PolyPid reports Q2 2026 results, FDA priority review for D-PLEX100
FDA accepted PolyPid's NDA with priority review, moving the PDUFA date to November 28, 2026, and the company banked $30 million from a new Azurity partnership.
PolyPid Ltd. reported second quarter 2026 financial results and a corporate update on August 12, 2026. The company said on July 27, 2026, the FDA accepted the D-PLEX₁₀₀ NDA submission and granted Priority Review, with a PDUFA goal date of November 28, 2026, approximately one quarter ahead of the company's previously communicated first quarter 2027 guidance.1 The company added that the FDA did not identify any filing review issues in its acceptance communications.1
The NDA was supported by positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 SHIELD II trial, which met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints and demonstrated a 60% relative risk reduction in SSIs compared to standard of care (p=0.0013).1
On July 17, 2026, PolyPid entered a commercialization agreement with Azurity Pharmaceuticals, described as a privately held global specialty pharmaceutical company with a first-in-class commercial model, deep experience in specialty and hospital-based therapies with more than 50 medicines across 10 therapeutic areas.1 Following the NDA acceptance, PolyPid achieved the milestones required for the $30 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments from Azurity.1 Under the deal, PolyPid is eligible to receive up to approximately $320 million in total upfront and milestone payments, inclusive of the $30 million confirmed to date.1 The company is also entitled to tiered royalties from mid-teen to mid-twenties percentages on sales in the U.S. and Canada.1 A potential U.S. launch is targeted for early 2027.1
Financially, PolyPid reported a net loss of $7.8 million, or $(0.35) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $10.0 million, or $(0.78) per share, a year earlier.1 As of June 30, 2026, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.6 million, not including $30 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments from Azurity.1 PolyPid said it believes its current cash position, together with expected proceeds from the commercialization agreement and other potential proceeds, will be sufficient to fund operations into 2028.1
