RDHL News & Events

RedHill Biopharma (RDHL) announced that the full sales and operational launch of Talicia, under the joint commercialization agreement between Talicia Holdings, or THI, and Cumberland Pharmaceuticals (CPIX), has started and is now being rolled out to support accelerated market penetration and expanded reach. This marks the operational launch of the joint commercialization model previously announced in October 2025, including Cumberland's $4M strategic investment. "H. pylori infection affects 35% of the U.S. adult population and is a leading cause of gastric cancer, responsible for approximately 11,000 related U.S. deaths a year," said Rick Scruggs, President of THI and RedHill's COO. Talicia is the only FDA-approved all-in-one, low-dose rifabutin-based H. pylori therapy designed to address growing antibiotic resistance concerns to other available therapies. It is listed as a first-line H. pylori treatment option in the 2024 American College of Gastroenterology Clinical Guideline, which emphasizes using 14-day, "optimized" regimens for the first attempt to maximize cure rates and avoid the need for complex, less-effective salvage therapies4. It is patent protected through 2042 and received eight years of U.S. market exclusivity under its Qualified Infectious Disease Product designation. Talicia is also the only FDA-approved medication for H. pylori infection with an all-in-one formulation, with the added benefit of simple dosing. RedHill continues to work towards expanding patient access to Talicia globally. Efforts focused on potential new market entries in the UK and the Middle East, along with work to further broaden market access and secure additional non-dilutive ex-U.S. licensing revenue streams, are ongoing.

RedHill Biopharma announced development progress for RHB-102 in multiple GI indications, including its development, via the accelerated FDA 505(b)(2) route, as a once-daily oral ondansetron therapy for GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist therapy-associated GI side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, that are estimated to significantly limit growth in the multi-billion-dollar GLP-1 market. RedHill further announced that it is currently pursuing potential U.S. FDA approval of RHB-102 for oncology support, with additional potential for use in post-operative nausea and vomiting. If approved by FDA, RHB-102 could be the first oral 24-hour extended-release ondansetron antiemetic drug for the treatment of CINV/RINV. Expansion of RHB-102's intellectual property coverage for relevant indications, including GLP-1-associated nausea and vomiting, has also advanced.

RedHill Biopharma announced positive in vivo results, indicating that opaganib combined with venetoclax reduces Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, CLL, cells by half compared to controls, and further demonstrates opaganib's potential as an add-on therapy to venetoclax in venetoclax-resistant CLL. Key highlights: Studies show that sphingosine kinase 2 is overexpressed in venetoclax-resistant cancer cells and that SPHK2 inhibition may reduce T-cell-induced activation and proliferation of venetoclax-resistant CLL cancer cells and resensitize previously resistant CLL cells; New in vivo study shows adding opaganib, a potent SPHK2 inhibitor, to venetoclax reduces CLL cell counts by 50% compared to controls and lowered CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts compared to controls with lowered PD1 expression; Data shows opaganib's venetoclax combination potential in CLL; builds on multiple preclinical studies demonstrating opaganib's therapeutic add-on potential in oncology; further clinical evaluation ongoing in a Phase 2 study of opaganib + darolutamide in advanced prostate cancer; Opaganib has a safety and tolerability profile shown in more than 470 clinical trials / expanded access participants. It targets multiple oncology, virology, inflammation, diabetes and obesity indications, with several U.S. government partnerships, including BARDA funding, in place
