D-PLEX100: Achieved significant results in SHIELD II Phase III trial, showing a 38% reduction in surgical site infections (SSI) in abdominal colorectal surgeries. Demonstrated a 58% reduction in SSI rates compared to standard care, with no deep SSIs in the D-PLEX100 group. The product also showed a 62% reduction in patients with severe wound infections (ASEPSIS score >20). Safety profile was favorable, with no difference in serious adverse events compared to standard care. NDA submission to FDA expected in early 2026, with European MAA submission shortly thereafter.
GLP-1 program: Launched a new initiative targeting the weight loss and diabetes market. The program aims to deliver a 60-day no-burst GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide for improved patient compliance and outcomes. Represents an expansion into the metabolic disease market.
U.S. market for D-PLEX100: The total addressable market includes over 12 million surgeries annually, with 4.4 million abdominal surgeries and 2.1 million abdominal procedures in gynecology and urology. SSIs cost the U.S. healthcare system up to $10 billion annually, and D-PLEX100 offers a significant value proposition by reducing these costs.
European market for D-PLEX100: An exclusive licensing agreement with Advance Pharma is in place to commercialize D-PLEX100 across Europe. Prelaunch activities are underway to maximize the product's anticipated launch.
Financial position: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $29.5 million as of June 30, 2025, up from $15.6 million at the end of 2024. This was achieved through a successful warrant exercise inducement transaction, extending the cash runway well into 2026.
Leadership update: Dr. Nurit Tweezer-Zaks appointed as Chief Medical Officer, transitioning from the Board of Directors. Brings extensive medical R&D and business development expertise to support NDA submission and commercial preparations.
Partnership strategy for D-PLEX100: Actively seeking a U.S. partner with a hospital-focused sales force to maximize sales potential. Increased interest from potential partners following positive Phase III data. In Europe, partnership with Advance Pharma is already established.
Regulatory Risks: The company is preparing for a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA and anticipates submitting the NDA in early 2026.

Financial Risks: The company reported a net loss of $10 million for Q2 2025 and $18.2 million for the first half of 2025. While the cash runway is extended into 2026, continued losses and increased expenses in R&D, G&A, and marketing could strain financial resources if revenue generation is delayed.
Commercialization Risks: The success of D-PLEX100 depends on securing a U.S. partner with a hospital-focused sales force. Delays or failures in partnership agreements could hinder the product's market penetration and sales potential.
Market Competition: The company is entering the competitive metabolic disease market with its GLP-1 program. Competing against established players in this rapidly growing market could pose challenges in gaining market share.
Operational Risks: The company is heavily reliant on the success of D-PLEX100 and its GLP-1 program. Any setbacks in clinical trials, manufacturing, or supply chain disruptions could significantly impact operations and strategic objectives.
Regulatory Submissions: PolyPid plans to hold a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA by the end of 2025 and anticipates submitting the NDA for D-PLEX100 in early 2026. A marketing authorization application (MAA) submission in Europe is expected shortly thereafter.
