PolyPid Successfully Completes Israeli Ministry of Health GMP Inspection, Advancing Towards Commercial Manufacturing Readiness for D-PLEX₁₀₀

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PolyPid Ltd. (Nasdaq: PYPD) ("PolyPid" or the "Company"), a late-stage biopharma company aiming to improve surgical outcomes, today announced the successful completion of a routine Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection by the Israeli Ministry of Health. The inspection, concluded earlier this week, marks the fourth consecutive successful GMP inspection of PolyPid's manufacturing facility. The Israeli Ministry of Health operates under the EU-Israel Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance (ACAA) framework, whereby European regulatory authorities rely on these inspections for EU GMP compliance certification. This regulatory equivalence confirms that PolyPid's manufacturing facility meets the standards required for commercial production in the European market. "Successfully completing this inspection demonstrates our consistent adherence to international GMP standards and validates our quality systems for commercial-scale manufacturing," said Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad, Chief Executive Officer of PolyPid. "As we advance toward our planned New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission for D-PLEX₁₀₀ in early 2026, this inspection serves as crucial real-world preparation for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) facility inspection that will follow. With positive Phase 3 SHIELD II results in hand, confirming our manufacturing readiness represents another step toward bringing D-PLEX₁₀₀ to patients." The inspection comprehensively evaluated PolyPid's quality systems, manufacturing processes, and facility operations, confirming the Company's readiness to support commercial production of D-PLEX₁₀₀ following regulatory approvals. We believe that this milestone further reinforces our path to commercialization as PolyPid prepares for potential market entry in both U.S. and European markets. About D-PLEX₁₀₀D-PLEX₁₀₀, PolyPid’s lead product candidate, is designed to provide local prolonged and controlled anti-bacterial activity directly at the surgical site to prevent surgical site infections (“SSIs”). Following the administration of D-PLEX₁₀₀ into the surgical site, the PLEX (Polymer-Lipid Encapsulation matriX) technology pairs with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, enabling a prolonged and continuous release of the broad-spectrum antibiotic doxycycline, resulting in a high local concentration of the drug for a period of 30 days for the prevention of SSIs, with additional potential to prevent SSIs caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria at the surgical site. D-PLEX₁₀₀ recently demonstrated positive results in the Phase 3 SHIELD II trial, achieving a statistically significant 58% relative risk reduction in SSI incidence following abdominal colorectal surgery with large incisions. D-PLEX₁₀₀ received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of SSIs in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. About PolyPidPolyPid Ltd. (Nasdaq: PYPD) is a late-stage biopharma company aiming to improve surgical outcomes. Through locally administered, controlled, prolonged-release therapeutics, PolyPid's proprietary PLEX (Polymer-Lipid Encapsulation matriX) technology pairs with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), enabling precise delivery of drugs at optimal release rates over durations ranging from several days to months. Following positive phase 3 results, New Drug Application (NDA) submission of D-PLEX₁₀₀, PolyPid's lead product candidate, for the prevention of abdominal colorectal surgical site infections, is expected in early 2026.
