Enlivex Reaffirms August 18, 2025 As Target
Date For Announcement of Phase II Topline Data
Nes-Ziona, Israel, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLV, the "Company"), a clinical-stage macrophage reprogramming
immunotherapy company, today announced that all 134 patients in its Phase II stage of its randomized, controlled, blinded Phase I/II
trial of Allocetra in patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis, have completed a follow-up period of at least
three months, the trial's primary timepoint for measurement of key endpoints. The data are being analyzed and audited, with a
target date of August 18, 2025 for the public release of audited topline results for three-month key endpoints, including safety and
change from baseline in knee pain and function.
The multi-center Phase I/II clinical trial consists
of two stages. The first stage was a Phase I safety run-in, open-label dose escalation phase to characterize the safety and tolerability
of Allocetra injections to the target knee, in order to identify the dose and injection regimen or the subsequent Phase IIa stage.
This stage is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled multi-centered trial. In addition to evaluating safety, the study protocol
is designed to efficiently find a strong signal in a responder population to guide future development, and includes an interim statistical
evaluation, conducted by an independent third party and blinded to the Company, to assess the potential value of enrollment of up to 50
patients in addition to the original randomized sample size of 130, and its marginal impact on the p-value of the statistical estimation
of the total group and specifically to identify a potential responder sub-group. The trial's key efficacy endpoints evaluate joint-pain
and joint-function in comparison to placebo at three months, six months and 12 months post treatment.
ABOUT KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis is by far the most common form
of arthritis, affecting more than 32.5 million Americans and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. About half of knees with ACL
injuries develop osteoarthritis within 5 to 15 years. 78 million Americans are projected to have osteoarthritis by the year 2040. Symptomatic
knee osteoarthritis is particularly prevalent and disabling, with 40% of men and 47% of women developing knee osteoarthritis in their
lifetimes. Osteoarthritis accounts for over one million hospitalizations annually in the United States, primarily for total joint replacement.
The burden of osteoarthritis is enormous, and the need for treatments that reduce pain and attendant disability for persons with osteoarthritis
is critical. There are currently no medications approved by either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines
Agency (EMA) that have been demonstrated to arrest, slow or reverse progression of structural damage in the joint.
Enlivex is a clinical stage macrophage reprogramming
immunotherapy company developing Allocetra , a universal, off-the-shelf cell therapy designed to reprogram macrophages into their
homeostatic state. Resetting non-homeostatic macrophages into their homeostatic state is critical for immune system rebalancing and resolution
of life-threatening and life debilitating conditions. For more information, visit https://enlivex.com/.
