-Phase 1b Study in CKD Patients to begin early 2025-

Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company that is focused on harnessing the power of trained immunity for the treatment of disease, announced today that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its investigational new drug (IND) application for Gemini. This game changing milestone allows the Company to initiate its US based Phase 1b clinical study to evaluate the potential of Gemini as a preconditioning treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The multi-site, placebo-controlled Phase 1b clinical study will enroll up to 40 subjects in up to 5 cohorts. The primary endpoint is evaluation of the safety and tolerability of a single dose of Gemini in patients with CKD. Secondary and exploratory endpoints will assess the pharmacokinetics, and the potential of Gemini to mobilize and attenuate the innate immune response to stress by measuring several predictive biomarkers of efficacy.

Positive data from the Phase 1b study will enable a Phase 2 study of Gemini as a preconditioning treatment in patients with CKD to reduce the incidence, duration, and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or cardiac valve surgery.

“We are proud to receive acceptance of our IND for Gemini, marking our most important milestone to date for Revelation,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “By leveraging the unique properties of trained immunity, we are exploring new ways to improve patient outcomes. We will continue to move swiftly to initiate our Phase 1b clinical study in the near future.”

About Gemini

Gemini is an intravenously administrated, proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®) that reduces the damage associated with inflammation by reprograming the innate immune system to respond to stress (surgery, trauma, infection, etc.) in an attenuated manner. Revelation has conducted multiple preclinical studies demonstrating the therapeutic potential of Gemini in the target indications. Earlier this year Revelation announced positive Phase 1 clinical data for intravenous treatment with Gemini. The primary safety endpoint was met in the Phase 1 study, and results demonstrated statistically significant pharmacodynamic activity as observed through expected changes in multiple biomarkers including upregulation of IL-10.

Gemini is being developed for multiple indications including as a pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity and duration of acute kidney injury (GEMINI-AKI program), and as pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity and duration of post-surgical infection (GEMINI-PSI program). In addition, Gemini has potential as a treatment to stop or slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (GEMINI-CKD program).
