TORONTO, CANADA / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2024 - Ripple Therapeutics Corporation, a clinical stage company focused on improving ophthalmic therapeutics with controllable sustained delivery implants, is pleased to announce evaluation and licensing agreements with Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal disease. Ripple’s patented technology platform is based on a discovery that drugs can be chemically engineered into controlled release pharmaceuticals without the use of polymers or excipients. These proprietary prodrugs undergo surface erosion to give zero order release kinetics and are highly engineerable to tailor both drug dose and duration. The advantages of this technology include lower molecular weight and higher drug loading allowing for smaller implants and a lack of degradation products which provides both a clearer regulatory path as well as an improved safety profile. With an extended duration of therapeutic benefit, this technology will also reduce the treatment burden for patients. These agreements enable Glaukos to leverage Ripple’s proprietary technology platform to create sustained release implants of targeted APIs for both glaucoma and retinal diseases. If the program is successful, the evaluation agreement will automatically convert into a licensing agreement with future milestone payments and royalties. “We believe Ripple has one of the most promising drug delivery technologies currently under development,” commented Tomas Navratil, PhD, Chief Development Officer, Glaukos. “We are pleased with the progress of our collaboration and have enjoyed working with the Ripple team as we work together to bring these much-needed sustained release products to patients with critical unmet needs.” “This is the first of what we believe will be a number of transactions using our technology platform in concert with partners’ APIs to create sustained release implants which will benefit patients with extended duration and improved safety”, commented Tom Reeves, President & CEO, Ripple Therapeutics. “We look forward to continued collaboration with the entire Glaukos team.” About Ripple Therapeutics Ripple Therapeutics Corporation is a privately held clinical stage company focused on improving ophthalmic therapeutics with controllable sustained delivery implants.

- Collaboration to leverage AbbVie's eye care expertise and Ripple’s innovative drug delivery platform to develop next-generation sustained release drug delivery implants for the treatment of glaucoma TORONTO, CANADA / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2024 / − Ripple Therapeutics today announced a collaboration and option-to-license agreement with AbbVie to develop RTC-620, a next generation, fully biodegradable, sustained release drug delivery intracameral implant with repeat dosing capabilities to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). This collaboration leverages AbbVie's expertise in eye care and Ripple’s innovative drug delivery platform. Ripple’s patented technology platform is based on a discovery that drugs can be engineered into controlled release pharmaceuticals without the use of polymers or excipients. These proprietary prodrugs undergo surface erosion to give zero order release kinetics and are highly customizable to tailor both drug dose and duration. Because there are no polymers or excipients, once the drug is gone, the implant is gone with no pro-inflammatory degradation products, which supports repeat dosing. “We’re pleased to partner with AbbVie, a worldwide leader in ophthalmic therapeutics,” said Tom Reeves,President and Chief Executive Officer, Ripple Therapeutics. “By combining our drug delivery platform with AbbVie’s research, clinical, regulatory and commercial capabilities, we hope to deliver a meaningful impact on the lives of people living with glaucoma.” Millions of people are living with glaucoma, one of the leading causes of vision loss. New treatment options areneeded to help patients challenged with topical drops or who are at risk for vision loss and looking for alternative treatment options. "At AbbVie, we strive to find innovative solutions to build our portfolio of vision-preserving therapies,” said Michael Robinson, M.D., Vice President and Therapeutic Area Head, Ophthalmology, AbbVie. “We are excited to partner with Ripple to further advance the development of RTC-620." Under terms of the agreement, Ripple will lead preclinical development of RTC-620. Upon exercise of the option, AbbVie will lead the clinical and commercialization activities. Ripple will receive an upfront payment of $21.8 million from AbbVie and is eligible to receive up to $290 million in aggregate option fees and milestones, as well as tiered royalties on net sales. About Ripple Therapeutics Ripple Therapeutics Corporation is a privately held clinical stage company focused on improving ophthalmic therapeutics with controllable sustained delivery implants without the use of polymers or excipients. Our novel therapeutics provide better outcomes for patients, easier management of care for physicians and lower cost for payors. www.rippletherapeutics.com Piper Sandler acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Ripple.

TORONTO, ON, CANADA / MARCH 28, 2024 - Ripple Therapeutics Corporation, a clinical stage, ophthalmology-focused developer of novel therapeutics, is presenting findings from the RIPPLE-1 clinical trial of the IBE-814 IVT Implant at a number of key Ophthalmology conferences. Results from RIPPLE-1 showed reduced CST and improved or stable BCVA at Month 6 in all cohorts (high dose and low dose, DME and RVO), a reduction in treatment burden compared to pre-study and safety comparable to other intravitreal steroids. Long-term follow-up is now complete, and analysis of the final data set is in progress. The IBE-814 IVT Implant is comprised solely of a prodrug, IBE-814, and enables sustained dexamethasone delivery to the retina over a period of at least 6 months. The implant is administered by intravitreal injection using a 30G needle. RIPPLE-1 was a first-in-human phase II, multi-center, single-masked dose-ranging study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and durability of two dosage regimens of the IBE-814 IVT Implant. The study enrolled 60participants with diabetic macular edema (DME) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Participants were randomized to receive either the low dose (70 µg) dexamethasone, one implant) or high dose implant (140 µg dexamethasone, two implants) and were followed for up to 18 months post-baseline treatment.
