CORAL GABLES, FL – March 19, 2026 (Globe Newswire) – Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD, “Relmada” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for oncology and central nervous system disorders, today reported audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a corporate update highlighting significant progress across its pipeline.
“This has truly been a transformational year for Relmada, marked by significant progress with our lead program NDV-01”, said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada Therapeutics. “Our recently reported 12-month data for NDV-01 demonstrated durable complete responses with a favorable safety profile, reinforcing the program’s potential to become a best-in-class therapy for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. With a successful $160M PIPE financing and regulatory alignment with the FDA on two registrational pathways, we believe that we are well positioned to advance NDV-01 into the Phase 3 RESCUE program in mid-2026. Our team is now focused on executing this plan and initiating the RESCUE registrational program as we work to bring NDV-01 to patients as efficiently as possible.”
“NDV-01’s compelling efficacy, durability, and favorable safety profile, combined with operational ease-of-use are the cornerstone of its differentiated product profile and best-in-class potential” said Raj S. Pruthi, MD, Chief Medical Officer-Oncology of Relmada Therapeutics. “We continue to be encouraged by the high response rates and durable clinical benefit observed through 12 months, including in the BCG-unresponsive population, alongside a favorable safety profile with no ≥ Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related discontinuations. Our clinical program builds on the urologic oncology community’s comfort with conventional Gem/Doce’s efficacy and safety profile with a sustained release product that could provide physicians and patients with a streamlined, less than 5-minute in-office procedure. These results reinforce our confidence as we advance NDV-01 into the Phase 3 RESCUE registrational program in mid-2026.”
Highlights of the 12-month follow-up data from the ongoing Phase 2 study of NDV-01:
In the 12-month follow-up of the Phase 2a study (March 9, 2026 Company press release) treatment with NDV-01 produced:
| ● | Durable 76% complete response (CR) rate at 12 months with 95% CR rate at any time in high-risk NMIBC |
| ● | BCG-unresponsive patients achieved an 80% CR rate at 12 months and 94% CR rate at any time |
| ● | No patient had progression to muscle-invasive disease, and no patient underwent a radical cystectomy |
| ● | Favorable overall tolerability – no ≥ Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related discontinuations or dose interruptions. |
Phase 3 RESCUE Registrational Pathways:
As previously disclosed in the Company’s January 12, 2026 regulatory update, Relmada has received written feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirming alignment on two registrational development pathways for NDV-01, including study design, patient populations and primary endpoints.
Registrational Pathway 1 – An open label randomized controlled trial in intermediate-risk NMIBC of adjuvant therapy following TURBT (NDV-01 vs. observation). There are no approved treatments for adjuvant intermediate risk NMIBC, which we estimate affect ~75,000 patients/year in the US. The primary endpoint of the study is disease free survival (DFS).
Registration Pathway 2 – A single-arm trial in second line (2L) BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ (CIS) patients who are currently refractory to approved or developmental therapies. Patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS who fail first line (1L) therapies, which we estimate to affect ~5,000 patients/year in the US, have few, if any, effective treatment alternatives to radical cystectomy. The primary endpoint of the study is complete response (CR) rate at any time.
Expected Upcoming Relmada Milestones:
| ● | NDV-01 United States IND clearance – Mid-2026 |
| ● | NDV-01 Phase 3 RESCUE Program initiation – Mid-2026 |
| ● | Sepranolone Phase 2 initiation in Prader-Willi syndrome – Mid-2026 |
| ● | Initial 3-month NDV-01 data from Phase 3 2L BCG-unresponsive study expected by YE 2026 |

Financial Results
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
| ● | Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $8.1 million, compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.9 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in study costs associated with the completion of two Phase 3 trials for REL-1017, partially offset by increased costs related to the start-up the Phase 3 NDV-01 trials and Phase 2b sepranolone study and additional R&D personnel. |
| ● | General and administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $12.3 million compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $4.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation costs partially offset by a decrease in stock based compensation costs. |
| ● | Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $14.6 million compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. |
| ● | The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $19.9 million, or $0.27 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $18.6 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. |
Twelve Month Ended December 31, 2025 Financial Results
| ● | Research and development (R&D) expense for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $26.9 million, compared to $46.2 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $19.3 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in study costs associated with completion and conclusion of two Phase 3 trials for REL-1017, partially offset by increased costs related to the acquisition of NDV-01 and sepranolone, as well as the start-up of the Phase 3 NDV-01 trials and Phase 2b sepranolone study. |
| ● | General and administrative (G&A) expense for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $32.2 million compared to $37.7 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $5.5 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and lower professional fees, partially offset by an increase in personnel-related costs. |
| ● | Net cash used in operating activities for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $45.8 million compared to $51.8 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024. |
| ● | The net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, was $57.4 million, or $1.45 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $80.0 million, or $2.65 per basic and diluted share, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024. |
| ● | The Company’s cash balance of $93.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, includes net proceeds of approximately $94 million from an underwritten stock offering announced November 5, 2025. This compares to cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $44.9 million at December 31, 2024. |
| ● | On March 9, 2026, the Company announced a private financing with gross proceeds of $160 million. This financing, along with the cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2025, is expected to provide sufficient resources to fund Company operations through 2029, including completion of the Phase 3 NDV-01 RESCUE program. |
| ● | The Company had 104,890,223 shares outstanding, as of March 16, 2026 |

About NDV-01
NDV-01 is a sustained-release, intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (Gem/Doce), in development for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It is designed to enable Gem/Doce bladder retention and gradual drug release over 10 days. The formulation creates a soft matrix that enhances local exposure while minimizing systemic toxicity. The NDV-01 formulation is ready to use, convenient to administer in-office in less than 5 minutes and does not require anesthesia or specialized equipment. It is protected by patents through 2038.
About the Phase 2 Study
The Phase 2 study (NCT06663137) is an open-label, single-arm, single-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in patients with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HG-NMIBC). Patients are treated with NDV-01 in a biweekly induction phase, followed by monthly maintenance for up to one year, with regular assessments via cystoscopy, cytology, and biopsy, as indicated. The primary efficacy endpoints are safety and complete response rate (CRR) at 12 months, and secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (DOR) and event free survival (EFS).
About NMIBC
NMIBC represents 75-80% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence (50 – 80% over 5 years). With over 744,000 prevalent cases in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. High-grade BCG-unresponsive disease represents one of the most difficult-to-treat NMIBC subtypes, with limited bladder-sparing options. Intermediate-risk NMIBC in the adjuvant setting has no currently approved therapies. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a frontline or salvage therapy and could be applicable across multiple NMIBC subtypes.
About Sepranolone and GABA Modulation
Sepranolone, a synthetic isoallopregnanolone, selectively modulates GABAA receptors by antagonizing allopregnanolone (ALLO), without disrupting GABA signaling. It targets disorders linked to excess GABAergic activity such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Tourette syndrome, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). More than 335 patients have been treated with sepranolone in clinical trials to date, with an excellent safety profile.
4
About Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
PWS is a rare genetic disorder caused by chromosomal deletions on chromosome 15, leading to neurodevelopmental and behavioral complications. Global prevalence is estimated to be 350,000-400,000 patients. Current treatments address symptoms but do not modify the underlying neurobehavioral pathology.
About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.
Relmada Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative therapies for oncology and central nervous system conditions. Its lead candidates, NDV-01 and sepranolone, are advancing through mid-stage clinical development with the potential to address significant unmet needs.
