$7.4 million in cash expected to provide runway to complete site expansion process and patient enrollment as part of pivotal Phase III FDA trial for GelrinC
Already approved in Europe, GelrinC is expected to be rolled out in clinics across the continent in 2026
GelrinC is positioned to be the first ready-to-use, off-the-shelf product in the U.S. for knee cartilage repair
HERZLIYA, IL / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2026 / Regentis Biomaterials Ltd. (“Regentis” or the “Company”), a regenerative medicine company focused on innovative tissue repair solutions, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and provided an update on corporate and clinical developments.
“2025 was a transformational year for Regentis, marked by our successful IPO and a strengthened balance sheet with more than $7 million in cash, positioning us to potentially complete patient recruitment and treatment in our pivotal Phase III study for GelrinC by mid-year 2026,” said Dr. Ehud Geller, CEO and Executive Chairman of Regentis. “This financial strength also provides the runway to begin marketing GelrinC in clinics across Europe in 2026, where we believe early physician adoption will help build meaningful demand and attract a strong commercial partner. With GelrinC positioning to become the first ready-to-use, off-the-shelf regenerative product in the U.S. for knee cartilage repair, we are excited about its potential to establish a new gold standard of care. At the same time, we see significant opportunity to expand our Gelrin platform technology into broader cartilage indications, including osteoarthritis and other joint injuries, further advancing our mission to deliver durable regenerative solutions for patients worldwide.”
Financial Highlights:
-
Regentis listed on the NYSE American exchange through a successful IPO which closed on December 5, 2025, raising gross proceeds of $10 million.
-
With $7.4 million in cash and equivalents as of December 31, 2025, Regentis has a cash runway to potentially complete its site expansion process and patient enrollment of its pivotal Phase III trial for GelrinC in knee cartilage repair.
-
The Company’s operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $7.0 million, $5.3 million of which was for non-cash expenses, demonstrating prudent cash management while continuing to execute on clinical advancements.
Corporate and Clinical Highlights:
-
Regentis established 7 new clinical sites across the U.S. including leading orthopedic centers to support its pivotal Phase III trial of GelrinC as well as future clinical programs. The new sites are expected to further accelerate the pivotal study’s patient enrollment, which surpassed 50%.
-
In Europe, 6 new clinical sites were established to support engagement with leading orthopedic surgeons and centers of excellence in key European markets, strengthening Regentis’ positioning for eventual commercial launch and broader clinical adoption in 2026.
-
Data published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Cartilage established GelrinC as a leader in long-term durable cartilage repair, using the objective, quantitative MOCART (Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue) assessment to demonstrate morphologic outcomes that consistently outperformed other treatment modalities. Regentis is the first company to extensively use MOCART as a secondary endpoint in a clinical study, and to have the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) acceptance of this approach.
-
New data from the published Cartilage study additionally demonstrated that GelrinC has achieved a breakthrough in regenerating native-like cartilage structure in knee repair based on MRI results. Two years after treatment, GelrinC-treated patients demonstrated layered cartilage architecture similar to native hyaline cartilage, widely regarded as the gold standard for durable joint function.
-
Regentis was granted its 27th patent for the Gelrin platform technology. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued Regentis’ most recent patent for GelrinC, covering the liquid, ready to use version of the product that also improved processes for its production by avoiding the use of organic solvents. The liquid ready-to-use formulation reflects Regentis’ focus on simplifying procedures for surgeons while improving patient experience.
