar Medical’s total Breakthrough Device Designations to six therapeutic indications, enabling a potential for a speedier pathway to approval and preferable reimbursement dynamics at commercial launch.Successfully completed an FDA site inspection of SeaStar Medical’s facility for QUELIMMUNE kitting operations, eliminating its contract manufacturer and enabling internal controls over the entire kitting process.Received from the FDA an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a clinical trial to evaluate the SCD therapy as a bridging strategy to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation in patients with chronic heart failure who have progressed to acute decompensated heart failure. This indication has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA. It represents a market where there is serious unmet need for effective treatments. Awarded the NKF 2025 Corporate Innovator Award by the National Kidney Foundation for its significant contribution to improving the lives of pediatric patients with AKI based on the approval and introduction of the QUELIMMUNE therapy. Financial Results for the First Quarter 2025 Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $0.3 million, reflecting sales of the QUELIMMUNE pediatric SCD therapy that was approved under a Humanitarian Device Exemption in February 2024 and launched as a commercial product by SeaStar Medical in July 2024. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by an increase in clinical trial costs related to the NEUTRALIZE-AKI pivotal trial, as well as medical affairs and personnel costs, partially offset by a decline in costs for external services. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was the result of a decline in accounting-related costs, as well as legal-related and consulting expenses, partially offset by an increase in SEC-related expenses. Other expenses (net) decreased approximately $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to the retirement of outstanding debt obligations and the elimination of convertible notes and related warrants since March 31, 2024. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, SeaStar Medical was approximately $3.8 million, or $0.44 per share on approximately 8.6 million weighted-average shares outstanding. This compared with a net loss of approximately $12.7 million, or $4.73 per share, on approximately 2.7 million weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company reported cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments of $5.3 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2024. In January 2025 the Company announced an approximately $6.0 million registered direct offering priced at-the-market.

About QUELIMMUNE The QUELIMMUNE™ therapy is being commercialized for children with AKI and sepsis or septic condition weighing 10 kilograms or more who are being treated in the ICU with Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). The QUELIMMUNE therapy was approved in February 2024 under a Humanitarian Device Exemption application, having met the applicable criteria with clinical results showing safety and probable clinical benefit in a limited population of critically ill children with AKI who have few treatment options. SeaStar Medical commenced its commercial launch of the QUELIMMUNE therapy in July 2025. In January 2025, SeaStar Medical was awarded the 2025 Corporate Innovator Award by the National Kidney Foundation for its significant contribution to improving the lives of pediatric patients with AKI based on the approval and introduction of the QUELIMMUNE therapy. About NEUTRALIZE-AKI Pivotal Trial The NEUTRALIZE-AKI (NEUTRophil and monocyte deActivation via SeLective Cytopheretic Device – a randomIZEd clinical trial in Acute Kidney Injury) pivotal trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the SCD therapy in 200 adults with AKI in the ICU receiving CRRT. The trial’s primary endpoint is a composite of 90-day mortality or dialysis dependency of patients treated with the SCD therapy in addition to CRRT as the standard of care, compared with the control group receiving only CRRT standard of care. Secondary endpoints include mortality at 28 days, ICU-free days in the first 28 days, major adverse kidney events at Day 90 and dialysis dependency at one year. The study will also include subgroup analyses to explore the effectiveness of the SCD therapy in AKI patients with sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. About Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Hyperinflammation AKI is characterized by a sudden and temporary loss of kidney function and can be caused by a variety of conditions such as sepsis, severe trauma, surgery and COVID-19. AKI can cause destructive hyperinflammation, which is the overproduction or overactivity of inflammatory effector cells and other molecules that can be toxic. Damage resulting from this destructive hyperinflammation in AKI can progress to other organs, such as the heart or liver, and potentially to multi-organ dysfunction or even failure that could result in worse outcomes, including increased risk of death. Even after resolution, these patients may face complications including chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis. Extreme hyperinflammation may also contribute to added healthcare costs, such as prolonged ICU stays and increased reliance on dialysis and mechanical ventilation. About the SeaStar Medical Selective Cytopheretic Device Therapy The Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) therapy is designed as a disease-modifying device that neutralizes over-active immune cells and stops the cytokine storm that yields destructive hyperinflammation and creates a cascade of events that wreak havoc in the patient’s body. The SCD therapy has broad applications in multiple acute and chronic kidney and cardiovascular diseases, representing nearly a million patients who today have no FDA-approved options for treating their disease. Unlike pathogen removal and other blood-purification tools, the SCD therapy is integrated with an existing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) hemofiltration system to selectively target and transition proinflammatory monocytes to a reparative state and promote activated neutrophils to be less inflammatory. This unique immunomodulation approach may promote long-term organ recovery, eliminate the need for future RRT, including dialysis, and prevent loss of life. About SeaStar Medical SeaStar Medical is a commercial-stage healthcare company focused on transforming treatments for critically ill patients facing organ failure and potential loss of life. SeaStar’s first commercial product, QUELIMMUNE (SCD-PED), was approved in 2024 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the only FDA approved product for the ultra-rare condition of life-threatening acute kidney injury (AKI) due to sepsis or a septic condition in critically ill pediatric patients. SeaStar’s Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) therapy has been awarded Breakthrough Device Designation for six therapeutic indications by the FDA, enabling the potential for a speedier pathway to approval and preferable reimbursement dynamics at commercial launch. The company is currently conducting a pivotal trial of its SCD therapy in adult patients with AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy, a life-threatening condition with no effective treatment options that impacts over 200,000 adults in the U.S. annually.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BioCardia, Inc. [Nasdaq: BCDA], a developer of cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2025 and filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will also hold a conference call at 4:30 PM ET today in which it will discuss business highlights. Following management’s formal remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. Recent Business Highlights CardiAMP® autologous cell therapy in ischemic heart failure of reduced ejection fraction (BCDA-01) On March 30, 2025, two-year results from the double-blind randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 CardiAMP HF Trial of its CardiAMP autologous minimally invasive cell therapy for the treatment of ischemic heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were presented as a late-breaking clinical trial at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Sessions, demonstrating increased survival, decreased cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attacks, and hospitalizations and improved quality of life for treated patients at two years. Statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements were seen in the subset of patients suffering from active heart stress (50% of enrolled patients), as demonstrated by elevated NTproBNP and BNP biomarkers. The Company is on track to share the two-year data with both the FDA and Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in the coming weeks and align on pathways to make CardiAMP available for physicians and their patients.The CardiAMP HF II Trial is underway in the United States, with three sites actively enrolling patients. This confirmatory trial focuses on patients with active heart stress with a primary endpoint based on a three-tiered Finkelstein-Schoenfeld hierarchical analysis. The tiers, starting with the most serious events, are (1) all-cause death, including cardiac death equivalents, (2) non-fatal Major Adverse Coronary and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE), (3) change from baseline in quality of life at a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months. In the CardiAMP HF Trial, this composite efficacy endpoint was achieved with statistical significance in the subset of patients with elevated NTproBNP that are the focus of the CardiAMP HF II study (p=0.02). CardiAMP autologous cell therapy in chronic myocardial ischemic with refractory angina (BCDA-02) Results from the open-label roll-in cohort of patients having chronic myocardial ischemia with refractory angina to date have shown an average 107 second increase in exercise tolerance and an 82% average reduction in angina episodes at the primary six-month follow-up endpoint compared to before receiving the study treatment. The last roll-in cohort patient has recently reached this six-month primary endpoint, and we intend to prepare the primary results of this cohort for publication and presentation. CardiALLO Cell Therapy in Ischemic Heart Failure (BCDA-03) The low dose cohort of 20 million cells in the phase 1/2 clinical trial was completed in the first quarter 2025 and there have been no treatment-emergent adverse events, arrhythmias, rejection, or allergic responses. The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board recommended that the study proceed as designed in April 2025 based on the 30-day data safety assessment from this cohort. The Company plans to progress the trial to enrollment of 39 participants in the United States and fund development through nondilutive grant applications and partnering. Helix Biotherapeutic Delivery The Company’s Helix transendocardial biotherapeutic delivery system performed well in the recent CardiAMP HF Trial as presented on March 30, with no procedure-related deaths, embolism, or need for surgical cardiac or endovascular repair occurring. This contributes to the growing body of experience using this delivery platform and supports the independent FDA submission for approval that we are currently pursuing. Helix procedures are also now using the advanced Morph DNA bidirectional steerable platform to navigate, and physician feedback has been positive. Intellectual Property The Company’s intellectual property portfolio is robust, with more than 60 patents and patent applications worldwide. In March, the Company announced that the Japan Patent Office granted Japanese Patent No: 7641330 titled “Radial and Transendocardial Delivery Catheter,” with a patent term that will expire on or after September 30, 2034. The patent describes minimally invasive interventional biotherapeutic delivery catheters to deliver biologic therapies to target sites in the heart. This minimally invasive delivery approach enables optimal treatment at the sites where needed, minimizes off-target toxicities, and avoids the need for surgical access to the heart. Two additional patents have also been allowed this year and are expected to issue in the near future. “This has been a great quarter for all of our therapeutic programs in development,” said BioCardia CEO Peter Altman, Ph.D. “Most importantly, the CardiAMP HF Trial has provided significant rigorous evidence supporting both safety and meaningful benefits of CardiAMP cell therapy for heart failure patients who still have elevated biomarkers of heart stress, despite being on maximal guideline directed medical therapy. Our top priorities are the regulatory submissions for the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System clinical consultation with Japan PMDA and for the Helix transendocardial delivery system application for approval in the United States. Both are anticipated this quarter.” First Quarter 2025 Financial Results: Research and development expenses were approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 2025 compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 2024, primarily due to closeout activities in the CardiAMP HF Trial and the inception of enrollment in the CardiAMP HF II Trial.Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 2025 compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 2024.Our net loss was approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 2025, compared to approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 2024.Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 2025 was approximately $1.6 million, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 2024.

We expect to report Phase 1 healthy volunteer data, including biomarker results, later this year to support Phase 2 trials in both indications. In addition, our Phase 2 HORIZON trial of MZE829 continues to actively enroll, on track for a readout in Q1 2026. With a strong balance sheet following our IPO, we’re well-positioned to deliver on our pipeline and mission.” Key Anticipated Milestones MZE829 for APOL1 Kidney Disease (AKD) MZE829 is an oral, small molecule APOL1 inhibitor that Maze is advancing as a potential treatment for patients with AKD, a subset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) estimated to affect over one million people in the United States (U.S.) alone. Maze continues to enroll patients in the Phase 2 HORIZON trial of MZE829. The trial includes a broad population of patients with AKD, including those with diabetes, those with non-diabetic kidney disease, and patients with severe focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).Maze expects to announce initial proof-of-concept data from the Phase 2 HORIZON trial in the first quarter of 2026. MZE782 in CKD and Phenylketonuria (PKU) MZE782 is an oral, small molecule targeting the solute transporter, SLC6A19, with potential to be a first-in-class treatment for the approximately five million U.S. patients with CKD who inadequately respond to currently available CKD therapies, as well as potential to be a best-in-class therapy for patients with PKU, an inherited metabolic disorder. MZE782 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers.Maze expects to report initial data, including proof-of-mechanism biomarker results, in the third quarter of 2025.Based on Phase 1 results, Maze plans to initiate two separate Phase 2 clinical trials of MZE782 in CKD and PKU. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents were $294.4 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $196.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Maze expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will fund operations into the second half of 2027. Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $27.6 million and $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase primarily reflects higher clinical trial expenses for MZE829 and MZE782 and personnel-related expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $7.8 million and $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase primarily reflects higher personnel-related expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and professional services fees. Net Loss: Net loss was $32.8 million and $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Published Research Demonstrates the Value of BVA in Meeting Key Goal of Identifying Anemia in Heart Failure Patients Oak Ridge, TN, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), Daxor Corporation, the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, today announces significant new findings from Duke University Medical Center published in the prestigious American Heart Journal. The research demonstrates how Blood Volume Analysis (BVA) enables precise measurement of red blood cell mass (RBCM) and effectively differentiates between true and dilutional anemia in heart failure (HF) patients. The detection of true anemia and its management is a key part of Heart Failure Guidelines published by cardiovascular societies, including the American College of Cardiology and the Heart Failure Society of America, but standard blood panels of hematocrit and hemoglobin levels are not sensitive or specific to enable care for this key objective. The study, titled, “Relationship of Red Blood Cell Mass Profiles and Anemia Type to Outcomes and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Performance in Chronic Heart Failure,” highlights the connections between RBCM profiles using BVA, different anemia types, heart failure outcomes, and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameters. Dr. Veraprapas Kittipibul, the study’s lead investigator, outlined key findings: Anemia is prevalent in heart failure patients and can be categorized by type using BVA.Among heart failure patients diagnosed with anemia by WHO hemoglobin criteria, 60% had true anemia while 40% had dilutional pseudo-anemia. (Only truly anemic patients need red cell therapy while pseudo-anemic patients do not, yet WHO criteria does not differentiate this need.)Patients with dilutional pseudo-anemia.showed a tendency toward higher heart failure hospitalization compared to those with no anemia or true anemia.No significant difference in heart failure hospitalization rates was observed across different RBCM profiles.Heart failure patients with RBCM deficit or true anemia demonstrated poorer exercise capacity. “This research from Duke University provides additional compelling evidence for the value of BVA in heart failure management,” said John L. Jefferies, MD, MPH, MBA, Daxor’s Chief Medical Officer. “The ability to differentiate between true and dilutional pseudo-anemia fundamentally changes a patient’s treatment approach. Accurate volume status directly impacts therapeutic decisions, patient outcomes and quality of life, and reinforces why blood volume measurement should be standard in comprehensive heart failure care.” About Daxor Corporation Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), is the global leader in blood volume measurement technology focused on blood volume testing innovation. We developed and market the BVA-100® (Blood Volume Analyzer), the only diagnostic blood test cleared by the FDA to provide safe, accurate, objective quantification of blood volume status and composition compared to patient-specific norms. Over 70,000+ tests have been performed at leading hospital centers across the U.S., enhancing hospital performance metrics in a broad range of surgical and medical conditions, including significantly reducing mortality and readmissions in heart failure and critical care. Daxor has several ongoing trials in the areas of heart failure treatment with support from the NIH and is under contract developing analyzers to improve combat casualty care with the U.S. Department of Defense. Daxor’s mission is to advance healthcare by enabling optimal fluid management with blood volume analysis. Daxor’s vision is optimal blood volume for all.

Resolution of CRL Manufacturing issues in progress – Type A meeting requested No clinical safety or efficacy concerns raised by FDA MONTREAL and CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company also announced the submission of a meeting request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the next step in the resolution of CRL issues. “Our immediate priority is to engage with the U.S. FDA in order to address the CMC-related issues raised in the CRL received for CARDAMYST as a treatment for PSVT,” said Joe Oliveto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Pharmaceuticals. “We are confident we can work with the FDA to fully respond to the CRL and remain committed to the potential of CARDAMYST. If approved, it will be the first and only self-administered therapy for the rapid termination of episodes of PSVT.” First Quarter and Recent Program Updates Etripamil for Patients with PSVT CRL for CARDAMYST™ for PSVT received from FDA. In March 2025, Milestone received a CRL regarding its NDA for CARDAMYST, its lead investigational product for the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). In the letter, the Agency highlighted two key Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) issues to be addressed: 1) additional information on nitrosamine impurities was requested, based on new draft guidance that was issued during the review of the NDA , and 2) a new inspection of a facility listed in the NDA is required, to ensure it is in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The facility, which previously performed a portion of the testing required to release etripamil final product, changed ownership during the review of the NDA. Milestone is prepared to discuss the issues raised in the CRL during the Type A meeting with the FDA.Patent Issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on a new Method of Use patent for etripamil nasal spray. The new patent (U.S. Patent No. 12,257,224) covers the repeat dose regimen that was used in the RAPID Phase 3 study that evaluated etripamil in PSVT and is included in the proposed package insert for CARDAMYST. The issued patent potentially extends the intellectual property protection for CARDAMYST in the United States until July 2042, which would be an additional six years of protection for the company’s intellectual property portfolio.CARDAMYST highlighted in independent Survey of Managed Care professionals. Results from an independent survey conducted by Managed Healthcare Executive and The American Journal of Managed Care were published on May 6, 2025. CARDAMYST was selected by 40% of respondents (which included payers, providers and academics) when asked which new drug is expected to make the biggest difference in patient health. A copy of the article can be accessed here.Commercial Launch Plan investor event held in February. The event, held on February 25, 2025 in New York City, provided an in-depth overview of the Company’s commercial strategy for CARDAMYST nasal spray, if approved. A replay of the event, as well as a copy of the slides, can be found on the corporate website here.Poster on etripamil presented at American College of Cardiology Annual Meeting (ACC.25). The poster titled, “Consistency and Predictiveness of Conversion Among Multiple Episodes of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) treated with Etripamil: Outcomes from the NODE-303 trial,” was presented at the meeting on March 30, 2025 by James Ip, M.D., Professor, Division of Cardiology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. A copy of the poster can be accessed here. Etripamil for patients with atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (AFib-RVR) Phase 3 protocol in AFib-RVR finalized Milestone has finalized the Phase 3 study protocol following FDA’s review and obtained concurrence with the Agency to proceed. The Company is pausing initiation of enrollment of the study due to prioritizing resources to resolve the CRL received on the NDA for etripamil in PSVT. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results As of March 31, 2025, Milestone had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $56.0 million, compared to $69.7 million as of December 31, 2024.There was no revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 or for the first quarter of 2024.Research and development expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.0 million, compared with $3.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher consulting costs in drug manufacturing and regulatory costs.General and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.2 million, compared with $4.0 million for the prior year period. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in outside service costs, partially offset by a decrease in personnel costs.Commercial expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $10.4 million, compared with $2.9 million for the prior year period. This increase is a result of additional personnel costs, professional costs and other operational expenses related to preparation for the launch of CARDAMYST. As a result of the CRL, Milestone has temporarily paused the ramping of operational expenditures related to launch, but will maintain the capability to launch quickly, pending approval of CARDAMYST by the FDA.For the first quarter of 2025, net loss was $20.8 million, compared to $10.4 million for the prior year period.
