Activities are intended to support regulatory testing and the Company’s planned first-quarter 2027 FDA 510(k) premarket notification submission
RENO, Nev., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conexeu Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq: CNXU) (“Conexeu” or the “Company”) today announced progress in manufacturing scale up and standardized formulation methods with its contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) for its lead CXU™ wound care device candidate. The Company is continuing preparations for a planned 510(k) premarket notification submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) during the first quarter of 2027.
During 2026, Conexeu continued transitioning the program from research stage development into the manufacturing, testing, and regulatory execution activities planned to support a future submission. As part of that effort, the Company has transferred standardized formulation methods to its CDMO and is advancing manufacturing scale up activities intended to support the production of CXU™ for regulatory testing.
“Advancing a medical device platform toward regulatory submission requires far more than promising early science,” said Miles Harrison, CEO and President of Conexeu Sciences. “It requires disciplined execution across manufacturing, analytical characterization, quality systems, preclinical testing, and regulatory strategy. We believe the progress achieved to date reflects the maturation of the CXU™ platform and positions us to continue advancing toward our planned first-quarter 2027 submission.”
Conexeu has received FDA pre-submission feedback through the Q-Submission process that has informed development planning for its initial wound care indication. FDA pre-submission feedback is advisory and does not constitute a determination of substantial equivalence, marketing clearance, or approval.
The Company is continuing manufacturing, testing, packaging, sterilization, and documentation activities planned to support its 510(k) submission. Conexeu’s lead product candidate is based on its proprietary CXU™ extracellular matrix platform (ECM), designed as a thermosensitive ECM, that remains flowable during preparation and application and then transitions into a gel scaffold at body temperature.
The manufacturing program is expected to support production of materials for analytical, chemical characterization, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, and other testing activities associated with the planned submission. Conexeu is also developing manufacturing controls and documentation intended to support production scale up as the program advances.
“Manufacturing transfer is an important operational milestone for the program,” said Brian Pilcher, Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Conexeu Sciences. “We are moving beyond research grade formulation work and establishing controlled manufacturing processes intended to generate representative materials for regulatory testing. This work is an essential component of our planned 510(k) package.”
The Company is also evaluating manufacturing strategies to support future commercial scale production, pending successful completion of CXU™ development activities and receipt of required regulatory clearances.
Conexeu continues to target submission of a 510(k) premarket notification during the first quarter of 2027, subject to the development success of the planned testing, manufacturing, and documentation activities. The timing of the submission may be affected by the results and timing of ongoing testing, manufacturing execution, supplier readiness, and regulatory considerations, including the possibility that additional work may be required.
Conexeu's intended commercial strategy is focused on the unique flowable characteristics of CXU™ for multiple potential wound care applications [1] [7] [9]. Wounds like post-Mohs defects, dehiscent, burn, and tunneling wounds have unique geometric challenges, where CXU™'s flowable, in situ-gelling format is designed to conform to and maintain continuous contact across complex, irregular wound beds, fill voids and tracts that sheets, meshes, and powders may not fully reach , and form a stable scaffold environment intended to support host cell integration and tissue remodeling as part of normal tissue restoration [3] [6] [7] [9] [10].
A 510(k) is a premarket submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that a device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. Submission of a 510(k) does not ensure that the FDA will find the device substantially equivalent or grant marketing clearance.
