Average MDS-UPDRS scores from baseline (Day 0) to 12 months (Day 360) in all participants who completed dosing regimen by August 31, 2026, and had evaluable MDS-UPDRS scores at each time point<\/p>\n<p>As of August 31, 2026, 12 of the 13 evaluable patients have completed the full 12-month administration of rexaceract in the OLE with one additional participant scheduled to complete dosing in November 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the 12 evaluable participants, MDS-UPDRS motor scores were stable over the 12-month study period with <em>rexaceract<\/em>, demonstrating no clinically meaningful progression of motor symptoms on the MDS-UPDRS Parts II and III. A clinically meaningful change in PD disease progression is generally accepted to be an increase in MDS-UPDRS Part II and III together of approximately 6 points over a year, which also is the mean annual rate of disease progression among individuals with early PD. Part II of the MDS-UPDRS is patient-reported motor aspects of experiences of daily living and assesses the impact of Parkinson\u2019s disease on activities such as eating, dressing, walking, and other everyday functions.\u00a0Part III is a clinician-assessed motor examination, evaluating features such as tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, speech, and gait.<\/p>\n<p>The Company expects to submit a new Phase 2 study protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the coming weeks, informed by insights provided by the Phase 1b study results and recent discussion with potential partners, and initiate the Phase 2 clinical trial of <em>rexaceract<\/em> in people with Parkinson\u2019s disease in 1Q27.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Mack, President and CEO of Gain Therapeutics, stated, \u201cSeeing MDS-UPDRS scores remain stable after a full year of dosing is an important clinical milestone for <em>rexaceract<\/em>. This data gives us greater confidence in the durability of the clinical profile we are seeing and strengthens our conviction as we advance <em>rexaceract <\/em>into the next stage of development. We have learned enough new information from the Phase 1b that we want to address in our Phase 2 planning to move the start of the study to 1Q27 and take the prudent step of submitting a new protocol to the FDA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mack continued, \u201cWe believe\u00a0<em>rexaceract\u00a0<\/em>has the potential to shift the treatment paradigm beyond symptom management by addressing the underlying biology of Parkinson\u2019s disease, and we expect <em>rexaceract <\/em>to be the backbone of the next generation of treatment for Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Figure 2. Average MDS-UPDRS scores from baseline (Day 0) to Day 360 (12 months) in participants with evaluable MDS-UPDRS scores from baseline to 12 months, and grouped according to high and low CSF GluSph levels at baseline<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, participants with both high and low baseline levels of the glucocerebrosidase substrate glucosylsphingosine (GluSph) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) show stabilization of MDS-UPDRS motor scores after 12 months and no clinically meaningful progression of motor symptoms on the MDS-UPDRS Parts II and III. Though participants with high baseline levels of CSF GluSph experienced a large decrease back towards levels observed in healthy individuals after 90 days of treatment along with a quicker observed response to <em>rexaceract<\/em>, both groups\u2019 MDS-UPDRS scores remained stable to baseline through 12 months of dosing.<\/p>\n<p>Elevated GluSph is a hallmark of GCase dysfunction and has been shown to increase the aggregation of alpha synuclein and to impair mitochondrial function and other intracellular processes in neurons. A reduction in GluSph in CSF after treatment with <em>rexaceract<\/em> suggests increased GCase activity in the brain, which is expected to impact the progression of Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/p>\n<p>Joanne Taylor, Chief Scientific Officer of Gain Therapeutics commented on the results, saying, \u201cThe stabilization of MDS-UPDRS scores over one year of treatment with <em>rexaceract<\/em> regardless of biomarker stratification is particularly encouraging. The consistency in durability across both low and high GluSph groups provides encouraging support for the continued investigation of the relationship between GluSph biology, glucocerebrosidase target engagement, and clinical outcomes in Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Figure 3. Most frequently reported (in &gt; 2 participants) Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by System Organ Class and Study Part<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary long-term data suggest that <em>rexaceract<\/em> is safe and generally well tolerated over 12 months of dosing. No new safety signals were observed and overall, a lower incidence of TEAEs occurred in Part 2 of the study (9-month open-label extension) compared with Part 1 (initial 3-month administration).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>Rexaceract<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Gain Therapeutics\u2019 lead drug candidate <em>rexaceract<\/em>, formerly known as GT-02287, is in clinical development for the treatment of Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) with or without a GBA1 mutation. The orally administered, brain-penetrant small molecule is a beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) positive allosteric modulator, antiparkinsonian, that restores the function of the lysosomal enzyme GCase which becomes misfolded and impaired due to mutations in the GBA1 gene, the most common genetic abnormality associated with PD, or other age-related stress factors, by stabilizing and chaperoning it to the lysosomes and mitochondria. In preclinical models of PD, <em>rexaceract<\/em> restored GCase enzymatic function, reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress, lysosomal and mitochondrial pathology, aggregated \u03b1-synuclein, neuroinflammation and neuronal death, as well as plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels, a biomarker of neurodegeneration. In rodent models of both GBA1-PD and idiopathic PD, <em>rexaceract <\/em>was shown to rescue deficits in motor function and gait and prevent the development of deficits in complex behaviors such as nesting. Washout experiments in both GBA1-PD and idiopathic PD models, in which behavioral and neurochemical rescue effects seen with <em>rexaceract<\/em> were maintained even once it had been removed, suggest that <em>rexaceract<\/em> may have the potential to slow or stop the progression of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Results from a Phase 1 study of <em>rexaceract<\/em> in healthy volunteers demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, plasma and CNS exposures in the projected therapeutic range, and target engagement with an increase in GCase activity among those receiving <em>rexaceract<\/em> at clinically relevant doses.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>Rexaceract<\/em> is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b clinical trial for the treatment of PD with or without a GBA1 mutation. The primary endpoint of the trial, which enrolled participants across seven sites in Australia, is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of <em>rexaceract<\/em> after three months of dosing in people with PD. The Phase 1b study extension allowed participants to continue to be treated with <em>rexaceract<\/em> for up to a total of 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Gain\u2019s lead program in PD has been awarded funding support early in its development from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson\u2019s Research (MJFF) and The Silverstein Foundation for Parkinson\u2019s with GBA, as well as from the Eurostars-2 joint program with co-funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and Innosuisse \u2013 Swiss Innovation Agency.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Gain Therapeutics, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Gain Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company leading the discovery and development of next generation allosteric therapies.
