| ● | Brings nearly three decades of leadership spanning NMIBC, corporate strategy and business development to help advance NDV-01 and support the Company’s long-term growth and value creation. |
CORAL GABLES, FL – July 28, 2026 (GlobeNewswire) – Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD, “Relmada” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for oncology and central nervous system disorders, today announced the appointment of Bipin Dalmia, PhD, MBA, as Chief Business Officer. Bipin will lead Relmada’s corporate strategy, commercial planning, and business development activities, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Sergio Traversa.
Bipin Dalmia joins Relmada with nearly three decades of biopharmaceutical leadership, combining extensive experience in corporate strategy and business development with deep expertise in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). As the Company advances NDV-01, its novel sustained-release intravesical therapy for patients with NMIBC, Bipin’s appointment reflects Relmada’s rapid evolution toward late-stage development and its commitment to building the commercial and strategic capabilities needed to maximize the value of NDV-01.
“Bipin combines a deep understanding of the evolving NMIBC treatment and competitive landscape, with exceptional experience in helping bring the first FDA-approved intravesical gene therapy to bladder cancer patients. His experience and perspective will be invaluable in helping us maximize the clinical, commercial and long-term potential of NDV-01,” said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada Therapeutics. “In addition to advancing NDV-01, Bipin’s experience in corporate strategy, business development and value creation will strengthen Relmada as we evaluate opportunities to maximize long-term shareholder value.”
“I am excited to join Relmada at such an important stage in the Company’s evolution. What drew me to this opportunity was the chance to help realize the full potential of NDV-01. The NMIBC treatment landscape is entering a period of rapid innovation, yet patients continue to face significant unmet needs. NDV-01’s differentiated product profile and encouraging clinical data generated to date position it to become a best-in-class intravesical therapy across the NMIBC disease spectrum,” said Bipin Dalmia, Chief Business Officer. “I look forward to working alongside the outstanding Relmada team to help advance the next phase of NDV-01’s development and, if successful, bring this innovative therapy to patients as quickly as possible.”
