We plan to initiate two\nBGE-102 proof-of-concept trials by mid-2026 — a Phase 2 dose-ranging trial\nin cardiovascular risk, and a Phase 1b/2a trial in diabetic macular edema —\nadvancing BGE-102 as a potential 'pipeline in a pill' across cardiometabolic\nand ocular diseases. With the $132.3 million we raised in our upsized\nfollow-on offering earlier this year, we have the capital to drive both\nprograms through key milestones.”\n\nFirst Quarter 2026 Business Highlights\n\nNLRP3 inhibitor clinical development\n* In April 2026, BioAge reported positive topline data from the Phase 1 trial\nof BGE-102, its oral, brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor, including a newly\nannounced 60 mg once-daily cohort in participants with obesity and elevated\ninflammation.\n* Across both 60 mg and 120 mg once-daily dose levels, BGE-102 achieved rapid\nand profound reductions in hsCRP, with median reductions of 86% from baseline,\ntogether with consistent reductions in IL-6 and fibrinogen.\n* At both doses, 87–93% of participants on active treatment reached\nnormalized hsCRP (<2 mg/L) — a threshold associated with reduced\ncardiovascular risk.\n* BGE-102 was well tolerated across all dose levels evaluated. All\ntreatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and\nself-limited, with no dose dependency. There were no serious adverse events,\nno treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation, and no\nclinically meaningful changes in vital signs, ECGs, or laboratory values.\n* Based on the full Phase 1 dataset, the Company plans to initiate a Phase 2\ndose-ranging proof-of-concept trial of BGE-102 in participants at elevated\ncardiovascular risk in mid-2026, with topline data anticipated by year end.\nBGE-102 indication expansion into ophthalmology\n* In January 2026, BioAge announced the expansion of its BGE-102 development\nprogram into ophthalmology, with an initial proof-of-concept study planned in\npatients with DME.\n* The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept trial in\nmid-2026, with results anticipated in mid-2027.\nAPJ agonist program advancement\n* BioAge continues to advance its oral and injectable APJ agonist development\nstrategy, including a novel APJ agonist antibody that is the subject of an\noption agreement with JiKang Therapeutics. The Company intends to file its\nfirst IND for an APJ program by year-end 2026.\nUpsized follow-on public offering\n* In January 2026, BioAge completed an upsized follow-on public offering, with\nthe underwriters' option to purchase additional shares exercised in full in\nFebruary 2026, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $132.3\nmillion.\nStrategic partnerships and discovery platform\n* BioAge's multi-year research collaboration with Novartis, focused on\ndiscovering novel therapeutic targets at the intersection of aging biology and\nexercise physiology, continued to advance, with multiple targets under\nevaluation.\n* The Company also continued to progress its strategic collaboration with\nLilly ExploR&D for the development of therapeutic antibodies targeting novel\nmetabolic aging targets.\nFirst Quarter 2026 Financial Results\n\nCollaboration revenue was $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026,\ncompared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.3 million\nincrease in collaboration revenue was due to increased full-time equivalent\nemployee (FTE) effort under the Novartis collaboration agreement, resulting in\nhigher revenue recognized based on progress toward satisfaction of the related\nperformance obligation.\n\nResearch and development expenses were approximately $20.4 million for the\nquarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $11.1 million for the same period in\n2025. The $9.3 million increase in research and development expenses was\nprimarily attributable to a $5.7 million increase in direct costs related to\nthe BioAge’s BGE-102 program associated with the completion of the Phase 1\nsingle ascending dose (SAD) / multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial,\npreparation for the planned Phase 2 dose-ranging proof-of-concept trial\nevaluating BGE-102 in participants with elevated cardiovascular risk and\nplanned Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept trial in DME, each expected to initiate\nin mid-2026, and drug-product manufacturing. Additionally contributing to the\nincrease was a $3.6 million increase in direct costs for other programs, which\nwas primarily related to discovery and development activities related to\nBioAge’s novel apelin receptor APJ agonist programs, and a $0.8 million\nincrease in allocated facility and other expenses primarily driven by an\nincrease in non-program specific consulting fees. These increases were\npartially offset by a $0.8 million reduction in azelaprag direct costs\nfollowing termination of development in January 2025.\n\nGeneral and administrative expenses were $7.7 million for the quarter ended\nMarch 31, 2026, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.9\nmillion increase was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million increase in\npersonnel-related expenses, largely due to an increase in stock-based\ncompensation expense associated with new option grants issued to employees,\nexecutives, board members, and advisors, and a $0.4 million increase in legal\nfees, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in consulting expenses.\n\nNet loss was $22.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, or $0.52 per\nweighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, compared to a\nnet loss of $12.9 million, or $0.36 per weighted-average common share\noutstanding, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2025.\n\nAs of March 31, 2026, BioAge had approximately $384.9 million in cash, cash\nequivalents, and marketable securities. Based on its current operating plan,\nBioAge estimates that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to\nfund operations and capital expenses through 2029.\n\nAbout BioAge Labs, Inc.\n\nBioAge is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic\nproduct candidates for cardiometabolic diseases by targeting the biology of\nhuman aging.

mid-2027\n\nCompleted upsized follow-on public offering of $132.3 million\n\nEMERYVILLE, Calif., May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioAge Labs, Inc.\n(NASDAQ: BIOA) (\"BioAge” or, \"the Company\"), a clinical-stage\nbiopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for\ncardiometabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today\nprovided business updates and reported its first quarter 2026 financial\nresults.\n\n“The positive topline Phase 1 data we reported for BGE-102 in April\nreinforce our conviction that we have a potential best-in-class NLRP3\ninhibitor: a well-tolerated, once-daily oral therapy that could deliver the\nanti-inflammatory efficacy of injectables,\" said Kristen Fortney, Ph.D., CEO\nand co-founder of BioAge. \"Our focus now is execution. We plan to initiate two\nBGE-102 proof-of-concept trials by mid-2026 — a Phase 2 dose-ranging trial\nin cardiovascular risk, and a Phase 1b/2a trial in diabetic macular edema —\nadvancing BGE-102 as a potential 'pipeline in a pill' across cardiometabolic\nand ocular diseases. With the $132.3 million we raised in our upsized\nfollow-on offering earlier this year, we have the capital to drive both\nprograms through key milestones.”\n\nFirst Quarter 2026 Business Highlights\n\nNLRP3 inhibitor clinical development\n* In April 2026, BioAge reported positive topline data from the Phase 1 trial\nof BGE-102, its oral, brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor, including a newly\nannounced 60 mg once-daily cohort in participants with obesity and elevated\ninflammation.\n* Across both 60 mg and 120 mg once-daily dose levels, BGE-102 achieved rapid\nand profound reductions in hsCRP, with median reductions of 86% from baseline,\ntogether with consistent reductions in IL-6 and fibrinogen.\n* At both doses, 87–93% of participants on active treatment reached\nnormalized hsCRP (<2 mg/L) — a threshold associated with reduced\ncardiovascular risk.\n* BGE-102 was well tolerated across all dose levels evaluated. All\ntreatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and\nself-limited, with no dose dependency. There were no serious adverse events,\nno treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation, and no\nclinically meaningful changes in vital signs, ECGs, or laboratory values.\n* Based on the full Phase 1 dataset, the Company plans to initiate a Phase 2\ndose-ranging proof-of-concept trial of BGE-102 in participants at elevated\ncardiovascular risk in mid-2026, with topline data anticipated by year end.\nBGE-102 indication expansion into ophthalmology\n* In January 2026, BioAge announced the expansion of its BGE-102 development\nprogram into ophthalmology, with an initial proof-of-concept study planned in\npatients with DME.\n* The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept trial in\nmid-2026, with results anticipated in mid-2027.\nAPJ agonist program advancement\n* BioAge continues to advance its oral and injectable APJ agonist development\nstrategy, including a novel APJ agonist antibody that is the subject of an\noption agreement with JiKang Therapeutics. The Company intends to file its\nfirst IND for an APJ program by year-end 2026.\nUpsized follow-on public offering\n* In January 2026, BioAge completed an upsized follow-on public offering, with\nthe underwriters' option to purchase additional shares exercised in full in\nFebruary 2026, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $132.3\nmillion.\nStrategic partnerships and discovery platform\n* BioAge's multi-year research collaboration with Novartis, focused on\ndiscovering novel therapeutic targets at the intersection of aging biology and\nexercise physiology, continued to advance, with multiple targets under\nevaluation.\n* The Company also continued to progress its strategic collaboration with\nLilly ExploR&D for the development of therapeutic antibodies targeting novel\nmetabolic aging targets.\nFirst Quarter 2026 Financial Results\n\nCollaboration revenue was $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026,\ncompared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.3 million\nincrease in collaboration revenue was due to increased full-time equivalent\nemployee (FTE) effort under the Novartis collaboration agreement, resulting in\nhigher revenue recognized based on progress toward satisfaction of the related\nperformance obligation.\n\nResearch and development expenses were approximately $20.4 million for the\nquarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $11.1 million for the same period in\n2025. The $9.3 million increase in research and development expenses was\nprimarily attributable to a $5.7 million increase in direct costs related to\nthe BioAge’s BGE-102 program associated with the completion of the Phase 1\nsingle ascending dose (SAD) / multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial,\npreparation for the planned Phase 2 dose-ranging proof-of-concept trial\nevaluating BGE-102 in participants with elevated cardiovascular risk and\nplanned Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept trial in DME, each expected to initiate\nin mid-2026, and drug-product manufacturing. Additionally contributing to the\nincrease was a $3.6 million increase in direct costs for other programs, which\nwas primarily related to discovery and development activities related to\nBioAge’s novel apelin receptor APJ agonist programs, and a $0.8 million\nincrease in allocated facility and other expenses primarily driven by an\nincrease in non-program specific consulting fees. These increases were\npartially offset by a $0.8 million reduction in azelaprag direct costs\nfollowing termination of development in January 2025.\n\nGeneral and administrative expenses were $7.7 million for the quarter ended\nMarch 31, 2026, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.9\nmillion increase was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million increase in\npersonnel-related expenses, largely due to an increase in stock-based\ncompensation expense associated with new option grants issued to employees,\nexecutives, board members, and advisors, and a $0.4 million increase in legal\nfees, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in consulting expenses.\n\nNet loss was $22.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, or $0.52 per\nweighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, compared to a\nnet loss of $12.9 million, or $0.36 per weighted-average common share\noutstanding, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2025.\n\nAs of March 31, 2026, BioAge had approximately $384.9 million in cash, cash\nequivalents, and marketable securities. Based on its current operating plan,\nBioAge estimates that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to\nfund operations and capital expenses through 2029.\n\nAbout BioAge Labs, Inc.\n\nBioAge is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic\nproduct candidates for cardiometabolic diseases by targeting the biology of\nhuman aging.
