Speaker #1: You may begin.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Morgan. And thank you all for joining us today. With me this morning are Dr. Julie Krop, our chief medical officer, and Scott Kellen, our chief financial officer.

Rick Pauls: Thank you, Morgan, and thank you all for joining us today. With me this morning are Dr. Julie Krop, our Chief Medical Officer, and Scott Kellen, our Chief Financial Officer. Q2 was an important quarter for DiaMedica, with progress across DM199 in early onset fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, and acute ischemic stroke. We advanced our pregnancy-related clinical strategy, continued preparations for our phase 2 early onset preeclampsia study in Canada and the UK, and made further progress towards reaching the planned phase 2/3 ReMEDy2 interim analysis in acute ischemic stroke. There are four key updates I would like to highlight. First, with respect to the IST being conducted by Professor Kluver, enrollment has been completed in the first cohort of the phase 2 early onset fetal growth restriction study. The cohort consists of six participants treated at the 5 microgram per kg dose level.

We advanced our pregnancy-related clinical strategy, continued preparations for our Phase 2 early-onset preeclampsia study in Canada and the UK, and made further progress towards reaching the planned Phase 2/3 ReMEDy2 interim analysis in acute ischemic stroke.

Rick Pauls: We advanced our pregnancy-related clinical strategy, continued preparations for our phase II early onset preeclampsia study in Canada and the UK, and made further progress towards reaching the planned phase II/III ReMEDy2 interim analysis in acute ischemic stroke. There are four key updates I would like to highlight. First, with respect to the IST being conducted by Professor Kluver, enrollment has been completed in the first cohort of the phase 2 early onset fetal growth restriction study. The cohort consists of six participants treated at the 5 microgram per kg dose level.

Speaker #2: There are four key updates I would like to highlight. First, with respect to the IST being conducted by Professor Kluber and enrollment has been completed in the first cohort of the phase two early-onset fetal growth restriction study.

Speaker #2: The cohort consists of six participants, treated at the 5 microgram per kilogram dose level. This is important, as it expands the clinical use of DM19 into a second serious women's health disorder for which there are no approved therapies.

Rick Pauls: This is important as it expands the clinical use of DM19 into a second serious women's health disorder for which there are no approved therapies. We plan to host a key opinion leader event in September with Professor Kathy Kluver, the study's principal investigator, and other experts to discuss the potential of DM19 in fetal growth restriction and share top-line results for the completed first cohort open label phase II trial. Second, the extension cohort from the Part 1a of the IST has been completed. This was the initial dose escalation cohort treating women with late stage preeclampsia. The combined results from the dose escalation and extension groups were important, as noted in our earnings press release, as they provide the clinical support driving the selection of the mid dose range for the evaluation, both for early onset fetal growth restriction and early onset preeclampsia studies.

Speaker #2: We plan to host a key opinion leader event in September with Professor Kathy Kluber to study its principal investigator and other experts, to discuss the potential of DM19 in fetal growth restriction and share top-line results for the completed first cohort open-label phase two trial.

Speaker #2: Julie will review the data later in the call. And third, we continue to advance our early-onset preeclampsia programs on the regulatory and operational fronts, which I will discuss in a moment.

Rick Pauls: Julie will review the data later in the call. Third, we continue to advance our early onset preeclampsia programs on the regulatory and operational fronts, which I will discuss in a moment. Fourth, ReMEDy2, our phase II/III acute ischemic stroke study, is approaching the 200th patient required to trigger the pre-specified interim efficacy analysis. Although enrollment slowed somewhat in July, we now have surpassed 85% of the enrollment target, and we anticipate the interim analysis readout in Q1 2027. As a reminder, DM19's recombinant form of the naturally occurring human KLK1 protein. KLK1 is a serum protease that acts through the BK2 receptors present in endothelial blood vessels to restore the body's natural ability to increase levels of nitric oxide, prostacyclin, and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factors.

Speaker #2: And fourth, REMEDY 2, our phase 2/3 acute ischemic stroke study, is approaching the 200th patient required to trigger the prespecified interim efficacy analysis. Although enrollment slowed somewhat in July, we have now surpassed 85% of the enrollment target, and we anticipate the interim analysis readout in the first quarter of 2027.

KLT1 is a serum protease that acts through the BK2 receptors present in the endothelial blood vessels to restore the body's natural ability to increase levels of nitric oxide, process cyclin, and endothelial drive hyperpolarizing factors.

Speaker #2: We believe that this novel mechanism improves vascular biology, making DM19 both unique and well-suited to address the endothelial and perfusion-related dysfunction common in preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and acute ischemic stroke.

Rick Pauls: We believe that this novel mechanism improves vascular biology, makes DM19 both unique and well-suited to address the endothelial and perfusion-related dysfunction common in preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and acute ischemic stroke. As I mentioned, we are pleased to report today that enrollment has been completed in the first cohort of the open label phase II IST fetal growth restriction study. The first cohort consisted of six participants treated at the 5 microgram per kg dose level. This study is enrolling early onset fetal growth restriction patients with or without concurrent preeclampsia. This expansion of our development program allows us to evaluate FGR, a related yet distinct clinical indication to preeclampsia. Early onset FGR is a serious complication of pregnancy associated with inadequate utero-placental blood flow. There are currently no therapies approved to treat FGR, just early delivery, which can have very serious consequences for the babies.

Speaker #2: There are currently no therapies approved to treat FGR, just early delivery, which can have very serious consequences for the babies. This study is evaluating three dose levels.

Rick Pauls: This study is evaluating three dose levels. With the first cohort now fully enrolled, enrollment in the second cohort at 10 microgram per kg should begin shortly. The dose for the third cohort will be between 1 and 15 micrograms per kg and will be based on the results from the first two cohorts. Key FGR study endpoints include safety and tolerability, prolongation of gestation, flow-mediated dilation, among other measures. This is an important study. It's the first time that DM19 has been used in early onset patients. We plan to host a key opinion leader event in September featuring Professor Kluver, the study's principal investigator, where rationale for DM19 in treating fetal growth restriction will be discussed, along with top-line results from the completed first cohort.

Speaker #2: We are excited about this indication because it represents an expansion of DM199’s potential reach, based upon the demonstrated improvement in the pulsatility or resistance index observed in the initial preeclampsia Part 1A study.

Rick Pauls: We are excited about this indication because it represents an expansion of DM199's potential reach based upon the demonstrated improvement in the pulsatility or the resistance index observed in the initial preeclampsia Part 1a study. We also anticipate the first patients to be dosed shortly in the IST early onset preeclampsia and continuous IV infusion preeclampsia studies. Based on the results of the recently completed late onset preeclampsia study, a protocol amendment was filed in July to adjust the dosing regimen to provide more flexibility on dosing at the mid to lower level range. Dosing will start shortly after the acceptance of the protocol amendment is completed in coming weeks. Moving to the global Phase 2 early onset preeclampsia program, Health Canada authorized initiation of our open label Phase 2 dose-ranging study in early onset preeclampsia patients earlier this year.

Moving to the global Phase 2 early-onset preeclampsia program, Health Canada authorized initiation of our open-label Phase 2 dose-ranging study in early-onset preeclampsia patients earlier this year.

Speaker #2: The study is also designed to enroll approximately 30 patients at three dose levels. We are working with Sisome Canada and anticipate dosing the first patient in Q4 of this year.

Rick Pauls: The study is also designed to enroll approximately 30 patients at three dose levels. We are working with sites in Canada and anticipate to dose the first patient in Q4 of this year. We are also working to expand the study to the United Kingdom later this year, subject to regulatory authorization and site readiness. The results of the multi preeclampsia and FGR studies will be important in defining the dosing for the Phase 3 registrational trial in one or both indications.

Speaker #2: We're also working to expand the study to the United Kingdom later this year, subject to regulatory authorization and site readiness. The results of the multi-preeclampsia and FGR studies will be important in defining the dosing for the Phase 3 registrational trial in one or both indications.

Speaker #2: Turning to expanding the early-onset preeclampsia trial into US sites, as we announced in June, we believe that based on the FDA feedback, our previously completed RET, Reproductive Toxicology Study, may be acceptable to support a US IND application provided that we can demonstrate sufficient evidence of DM19 exposure and enzymatic activity throughout the previously completed RET study, as well as the adequate pharmacologic and FACS in RET to support their use as an appropriate toxicology species.

Rick Pauls: Turning to expanding the early onset preeclampsia trial into US sites, as we announced in June, we believe that based on the FDA feedback, our previously completed rat reproductive toxicology study may be acceptable to support a US IND application, provided that we can demonstrate sufficient evidence of DM199 exposure and enzymatic activity throughout the previously completed rat study, as well as the adequate pharmacologic effects in rats to support their use as an appropriate toxicology species. To address FDA's request, we are conducting a pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic activity study of DM199 in rats. Following completion of the study, anticipated in September, and reports in October, we plan to present the results to the FDA and work with the agency towards initiating clinical development in the US. Finally, turning to the ReMEDy2, our ongoing Phase 2/3 acute ischemic stroke trial.

Finally, turning to the ReMEDy2, our ongoing Phase 2/3 acute ischemic stroke trial.

Speaker #2: Finally, turning to the REMEDY2, our ongoing Phase 2/3 acute ischemic stroke trial, enrollment has now surpassed 85% of the 200 patients required to trigger the pre-specified interim analysis, which is expected in Q1 of 2027.

Rick Pauls: Enrollment has now surpassed 85% of the 200 patients required to trigger the pre-specified interim analysis, which is expected in Q1 of 2027. We currently have approximately 70 active sites across the US, Canada, the UK, and six countries in Europe. Site activation in Europe are adding meaningful enrollment capacity. The interim efficacy analysis, which occurs after completion of the protocol-defined 90-day follow-up, will be conducted by the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board, or the DSMB, and is intended to assess whether a sample size re-estimate is warranted. The final size may range between 300 and 728 patients or fetality. DiaMedica will remain blinded to data and treatment effect estimates reviewed by the independent DSMB. I will now turn the call over to Julie to walk through the late onset preeclampsia Phase 2 Part 1a clinical update in more detail.

Speaker #2: I'll now turn the call over to Julie to walk through the late-onset preeclampsia Phase 2, Part 1A clinical update in more detail.

Speaker #1: Thank you, Rick. As Rick notes, the Part 1A extension cohort has been completed, with the dosing of the final 12 patients at the Stellenbosch University site in South Africa.

Julie Krop: Thank you, Rick. As Rick notes, the Part 1a extension cohort has been completed with the dosing of the final 12 patients at Stellenbosch University site in South Africa. The cohort enrolled women with late stage preeclampsia who had severe hypertension and were expected to deliver within 72 hours under the current treatment protocol. The purpose of the extension cohort was to more fully characterize the highest dose of DM199 and provide additional dose response, safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic information to support dose selection for subsequent studies. The highest dose analysis included 15 patients, three from the initial dose escalation phase, and 12 additional patients enrolled in the extension cohort. Following DM199 administration, we observed statistically significant and sustained reductions from baseline in both systolic and diastolic maternal blood pressure.

Speaker #1: The highest dose analysis including 15 patients, three from the initial dose escalation phase, and 12 additional patients enrolled in the extension cohort. Following DM199 administration, we observed statistically significant and sustained reductions from baseline in both systolic and diastolic maternal blood pressure.

Speaker #1: At the prespecified assessment five minutes after completion of the IV infusion, mean systolic blood pressure decreased by 29.1 millimeters of mercury from a baseline of 169.3 millimeters of mercury, with a p-value less than 0.001.

Julie Krop: At the pre-specified assessment, 5 minutes after completion of the IV infusion, mean systolic blood pressure decreased by 29.1 millimeters of mercury from a baseline of 169.3 millimeters of mercury, with a P value less than 0.001. Mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by 17 millimeters of mercury from a baseline mean of 103.7 millimeters of mercury, with a P value less than 0.01. Mean systolic blood pressure remained below 160 at all measured time points over 24 hours, an important threshold systolic blood pressure for required delivery to reduce the risk of brain hemorrhage in the mother. These findings were consistent with the previously reported dose-responsive reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Across the dose ranging cohorts, the most clinically meaningful pharmacodynamic effects observed in Part 1a of the study were produced in the mid-dose range cohorts 4 through 8.

Speaker #1: Mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by 17 millimeters of mercury from a baseline mean of 103.7 millimeters of mercury, with a p-value less than 0.01.

Speaker #1: Mean systolic blood pressure remained below 160 at all measured time points over 24 hours and importance threshold systolic blood pressure for required delivery to reduce the risk of brain hemorrhage in the mother.

Speaker #1: These findings were consistent with the previously reported dose-responsive reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Across the dose ranging cohorts, the most clinically meaningful pharmacodynamic effects observed in Part 1A of the study were produced in the mid-dose range cohorts 4 through 8.

Speaker #1: These participants showed clinically meaningful reductions in both maternal blood pressure and the uterine artery pulsatility index. Note that reductions in the pulsatile index are consistent with reduced uterine placental vascular resistance, suggesting improved blood flow to the baby, which we believe is key to potentially modifying the underlying disease process in these patient populations.

Julie Krop: These participants showed clinically meaningful reductions in both maternal blood pressure and the uterine artery pulsatility index. Note that reductions in the pulsatile index are consistent with reduced uteroplacental vascular resistance, suggesting improved blood flow to the baby, which we believe is key to potentially modifying the underlying disease process in these patient populations. These findings support studying dose levels from the mid-dose range for further clinical evaluation as we move to the early onset preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction studies. The dose levels for the next studies will begin at 5 micrograms per kilogram and advance to 10 micrograms per kilogram in the second cohort. The dose level for the third cohorts will be selected based on results from the first two cohorts and will range somewhere between 1 and 15 micrograms per kilogram.

Speaker #1: These findings support studying dose levels from the mid-dose range for further clinical evaluation as we move to the early-onset preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction studies.

Speaker #1: The dose levels for the next studies will begin at 5 micrograms per kilogram and advance to 10 micrograms per kilogram in the second cohort.

Speaker #1: The dose level for the third cohort will be determined based on results from the first two cohorts and will range somewhere between 1 and 15 micrograms per kilogram.

Speaker #1: This is intended to provide flexibility to further define the optimal dose range based on the emerging data. Taken together, we believe these findings provide evidence of a mechanistically on-target pharmacodynamic response for DM199 in preeclampsia.

Julie Krop: This is intended to provide flexibility to further define the optimal dose range based on the emerging data. Taken together, we believe these findings provide evidence of a mechanistically on-target pharmacodynamic response for DM199 in preeclampsia. The study investigators plan to present the full data set, including safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic analyses at an upcoming medical conference and submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal later this year. Let me now turn the call back to Rick.

Speaker #1: The study investigators plan to present the full dataset, including safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic analyses, at an upcoming medical conference and to submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal later this year.

Speaker #1: Let me now turn the call back to Rick.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Julie. I'd like to now ask Scott to review the financial results for the quarter.

Rick Pauls: Thanks, Julie. I would like to now ask Scott to review the financial results for the quarter.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Rick. And good morning, everyone. So in walking through the financial results for the second quarter, as of June 30, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $43.5 million.

Scott Kellen: Thank you, Rick, and good morning, everyone. In walking through the financial results for Q2, as of 30 June 2026, our cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $43.5 million. Current liabilities were $6.6 million, and working capital was $37.7 million. Compared to cash and investments of $59.9 million, current liabilities of $5.1 million, and working capital of $55.5 million as of 31 December 2025. We continue to believe that our current cash position will fund our planned clinical studies and corporate operations through 2027. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended 30 June 2026, was $17.2 million, compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2025. The increase resulted primarily from the increased net loss in the current year.

Speaker #3: Current liabilities were $6.6 million, and working capital was $37.7 million, compared to cash and investments of $59.9 million, current liabilities of $5.1 million, and working capital of $55.5 million as of December 31, 2025.

Speaker #3: We continue to believe that our current cash position will fund our planned clinical studies and corporate operations through 2027. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $17.2 million, compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2025.

Scott Kellen: We continue to believe that our current cash position will fund our planned clinical studies and corporate operations through 2027. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended 30 June 2026, was $17.2 million, compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2025. The increase resulted primarily from the increased net loss in the current year.

Speaker #3: The increase resulted primarily from the increased net loss in the current year. Turning to the income statement, R&D expenses were $8.2 million and $16.1 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.

Scott Kellen: Turning to the income statement, R&D expenses were $8.2 million and $16.1 million for the three and six-month time periods ending 30 June 2026. This was an increase from $5.8 million and $11.5 million for the same time periods in the prior year. The increases are primarily due to the expansion of our clinical team, continuation of our ReMEDy2 clinical trial, including its global expansion, costs related to additional reproductive toxicity testing being performed in support of our PE program in the United States, increased manufacturing and development activities, and increases in non-cash share-based compensation. We expect that our R&D expenses will moderately increase in future periods relative to recent prior periods as we continue both our ReMEDy2 trial and continue the expansion of our DM199 clinical development program in preeclampsia.

Speaker #3: This was an increase from $5.8 million and $11.5 million for the same. Time periods in the prior year, the increases are primarily due to the expansion of our clinical team continuation of our Remedy 2 clinical trial including its global expansion, costs related to additional reproductive toxicity testing being performed in support of our PE program in the United States, increased manufacturing and development activities, and increases in non-cash share-based compensation.

Speaker #3: We expect that our R&D expenses will moderately increase in future periods relative to recent prior periods as we continue both our Remedy2 trial and the expansion of our DM199 clinical development program in preeclampsia.

Scott Kellen: We expect that our R&D expenses will moderately increase in future periods relative to recent prior periods as we continue both our ReMEDy2 trial and continue the expansion of our DM199 clinical development program in preeclampsia.

Speaker #3: Our general and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $4.8 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026. These expenses increased slightly compared to the same periods in 2025, which were $2.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The increase for the three-month period was driven primarily by increased non-cash share-based compensation and professional fees, while the increase for the six-month period resulted primarily from increased personnel costs incurred in conjunction with expanding our team, partially offset by a reduction in current-year legal and other professional fees.

Scott Kellen: Our general and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $4.8 million for the three and six-month time periods ending 30 June 2026. These expenses increased slightly compared to the same time periods in 2025, which were $2.2 million and $4.7 million respectively. The increase for the three-month period was driven primarily by increased non-cash share-based compensation and professional fees, while the increase for the six-month period resulted primarily from increased personnel costs incurred in conjunction with expanding our team, partially offset by a reduction in current year legal and other professional fees. We expect G&A expenses to remain relatively consistent in future periods as compared to recent prior periods. In summary, we remain well-funded with a cash runway through 2027.

Scott Kellen: The increase for the three-month period was driven primarily by increased non-cash share-based compensation and professional fees, while the increase for the six-month period resulted primarily from increased personnel costs incurred in conjunction with expanding our team, partially offset by a reduction in current year legal and other professional fees. We expect G&A expenses to remain relatively consistent in future periods as compared to recent prior periods. In summary, we remain well-funded with a cash runway through 2027.

Speaker #3: We expect G&A expenses to remain relatively consistent in future periods as compared to recent prior periods. In summary, we remain well-funded with a cash runway through 2027.

Speaker #3: This covers our major upcoming milestones, including the REMEDY 2 interim analysis, planned data readouts from our preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction programs, and continued advancement of our Phase II preeclampsia program in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Scott Kellen: This covers through our major upcoming milestones, including the ReMEDy2 interim analysis, planned data readouts from our preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction programs, and continued advancement of our phase II preeclampsia program in Canada and the United Kingdom. With that, let me ask the operator to open lines for questions.

Speaker #3: With that, let me ask the operator to open the lines for questions.

Speaker #4: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star, then the number 1 on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue.

Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star, then the number 1 on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star 1 again. Your first question comes from Josh Schimmer with Cantor. Your line is open.

Speaker #4: If you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star 1 again. Your first question comes from Josh Shimmer with Canter. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Great. Thanks for taking the questions to quick ones. First, just trying to understand the commentary around dosing while you're focusing on the 4 to 8 microgram per kilogram cohorts and not the higher doses for the late-onset preeclampsia program, but then you are exploring higher doses.

Josh Schimmer: Great. Thanks for taking the questions. Two quick ones. First, just trying to understand the commentary around dosing, why you are focusing on the 4 to 8 microgram per kilogram cohorts, not the higher doses for the late onset preeclampsia program, but then you are exploring higher doses for the early onset preeclampsia program. Maybe you can square that and help us understand that strategy. Then for the fetal growth restriction program, are there any inclusion criteria that you are using to try to focus on patients who you might think might be most likely to respond and/or have evidence of impaired placental perfusion at baseline? Thank you.

Speaker #5: For the early-onset preeclampsia program, so maybe you can kind of square that and help understand that help us understand that strategy. And then for the fetal growth restriction program, are there any inclusion criteria that you're using to try to focus on patients who you might think might be most likely to respond and/or have evidence of impaired placental perfusion at baseline?

Josh Schimmer: Then for the fetal growth restriction program, are there any inclusion criteria that you are using to try to focus on patients who you might think might be most likely to respond and/or have evidence of impaired placental perfusion at baseline? Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Sure. Thanks. Thanks, Josh. Yeah, so what we're seeing from the Part 1A, as we've seen in other clinical trials, is that there's really a sweet spot for dosing DM199.

Rick Pauls: Sure. Thanks, Josh. Yes. So what we are seeing from the Part 1a, as we have seen in other clinical trials, that there is really a sweet spot for dosing DM199. We believe KLK1 selectively improves uterine blood flow while also controlling blood pressure. But what we see is happening if we go too high, we think we are still controlling blood pressure, but we think that we run into receptor desensitization, and because of that, we see less of the dilation. So this is consistent, actually, what we have seen in glucose studies in type 2 diabetics. We have seen the same effect in kidney disease studies looking at eGFR and UACR, where we see a greater clinical effect at the 3 microgram compared to the 15. In addition, we also have an issued patent as well on this nonlinear dose response curve.

Speaker #3: And we believe KOK1 selectively improves uterine blood flow while also controlling blood pressure. But what we see is happening if we go too high—we think we're still controlling blood pressure, but we believe that we run into receptor desensitization.

Speaker #3: And because of that, we see less of the dilation. And so this is consistent with what we've seen in glucose studies for type 2 diabetics.

Rick Pauls: So this is consistent, actually, what we have seen in glucose studies in type 2 diabetics. We have seen the same effect in kidney disease studies looking at eGFR and UACR, where we see a greater clinical effect at the 3 microgram compared to the 15. In addition, we also have an issued patent as well on this nonlinear dose response curve.

Speaker #3: We've seen the same effect in kidney disease studies looking at eGFR and UACR, where we see a greater clinical effect at the 3 microgram compared to the 15.

Speaker #3: And then in addition, we also have an issued patent as well on this non-linear dose response curve. So I think for us, it's important that we've got some flexibility here that we can adjust the dose, but really we're targeting this mid-range.

Scott Kellen: I think for us it is important that we got some flexibility here that we can adjust the dose, but really more targeting this mid-range. In regards to your second question, in terms of FGR, these are very severe patients. These are FGR between weeks 27 and 32, and they will be patients that are in the 3% or less percentile in terms of body weight. They are very severe. We think that these babies typically, if they were not being treated, they would be delivering between one and six days. We think extending the gestational days, dilating the intrauterine arteries and other factors, this could be very exciting. This really is focusing on the dilation.

Rick Pauls: I think for us it is important that we got some flexibility here that we can adjust the dose, but really more targeting this mid-range. In regards to your second question, in terms of FGR, these are very severe patients. These are FGR between weeks 27 and 32, and they will be patients that are in the 3% or less percentile in terms of body weight. They are very severe.

Speaker #3: In regards to your second question, in terms of, yeah, FGR. So these are really very severe patients. These are FGR between weeks 27 and 32.

Speaker #3: And they'll be patients that are in the 3rd percentile or less in terms of body weight, so they're very severe. So, we think that these babies, typically, if they were not being treated, would be delivering between 1 and 6 days.

Rick Pauls: We think that these babies typically, if they were not being treated, they would be delivering between one and six days. We think extending the gestational days, dilating the intrauterine arteries and other factors, this could be very exciting. This really is focusing on the dilation.

Speaker #3: And so we think extending the gestational days, dilating the intrauterine arteries, and other factors—we think this could be very exciting. So this really is focusing on the dilation.

Speaker #3: And then we also believe that if we do see positive signals, this will be encouraging ahead of early-onset preeclampsia, because there we think we can also be controlling blood pressure in addition to the dilation.

Rick Pauls: We also believe if we do see positive signals, this will be encouraging ahead of early onset preeclampsia, because there we think we can also be controlling blood pressure in addition to the dilation. We are really excited to have this KOL event in September.

Speaker #3: So, we're really excited to have this KOL event in September.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Josh Schimmer: Thank you.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Stacey Koo with TD Kellen. Your line is open.

Operator: Your next question comes from Stacy Ku with TD Cowen. Your line is open.

Stacy Ku: Hi. Good morning. Thanks so much for taking our questions, and congratulations on all the progress. First on the fetal growth restriction, let's say cohort 1 data that we're going to get in September, maybe just help us understand the importance of maybe that chronic dosing that we're going to see. How many doses do you think you might disclose? Again, I know very early days, so just to help us understand that dynamic. Then as we think to maybe the growth restriction and what's maybe clinically meaningful, is it a week of extension before delivery? Is it longer than that? Just help us understand the type of dynamics or maybe even a little sneak peek for the KOL event when it comes to the unmet need. That's the first question on FGR. The second is on maybe your learnings for early-onset preeclampsia.

Speaker #6: Hi, good morning. Thanks so much for taking our questions, and congratulations on all the progress. So, first, on the fetal growth restriction—let's say cohort 1 data that we're going to get in September—maybe just help us understand the importance of that chronic dosing that we're going to see. How many doses do you think you might disclose?

Speaker #6: Again, I know it's very early days, just to help us understand kind of that dynamic. And then, as we think about growth restriction and what's maybe clinically meaningful, is it a week of extension before delivery?

Stacy Ku: Again, I know very early days, so just to help us understand that dynamic. Then as we think to maybe the growth restriction and what's maybe clinically meaningful, is it a week of extension before delivery? Is it longer than that? Just help us understand the type of dynamics or maybe even a little sneak peek for the KOL event when it comes to the unmet need. That's the first question on FGR. The second is on maybe your learnings for early-onset preeclampsia.

Speaker #6: Is it longer than that? Just help us understand the type of dynamics or maybe even a little sneak peek for the KOL event when it comes to the unmet need.

Speaker #6: So that's the first question on FGR. The second is on maybe your learnings for early-onset preeclampsia. Just remind us, what are the, I guess, ongoing thoughts around IV versus subcutaneous administration?

Operator 2: Just remind us, what are the ongoing thoughts around IV versus subcutaneous administration? Maybe what kind of refinements you might be applying as you think about the different cohorts. I know you just talked about the receptor desensitization, but just help us understand what's the most up-to-date thinking on the frequency of dosing, et cetera. Then the last question is a clarification on the FDA IND submission. Is it fair to assume after we finish this enzymatic study, sounds like it's going to be completed in October, that you'll be able to submit the IND to the FDA? Thanks so much.

Stacy Ku: Just remind us, what are the ongoing thoughts around IV versus subcutaneous administration? Maybe what kind of refinements you might be applying as you think about the different cohorts. I know you just talked about the receptor desensitization, but just help us understand what's the most up-to-date thinking on the frequency of dosing, et cetera. Then the last question is a clarification on the FDA IND submission. Is it fair to assume after we finish this enzymatic study, sounds like it's going to be completed in October, that you'll be able to submit the IND to the FDA? Thanks so much.

Speaker #6: Maybe—what kind of refinements you might be applying as you think about the different cohorts. I know you just talked about the receptor desensitization, but just help us understand what's the most up-to-date thinking on the frequency of dosing, etc.

Speaker #6: And then the last question is a clarification. On the FDA IND submission, is it fair to assume that after we finish this enzymatic study—which sounds like it's going to be completed in October—you'll be able to submit the IND to the FDA?

Speaker #6: Thanks so much.

Speaker #3: Yeah, for sure. So, starting with the first question—so, for FGR, I think it was important to hear that we think we have that very encouraging data.

Rick Pauls: Yeah, for sure. Starting off with the first question. For FGR, I think what's important here is that we think we've got very encouraging data thus far with the late-onset patients, where the patients got one dose IV and then one dose subcutaneous. But this is really going to be the first time that we've actually dosed early-onset patients. And the premise, the patients will come in, they're getting subcutaneous dosing every three days until delivery. As I mentioned that we think that standard of care, which basically is really limited. We're anticipating somewhere between one and six days. So from our perspective, we had indicated earlier that if we could get another five, six days, that could have a profound impact in terms of outcomes for these babies. Hopefully, we'll get a few weeks on that front.

Speaker #3: Thus far, with the late-onset patients, the patients received one dose IV and then one dose subcutaneous. But this is really going to be the first time that we've actually dosed early-onset patients.

Speaker #3: And the premise of the patients will come in, they're getting subcutaneous dosing every three days until delivery. And as I mentioned, that we think that standard of care, which basically is really limited, we were anticipating somewhere between 1 and 6 days.

Rick Pauls: And the premise, the patients will come in, they're getting subcutaneous dosing every three days until delivery. As I mentioned that we think that standard of care, which basically is really limited. We're anticipating somewhere between one and six days. So from our perspective, we had indicated earlier that if we could get another five, six days, that could have a profound impact in terms of outcomes for these babies. Hopefully, we'll get a few weeks on that front.

Speaker #3: So from our perspective, I mean, we had indicated earlier that if we could get another five or six days, that could have a profound impact in terms of outcomes for these babies.

Speaker #3: Hopefully, we'll get a few weeks on that front. In terms of the early-onset preeclampsia, we've one of the changes as well we've made is that we're going to be we're going to be we're dropping the IV infusion.

Rick Pauls: In terms of the early-onset preeclampsia, one of the changes as well we've made is that we're dropping the IV infusion and focusing on subcutaneous dosing every three days until delivery. One of the cohorts coming up for preeclampsia is a continuous IV infusion, and that'll be in late-onset patients. And the premise there is that we believe by adjusting the dose, we can dial in the blood pressure to the targeted range. So if we see positive effects there, what we would then anticipate for phase III for preeclampsia is that we're dosing every three days until systolic blood pressure approaches 160, and then at what point we would switch over to continuous IV infusion. That can hopefully get us even a few extra days. Then turning to a third question with the IND.

Speaker #3: And focusing on subcutaneous dosing every three days until delivery. One of the cohorts coming up for preeclampsia is a continuous IV infusion. And that'll be in late-onset patients.

Speaker #3: And the premise there is that we believe by adjusting the dose, we can dial in the blood pressure to the targeted range. And so if we see positive effects there, what we would then anticipate for phase three for preeclampsia is that with dosing every three days until systolic blood pressure approaches 160, and then at what point we would switch over to continuous IV infusion that can hopefully get us even a few extra days.

Rick Pauls: So if we see positive effects there, what we would then anticipate for phase III for preeclampsia is that we're dosing every three days until systolic blood pressure approaches 160, and then at what point we would switch over to continuous IV infusion. That can hopefully get us even a few extra days. Then turning to a third question with the IND.

Speaker #3: And then turning to your third question with the IND, yeah, assuming all goes well with the RADS study, that's already been initiated. It's ongoing.

Rick Pauls: Yeah, assuming all goes well with the rat study that's already been initiated, it's ongoing. We should be completing that in the early part of September. The plan would be then to submit for a US IND. When we did meet with the FDA to discuss this topic, the last comment they had indicated to us that this was the last piece that they thought we needed to open up the IND.

Speaker #3: We should be completing that in the early part of September. The plan would be to submit for a US IND then. When we did meet with the FDA to discuss this topic, their last comment indicated to us that this was the final piece they thought we needed to open up the IND.

Speaker #6: Thank you so much.

Stacy Ku: Thank you so much.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Thomas Flavin with Lake Street. Your line is open.

Operator: Your next question comes from Thomas Flaten with Lake Street. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Rick, just following up on the FGR—what's clinically meaningful and what's not. So, you mentioned days of gestation.

Thomas Flaten: Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Rick, just following up on the FGR, what's clinically meaningful, what's not. You mentioned days of gestation. Is there going to be an endpoint looking at what percentile the baby grows to? I know you said these are 3rd percentile or less. Are you trying to get the baby up to 5th, 10th percentile? I don't really know what the number would be. Or is this simply gestational extension, which hopefully leads to an improvement in baby weight, too?

Speaker #5: Is there going to be an endpoint looking at what percentile the baby grows to? I know you said these are third percentile or less.

Speaker #5: Are you trying to get the baby up to the fifth or tenth percentile? I don't really know what the number would be, or is this simply gestational extension, which hopefully leads to an improvement in baby weight too?

Speaker #3: Yeah, we'll be looking for changes to that. I think the two main ones we're looking at initially are the gestational days, because we do believe keeping baby in mom longer should result in larger, healthier babies.

Rick Pauls: Yeah. We will be looking for changes of that. I think the two main ones we are looking at initially is the gestational days, because we do believe keeping baby in mom longer should result in larger, healthier babies. We will also be looking at the dilation of the intrauterine arteries. Typically, if a mother is not getting a treatment, there is no effect that that dilation should be worsening with time. If we can even see a stabilization to an improvement, that would be super encouraging. Yeah, and there will be a series of other endpoints that we will be looking at as well for the study.

Speaker #3: We'll also be looking at the dilation of intrauterine arteries. Typically, if a mother is not getting treatment, there’s no effect; that dilation should be worsening with time.

Speaker #3: So if we can even see a stabilization to an improvement, that would be super encouraging. Yeah, and then there will be a series of other endpoints that we'll be looking at as well for the study.

Speaker #5: And then, just for the Part 1A data that you shared today, I'm assuming you tracked the same endpoints that you did in prior cohorts—around placental transfer, uterine dilation, and intrauterine artery dilation.

Thomas Flaten: Just for the Part 1a data that you shared today, I am assuming you tracked the same endpoints that you did in prior cohorts around placental transfer, uterine dilation, and intrauterine artery dilation. Will that be presented at some point, or how are you thinking about disclosing those other endpoints?

Speaker #5: Will that be presented at some point, or how are you thinking about disclosing those other endpoints?

Speaker #3: Yeah, so our collaborators are preparing to submit for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and will be sharing the full dataset there.

Rick Pauls: Yeah. So our collaborators are preparing to submit for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and sharing the full data set there.

Speaker #5: Got it. And then one final one on Remedy 2, assuming enrollment pace picks up from July, once you hit the 200 and get past the endpoint for the data to get to the DSMB, how close will you be to that initial target of total enrollment, do you think, at that point when you do the interim analysis readout?

Thomas Flaten: Got it. One final one on ReMEDy2. Assuming enrollment pace picks up from July, once you hit the 200 and get past the endpoint for the data to get to the DSMB, how close will you be to that initial target of total enrollment, do you think, at that point when you do the interim analysis readout?

Speaker #3: Yeah. So after patient 200 is dosed, there'll be a 90-day follow-up for the primary endpoint. And then there'll be another four to six weeks for the data analysis, and then at that point we'll provide a public update.

Rick Pauls: Yeah. So after patient 200 is dosed, there will be a 90-day follow-up for the primary endpoint. Then there will be another four to six weeks for the data analysis. Then at what point we will provide a public update. During that period of time, we will continue to be dosing patients. So hopefully we will be getting closer and closer to 300 patients, what we think will be potential the base case in terms of the study.

Speaker #3: And during that period of time, we will continue to be dosing patients. So hopefully, we'll be getting closer and closer to 300 patients so that we think would be potential the base case in terms of the study.

Speaker #5: Got it. Thank you.

Thomas Flaten: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Matthew Caulfield with HC Wainwright. Your line is open.

Operator: Your next question comes from Matthew Caufield with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.

Speaker #7: Hi. Thank you. Hi, Rick and team. Congrats on the interim dataset. So for the phase Q3 Remedy trial, the interim analysis looks like it's slightly shifted from fourth quarter to early 27.

Matthew Caufield: Hi, thank you. Hi, Rick and team. Congrats on the interim data set. For the phase II-III ReMEDy2 trial, the interim analysis looks like it is slightly shifted from Q4 to early 2027. You have noted the 85% enrolled towards the interim analysis. Have there been any nuances for the recruitment process to date or how that could possibly translate to the ease of real-world patient selection in the future? Thanks a lot.

Speaker #7: You've noted the 85% enrolled towards the interim analysis. Have there been any nuances for the recruitment process to date, or how that could possibly translate to the ease of real-world patient selection in the future?

Speaker #7: Thanks a lot.

Speaker #3: Yeah. I mean, this trial has been very interesting. We'll get one month where we have very significant enrollment, and then the following month drops off substantially.

Rick Pauls: Yeah, this trial has been very interesting. We will get 1 month where we get very significant enrollment, and then the following drops off substantially. It is odd in terms of how it goes. In terms of practical real-world use, I think the big benefit of this drug here is the safety profile. We think this drug will be able to be used in community hospitals. Because of that, I think we are very excited about the prospects of completing this trial and getting this drug to patients and starting to treat them.

Speaker #3: And so it's odd in terms of how it goes. But in terms of practical, in terms of real-world use, I think the big benefit of this drug here is the safety profile.

Speaker #3: So we think we'll be able to this drug will be able to be used in community hospitals. And so because of that, I think very excited about the prospects of getting this drug getting complete in this trial and getting this drug to patients and starting to treat them.

Speaker #7: Got it. Thank you, I appreciate it.

Matthew Caufield: Got it. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Your line is open.

Operator: Your next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Your line is open.

Speaker #7: Good morning, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. This is Jay Conford from Chase. I was wondering, for the company-sponsored Phase 2, can you just walk us through the timelines to be in the clinic in both the UK and the US?

[Analyst] (Craig-Hallum): Morning, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. This is Jake on for Chase. I was wondering, for the company-sponsored phase II, can you just walk us through the timelines to be in the clinic in both the UK and the US?

Speaker #3: Yeah, so for the company-sponsored trial for early onset preeclampsia, we're targeting late this year. And then for the U.K., we're just going through the regulatory process.

Rick Pauls: Yeah. For the company-sponsored trial for the early-onset preeclampsia, we are targeting late this year. For the UK, we are just going through the regulatory process, so hopefully, a similar time, maybe that is into early 2027.

Speaker #3: And so, hopefully, a similar time—maybe that's into early 2027.

Speaker #7: Okay. And is there any more detail on the regulatory process in the UK that we could get?

[Analyst] (Craig-Hallum): Okay, is there any more detail on the regulatory process in the UK that we could get?

Speaker #3: No, we're just going through the process. We've identified, for the submission process, three great sites, and we're working through them in terms of getting the study to launch.

Rick Pauls: No, we are just going through the process. Through the submission process, we have identified three great sites, and we are working through them in terms of getting the study to launch. In total, we have got five sites. We have got three in the UK and two in Canada. Again, in total, we are targeting 30 patients, and the protocol is very similar to the IST that is also running concurrently.

Speaker #3: So in total, we've got five sites. So we've got three in the UK and two in Canada. And again, in total, we're targeting 30 patients.

Speaker #3: And the protocol is very similar to the IST that's also running concurrently.

Speaker #7: Thank you. Appreciate that color.

[Analyst] (Craig-Hallum): Thank you. Appreciate that color.

Speaker #4: That concludes our Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to Rick Pauls for any closing remarks.
