Winter Park, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2026) - Adia Med Inc. (OTCQB: ADIA), a regenerative medicine company, today announced that its subsidiary, Adia Med of Winter Park, LLC, has submitted a clinical study protocol to an Institutional Review Board for review and approval.
The proposed study is designed to evaluate a one-time systemic treatment with AdiaVita, the Company's umbilical cord blood-derived stem cell and exosome product, in adults with osteoarthritis. Participation is planned under a patient-pay model at $5,000 per patient.
This submission marks Adia Med's fifth clinical study protocol submitted in 2026. The Company also plans to submit three to four additional studies for Institutional Review Board review before year-end.
The protocol seeks approval to study whether a single intravenous administration can be evaluated for safety and potential effects on joint-related inflammation, function, and patient-reported outcomes. Unlike many conventional osteoarthritis approaches that rely on repeated local joint injections, the proposed study is designed around a one-time systemic infusion.
"This is our fifth study submitted in 2026, and we still expect to file three to four more before the end of the year," said Larry Powalisz, Chief Executive Officer of Adia Med Inc. "The osteoarthritis protocol is built around a one-time systemic treatment and a $5,000 patient-pay model. That structure keeps the study accessible while allowing us to expand the clinical evidence behind AdiaVita."
The study remains investigational. It has not been approved by the Institutional Review Board, has not been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, and is not open for enrollment. Adia Med makes no claim that AdiaVita treats, cures, or prevents osteoarthritis or any other disease.
If the Institutional Review Board approves the protocol, the Company expects to complete remaining start-up steps, including ClinicalTrials.gov registration, before any patient enrollment would begin.
This submission adds to Adia Med's 2026 research pipeline through Adia Med of Winter Park, which already includes studies in areas such as autism spectrum disorder, chronic kidney disease, and lower back pain.
