Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on harnessing the power of trained immunity for the prevention and treatment of disease, today announced it has successfully completed the GMP manufacture of Gemini drug product to support anticipated clinical studies in the United States. GMP compliant manufacturing of Gemini is a pivotal requirement for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with FDA. The Company intends to utilize the current supply of Gemini for the upcoming Phase 1b clinical trial in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as well as future Phase 2 studies.

“We are pleased to have achieved this critical milestone for the advancement of Gemini,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “We look forward to starting our Phase 1b study in CKD and anticipate top-line results including pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety data in the first half of 2025.”

About Gemini

Gemini is an intravenously administrated, proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD^®) that reduces the damage associated with inflammation by reprogramming the innate immune system to respond to stress (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 may be a treatment to stop or slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (GEMINI-CKD program).
