01 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events. On October 8, 2025, Edesa Biotech, Inc. (the "Company") announced positive results from a Phase 3 study evaluating the Company's drug candidate paridiprubart (EB05) as a treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ("ARDS"), a life-threatening form of respiratory failure. The data from the Phase 3 study demonstrated that paridiprubart met primary and secondary endpoints with statistical significance. Paridiprubart led to a clinically significant reduction in mortality through 60 days, as well as a significant reduction in the proportion of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation ("IMV"). Paridiprubart in the most conservative intention-to-treat ("ITT") population met the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit for reduced mortality at 28 days. Patients treated with paridiprubart plus standard of care treatments ("SOC") had a lower risk of death (39%) compared to those receiving placebo (52%), representing an absolute improvement in survival of 13% at 28 days with paridiprubart demonstrating a relative reduction in the risk of death of 25% compared to placebo (n=104; p<0.001). A durable survival benefit was also demonstrated at 60 days, with patients treated with paridiprubart plus SOC demonstrating a lower risk of death (46%) compared to those receiving placebo (59%), representing an absolute improvement in survival of 13% with a relative risk reduction of 22% for paridiprubart compared to placebo (n=104; p=0.003). In addition, subjects receiving paridiprubart + SOC demonstrated a 41% higher relative rate of clinical improvement, meaning patients no longer required IMV and/or organ support at Day 28. The results from a safety population of more than 275 subjects, which included patients enrolled during the interim between the Phase 2 and Phase 3 study, demonstrated that EB05 was generally well-tolerated and consistent with the observed safety profile to date.
