Atossa Therapeutics Announces Acceptance of Manuscript Highlighting Utrophin-Modulation Potential of (Z)-Endoxifen in Duchenne Muscular DystrophyMay 20, 2026 4:45 PM
PR Newswire (US) Review article accepted for publication in Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease and builds on Atossa's previously published Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) researchSEATTLE, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS) (Atossa or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies in oncology and other areas of significant unmet clinical need, today announced that the manuscript titled, "(Z)-Endoxifen as a Potential Modulator of Utrophin Pathways in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Mechanistic and Transcriptomic Perspective," has been accepted for publication in Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease. The review centers on utrophin, a structural and functional homolog of dystrophin. Utrophin may partially compensate for dystrophin deficiency by supporting sarcolemmal and muscle-cell membrane stability when dystrophin is absent or deficient. The manuscript describes how (Z)-endoxifen, the primary active metabolite of tamoxifen, could create a cellular environment that favors utrophin expression, localization, and function, which could potentially influence disease-relevant processes, such as protein kinase C beta-1 signaling, estrogen receptor signaling, calcium homeostasis, inflammation, fibrosis, mitochondrial function, and muscle regeneration. The authors describe (Z)-endoxifen as a compelling mechanistic candidate in treating DMD and identified next steps including preclinical evaluation in dystrophin-deficient models and biomarker development focused on utrophin expression and localization, calcium handling, PKC activity, developmental myosin, transcriptomic signatures, and muscle composition imaging."This publication advances our scientific rationale for studying (Z)-endoxifen through the lens of utrophin biology, one of the most compelling mutation-agnostic strategies in DMD," said Dr. Steven C. Quay, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Atossa Therapeutics. "DMD remains a devastating disease with significant unmet need, and we are encouraged by the mechanistic and transcriptomic evidence suggesting that (Z)-endoxifen may help support pathways involved in utrophin-mediated muscle stabilization and repair."The new article builds on Atossa's previously published DMD manuscript in Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease, "A Hypothesized Therapeutic Role of (Z)-Endoxifen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy" (L. Remmel, 2025), which introduced the broader rationale for evaluating (Z)-endoxifen in DMD. The accepted manuscript builds upon that work by placing greater emphasis on utrophin pathway biology as a potential unifying mechanism for (Z)-endoxifen's multi-pathway effects.The manuscript was authored by H. Lawrence Remmel, Sandra S. Hammer, Scott M. Blackburn, and Steven C. Quay. The authors also acknowledge input from Dame Professor Kay E. Davies, CBE FRS FMedSci, Emeritus Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford.About Duchenne Muscular DystrophyDMD is a rare, progressive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which encodes dystrophin, a protein essential for maintaining muscle-cell structural integrity. Loss of functional dystrophin causes muscle fibers to become fragile and susceptible to contraction-induced damage, leading over time to progressive weakness, fibrosis, loss of ambulation, cardiomyopathy, respiratory failure, and premature death.About Atossa TherapeuticsAtossa Therapeutics, Inc.

Atossa Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Financial Results and Provides a Corporate UpdateMarch 25, 2026 5:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)

SEATTLE, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) (Atossa or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies in oncology and other areas of high unmet clinical need, today announces its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and provides an update on recent corporate developments.







"While we have consistently made meaningful and measurable progress across our (Z)-endoxifen development strategy in oncology over the last 12 months, we continue to explore the best opportunities to leverage the technology where it may help to address serious health conditions and unmet medical needs. As we continue to keep a careful eye on opportunities in the breast cancer space, we are also diligently working to advance (Z)-endoxifen in certain rare disease indications, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS)," stated Dr. Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa Therapeutics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "To date, we have published work that identifies the opportunity for (Z)-endoxifen, while achieving both FDA Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations. We believe these FDA designations are important for future development as they both help to speed the FDA review process as well as provide potential financial benefits in the future.""In the meantime, we are consciously aligning our resources with the demands of potential commercialization, even as we have added new professionals to our team to help drive both our rare disease and breast cancer programs forward. With a strong balance sheet and a strategically focused team, we believe we are well-positioned to execute and advance our clinical programs toward key value-creating milestones," concluded Dr. Quay.Clinical & Regulatory Progress & AnnouncementsAtossa Highlighted Emerging Opportunity for (Z)-Endoxifen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Including Symptomatic Female Carriers, Following Peer-Reviewed Publication and Scientific Presentation - The published article, "A Hypothesized Therapeutic Role of (Z)-Endoxifen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)," surveys the DMD treatment landscape and details how (Z)-endoxifen's pharmacology could address multiple downstream drivers of disease, including inflammation, fibrosis, calcium dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid abnormalities. The paper emphasizes (Z)-endoxifen's direct estrogen-receptor (ER) modulation, allosteric inhibition of PKC (notably PKC-ß1), and effects along AKT/mTOR and NF-?B axes, mechanisms that together may help slow disease progression when used as an adjunct to standard care. Notably, the authors underscore (Z)-endoxifen's potential to deliver more consistent therapeutic exposures than tamoxifen by bypassing CYP2D6 metabolic variability, an important limitation of the pro-drug approach. As illustrated in the mechanistic diagram, page 7 of the publication, the paper maps (Z)-endoxifen's ER-dependent and ER-independent signaling effects relevant to dystrophic muscle.Atossa Therapeutics Received FDA Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for (Z)-Endoxifen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - In December 2025, Atossa announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted Rare Pediatric Disease ("RPD") designation to (Z)-endoxifen for the treatment of DMD. RPD designation is granted to drug candidates intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect individuals from birth to 18 years of age. Upon approval of a qualifying marketing application, drugs with RPD designation may be eligible for a Priority Review Voucher ("PRV"), which can be used to obtain priority review for a future application or may be sold or transferred to another sponsor. In the last 18–24 months, disclosed PRV sales have ranged from $100–$200 million.Atossa Therapeutics Won the 2025 Clinical Trials Arena Research and Development Excellence Award in Precision Endocrine Therapy Category - In December 2025, Atossa announced that it had been selected as a winner of the 2025 Clinical Trials Arena Excellence Awards. The Company was honored with the Research and Development Award in the Precision Endocrine Therapy category. Atossa earned this recognition for its innovative work advancing (Z)-endoxifen, its lead precision-engineered endocrine therapy. (Z)-endoxifen is a potent selective estrogen receptor modulator/degrader (SERM/D) with additional PKCß1 inhibition, designed to provide consistent systemic exposure independent of CYP2D6 metabolism. The therapy is being evaluated across metastatic, neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and breast cancer risk-reduction settings, with an emerging application in DMD.Atossa Therapeutics Received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for (Z)-Endoxifen for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - In January 2026, Atossa announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") Office of Orphan Products Development ("OOPD") granted Orphan Drug Designation to (Z)-endoxifen for the treatment of DMD. Orphan Drug Designation is granted by FDA to therapies intended to treat rare diseases or conditions. The designation is designed to encourage drug development by offering certain potential incentives, such as regulatory support and, if the product ultimately receives marketing approval for the designated indication, eligibility for a period of market exclusivity.Atossa Announces Additions to Management TeamAtossa Therapeutics Strengthened Clinical Leadership Team with the Addition of Two Experienced Biopharma Executives - Atossa announced the engagement of Kathy Puyana Theall, M.D., as Medical Director - Breast Oncology, and Adebola Giwa, M.D., as Medical Director - Rare Diseases. We believe the addition of these two highly experienced physicians and clinical leaders meaningfully strengthens Atossa's ability to execute on its (Z)-endoxifen development strategy across both breast cancer and rare disease programs, including DMD and MAS, as the Company advances toward key clinical and regulatory milestones.Comparison of Years-Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $37.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was an increase of $9.5 million, from the year ended December 31, 2024 of $27.6 million. Factors contributing to the increased operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2025 are explained below.Research & Development Expenses. The following table provides a breakdown of major categories within R&D expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, together with the dollar change in those categories (dollars in thousands):

The increase in cash compensation expense compared to the prior year was primarily driven by salary, bonus and severance costs for a former executive of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash bonus related to terminations and reductions in expected bonus payouts in 2025. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense increase was driven by an increase in the fair value of grants to members of our Board of Directors (the Board) which amortize over one year.G&A professional fees and other expenses increased by $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year due primarily to an increase in legal fees of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 driven by the costs for our ongoing litigation and patent defense which increased by $1.6 million compared to the prior year. Investor relations expense increased by $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year due to changes in investor outreach and broader investor relations strategy. Partially offsetting the increases, our accounting fees decreased by $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year due to the inclusion of higher auditor fees associated with our 2024 Registration Statement on Form S-3 and our at the market offering facility.The decrease in G&A insurance expense of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year was due primarily to lower negotiated insurance premiums associated with our Director's and Officer's insurance and other key insurance policies in 2025.Interest Income. Interest income of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 represented a decrease of $1.7 million compared to the prior year, and was due primarily to a decrease in the average funds invested in our money market account.Impairment Charge on Investment in Equity Securities.

Atossa Therapeutics Issues Letter to Shareholders Highlighting 2025 Accomplishments and 2026 OutlookFebruary 11, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

SEATTLE, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) ("Atossa" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies in oncology and other areas of high unmet need, today issued a letter to Shareholders from Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer, providing an update on the Company's clinical programs and recent events. The full text of the letter follows:







To our valued shareholders,In looking back on 2025, Atossa made meaningful progress advancing proprietary oral (Z)-endoxifen toward clear, value-creating regulatory and clinical milestones. Throughout the year, we refined our development strategy within oncology as well identifying areas of opportunity beyond oncology where (Z)-endoxifen can potentially address rare disease conditions with significant unmet need. Additionally, investments were made to continue to strengthen our intellectual property estate and deepen our leadership experience by adding key members to our leadership team that will drive regulatory and clinical progress and support future commercial readiness. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)2025: Building Momentum Around an Accelerated Regulatory Oncology StrategyRegulatory and Development Strategy - Clarity with the FDAA major strategic milestone in late 2025 was our completion of a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (November 17, 2025) focused on regulatory strategy for advancing (Z)-endoxifen in the breast cancer setting. We received feedback on potential expedited pathways and development options spanning metastatic disease, neoadjuvant treatment, and risk-reduction settings, helping to clarify potential routes to accelerate development and regulatory review in oncology and non-oncology indications. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Advancements in Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Therapy: I-SPY 2 Endocrine Optimization Pilot (EOP) StudiesAtossa currently has several "I-SPY 2" studies underway investigating (Z)-endoxifen neoadjuvant activity as a monotherapy as well as (Z)-endoxifen as a combination therapy with two partner drugs: 1) abemaciclib (VERZENIO®), a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor marketed by Eli Lilly and Company; and 2) elagolix (ORILISSA®), a prescription medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis marketed by AbbVie, Inc.In the monotherapy arm of this trial, twenty women with newly diagnosed ER+/HER- breast cancer received daily 10 mg doses of (Z)-endoxifen for one month prior to surgery. Preliminary data indicate that (Z)-endoxifen was well tolerated and resulted in reductions in: Ki-67% (a general measure of tumor activity); functional tumor volume or FTV (as measured by MRI); and the longest diameter of the index lesions.Enrollment under the combination therapy arms of this trial involving (Z)-endoxifen with abemaciclib, and in some cases additional ovarian function suppression treatment, is nearly complete, and we expect data to be available during the second half of 2026. Enrollment in the remaining arms, involving (Z)-endoxifen in combination with elagolix and GnRH agonist, are near completion, with preliminary data expected in the second quarter of 2026, and extending into the second half of the year.Metastatic Breast Cancer UpdateDuring the fourth quarter of 2025, we submitted an IND application to the FDA, outlining a Phase 2 dosing study with Project Optimus design features, and subsequently received notice that our "Study May Proceed." However, after careful evaluation of the overall cost and timeline required to conduct Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials in this indication, we have decided to pause our investment in (Z)-endoxifen for Metastatic Breast Cancer, allowing us to prioritize and focus our resources on other areas of oncology and other rare diseases with higher potential return on investments.Leveraging (Z)-Endoxifen Beyond OncologyIn addition to the oncology focus for (Z)-endoxifen, 2025 also demonstrated the broader potential of (Z)-endoxifen as a therapeutic platform in additional serious diseases. The following indications underscore the growing scientific evidence supporting the role of estrogen signaling modulation in muscle preservation and inflammation and highlights the potential of (Z)-endoxifen beyond oncology.Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

DMD is a serious, progressive, and fatal neuromuscular disease that primarily affects boys, leading to loss of muscle function, loss of ambulation, and life-threatening heart and respiratory complications. (Z)-Endoxifen's direct estrogen-receptor modulation, PKC inhibition, and effects on key signaling pathways could be relevant in addressing various pathologies associated with DMD, including inflammation, fibrosis, and cardiomyopathy. Through its potential ability to upregulate utrophin, (Z)-endoxifen can help stabilize muscle health, including muscle growth, repair, and fibrosis. FDA engagement commenced in Q4 2025.In December 2025 and early in 2026, Atossa received two FDA designations for (Z)-endoxifen for the treatment of DMD: 1) Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and 2) Orphan Drug Designation. These designations provide the Company with several potential strategic benefits, including incentives, such as a potential Priority Review Voucher (PRV) for future FDA applications, other regulatory support, and potential market exclusivity for a period of time. PRV's, which were recently reauthorized by legislation, could create significant value to the Company and could represent a meaningful non-dilutive value opportunity, either through use in another Atossa program or monetization through sale to another party.Women Carriers of DMD(Z)-Endoxifen has also shown potential relevance in symptomatic female Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy carriers, an under-recognized population in which a subset may experience skeletal-muscle symptoms or develop dilated cardiomyopathy in adult life. The work done in 2025, including our manuscript entitled, "(Z)-Endoxifen as a Modulator of Utrophin Pathways in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy," will continue to inform our hypotheses and clinical trial protocols in 2026.McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS)MAS is a rare, non-inherited genetic disorder caused by a postzygotic GNAS mutation, affecting bones, skin, and the endocrine system, with symptoms typically appearing in early childhood. In young girls (as early as 2 years old), early onset puberty can occur (Precocious Puberty) which can have a very significant effect on quality of life, and limit growth. (Z)-Endoxifen could prove to be an effective hormone blocker significantly reducing the effects of precocious puberty until young girls reach a more typical age for the onset of puberty and related developmental changes.Collectively, we believe these non-oncology target milestones highlight the versatility of our proprietary molecule and demonstrate how Atossa can selectively pursue high-impact opportunities outside breast cancer, without diverting resources from our core clinical and regulatory priorities.2025: Strengthening our FoundationIntellectual Property ExpansionThe (Z)-endoxifen intellectual property estate continues to be reinforced, as demonstrated by the issuance of a U.S. patent covering enteric oral formulations and methods of use, supporting the differentiated oral approach designed to preserve the active (Z)-isomer and enable consistent systemic exposure. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)We are vigorously defending Atossa's intellectual property, which is subject of the ongoing U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) proceedings with Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. This litigation seeks to invalidate certain patents owned by the Company related to the manufacturing processes for (Z)-endoxifen. The Company is pursuing multiple paths for resolution through the USPTO, as well as potential settlement terms that would be mutually acceptable to both parties. Future updates pertaining to this matter are anticipated in the first half of 2026.Team Strengthening for Execution and Commercial ReadinessExecution is strategy. During 2025, we added experienced leaders to support regulatory execution and long-term commercial preparation—most notably:Janet R. Rea, MSPH, appointed SVP, R&D, to oversee late-stage (Z)-endoxifen programs with near-term priorities of advancing clinical development and defining pathways to commercialization. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Appointment of Mark Daniel, CPA as Chief Financial Officer to lead finance, systems, and capital strategy aligned to commercial readiness. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)RecognitionWe were honored to receive the 2025 Clinical Trials Arena R&D Excellence Award in the Precision Endocrine Therapy category, reflecting growing awareness of the utility of (Z)-endoxifen across oncology and other indications, as well as external validation of our focus and progress. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Financial Discipline and FocusThroughout 2025, we emphasized efficiency, disciplined capital allocation, and operational focus. In our Q3 2025 update, we reiterated our intent to execute against planned regulatory submissions and advance our clinical programs toward key milestones, supported by a strong balance sheet and financial discipline. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)We entered 2026 with more than $40 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we believe supports more than one year of working capital. Additionally, in late 2025, we initiated the process to affect a reverse stock split, which was effective on February 2, 2026. We believe this will allow us to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements early in 2026. With this behind us, and a strong balance sheet, we plan to continue to execute the priorities of the Company with resources aligned to those activities with the highest return on investment to the Company.2026 Outlook: Selective Expansion with Capital DisciplineIn 2026, our priorities are designed to convert strategic clarity into measurable progress:Regulatory Execution
Building on FDA feedback received in 2025, we expect 2026 to include continued regulatory interactions to further clinically-related activities for accelerated development strategy, including drug combinations and opportunities beyond oncology where appropriate. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Oncology Priorities, Partnership-first Approach
a) I-SPY 2: (Z)-Endoxifen Combination Therapy Partnering Opportunities
We plan to complete enrollment in the combination therapy arms of the neo-adjuvant I-SPY 2 EOP in the first half of 2026, with preliminary data becoming available throughout the year as enrollment and treatment concludes. With this data, we plan to cultivate meaningful partnership opportunities for (Z)-endoxifen as a combination therapy with existing partners (Lilly and AbbVie) as well as potential new partner candidates.
b) EVANGELINE: Complete Enrollment and Data Generation with the Mayo Clinic
Enrollment in the EVANGELINE study will conclude by mid-year with preliminary data becoming available in late 2026. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Non-oncology Focused Priorities
a)  Evaluate funding and non-dilutive partnering opportunities related to non-oncology indications, including DMD, women carriers of DMD, MAS, and other exploratory programs, where appropriate.
b)  Advance strategic planning for DMD, including assessment of development pathways and clinical trial designs that leverage the Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations while minimizing upfront capital requirements.
c)  Preserve focus on capital efficiency, so that any expansion beyond oncology is aligned with shareholder value creation and does not detract from execution of our oncology programs.Ongoing IP Strengthening and Business Development ReadinessWe will continue investing in a durable IP foundation and the operational capabilities required to support late-stage development and, if supported by clinical data, future commercialization. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)ClosingAtossa enters 2026 with a clear regulatory roadmap, expanded clinical evidence in oncology and areas of significant unmet need in non-oncology, strengthened leadership, and a sharpened focus on the milestones that matter. Our mission remains straightforward: develop a differentiated, patient-centered endocrine therapy that can meaningfully improve outcomes across the breast cancer spectrum and other therapeutic areas with significant unmet need, and create sustainable value for shareholders along the way. (Atossa Therapeutics Investors)Thank you for your continued support.Sincerely,
Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D.

Atossa Therapeutics Maintains Strong Market Position for (Z)-Endoxifen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy as Congress Reauthorizes Priority Review Voucher ProgramFebruary 5, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Atossa's Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for (Z)-endoxifen in neuromuscular diseases qualifies for a future PRV upon FDA approvalSEATTLE, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) ("Atossa" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies in oncology and other areas of high unmet clinical need, today reaffirmed its strong market position around its Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) program following  yesterday's congressional announcement that it had passed a five-year reauthorization of the Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher ("PRV") Program. The program extends the Company's ability to be eligible to receive a future PRV upon the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") approval following the FDA granting Rare Pediatric Disease ("RPD") designation to (Z)-endoxifen for the treatment of DMD late last year.







RPD designation is granted to drug candidates intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect individuals from birth to 18 years of age. Upon approval of a qualifying marketing application, drugs with RPD designation may be eligible for a PRV, which can be used to obtain priority review for a future application or may be sold or transferred to another sponsor. In the last 18 months, disclosed PRV sales have ranged from $150–$200 million."The renewal of the PRV program represents an important signal from Congress that it understands the complexities and financial burden on the drug development industry. The program's continuation, along with the RPD designation, underscores the validation of the science supporting the potential of (Z)-endoxifen as a treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy," said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer. "DMD is one of the most devastating childhood diseases. Families urgently need better options beyond steroids and gene-targeted approaches. While oncology remains our core focus, this milestone highlights (Z)-endoxifen's potential as a platform therapy in both cancer and rare diseases, opening the door to potential non-dilutive value creation through the Rare Pediatric Disease program.""The passage the PRV reauthorization is a win for all children with serious and rare diseases," said Janet Rea, MSPH, Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Atossa. "We are very encouraged by emerging preclinical data with (Z)-endoxifen and its potential in DMD, and we look forward to advancing this program to the clinic for boys living with DMD. Unlike more recent therapeutic approaches, (Z)-endoxifen does not target specific exon defects, thus potentially offering a broader and more accessible treatment approach for this patient population.

Why not more of a pop on that news?

Atossa Therapeutics Receives FDA Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for (Z)-Endoxifen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

SEATTLE, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) ("Atossa" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies in oncology and other areas of high unmet clinical need, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has granted Rare Pediatric Disease ("RPD") designation to (Z)-Endoxifen for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ("DMD").

RPD designation is granted to drug candidates intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect individuals from birth to 18 years of age. Upon approval of a qualifying marketing application, drugs with RPD designation may be eligible for a Priority Review Voucher ("PRV"), which can be used to obtain priority review for a future application or may be sold or transferred to another sponsor. In the last 18–24 months, disclosed PRV sales have ranged from $100–$160 million.

"This designation is an important regulatory milestone for Atossa, and we believe a strong validation of the science supporting the potential of (Z)-Endoxifen as a treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy," said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer. "DMD is one of the most devastating childhood diseases. Families urgently need better options beyond steroids and gene-targeted approaches. While oncology remains our core focus, this milestone highlights (Z)-Endoxifen's potential as a platform therapy in both cancer and rare diseases, opening the door to potential non-dilutive value creation through the Rare Pediatric Disease program."

"RPD designation provides a regulatory framework and an enhanced level of interaction with the FDA as we define the clinical development path in DMD," said Janet Rea, MSPH, Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Atossa. "We are very encouraged by emerging preclinical data and by (Z)-Endoxifen's potential to be a differentiated mechanism as a potent SERM/D, and look forward to our planned advancement of this program to the clinic for boys living with DMD. Unlike more recent therapeutic approaches, (Z)-Endoxifen does not target specific exon defects, thus potentially offering a broader and more accessible treatment approach for this patient population. Having previously secured IND clearance for what is now the DMD treatment, Exondys 51® (eteplirsen), I am excited to further Atossa's DMD (Z)-Endoxifen program."

About Rare Pediatric Disease Designation

The FDA's Rare Pediatric Disease designation is reserved for serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect individuals from birth to 18 years old and that meet the definition of a rare disease or condition within the meaning of Section 526 of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act ("FD&C Act").

Currently, the FDA may not award any new rare pediatric disease PRVs unless the application is (i) for a drug that is designated as a drug for a rare pediatric disease not later than December 20, 2024, and (ii) is approved under the program not later than September 30, 2026. The House has passed the Mikaela Naylon "Give Kids a Chance Act" to extend voucher-award authority to 2029, with retroactive effect, and the bill is now pending Senate action.

Assuming the program is renewed, drugs granted RPD designation may be eligible for a PRV upon FDA approval of a qualifying New Drug Application or Biologics License Application, provided it meets all statutory criteria under Section 529(a)(4) of the FD&C Act. A PRV may be used by the sponsor or sold or transferred to another company.

New PR, and data release shows that Endoxifen does not only stop the tumor from growing...

It even shows that it eliminates the tumor !!!!!! They cured a patient from breast cancer by taking a simple pill during 6 months!

There hasn't been a post on this board in six weeks. If these Stage 2 trials turn out well, this board will light up along with the share price.

I loved that wall at $1.04 yesterday. It was calling my name. I was too slow.
Then it was taken out. I wasn’t too upset because….
I was lucky enough for another wall at $1.05 that I helped take out. Then boom.
Chart looked good. News good. Repurchase plan news excellent.
What’s not to like.
Hope to see if move back above $2.
Good luck.

Looking good. Hidden gem not any longer

Wow. No comments?
10 million share repurchase announcement yesterday and study enrollment announcement today.
