YAVNE, Israel, January 12, 2026 -- MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD), a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics for tissue repair, today provided
a corporate and financial update ahead of its participation in the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.
“As we enter 2026, we are encouraged by the momentum we’ve built as we continue to execute on our growth strategy, with meaningful progress across both our clinical pipeline and operational
platform,” said Ofer Gonen, Chief Executive Officer of MediWound. “Over the past year, we advanced our Phase III VALUE trial toward key milestones, positioned the EscharEx® program for expansion into additional chronic wound indications,
strengthened our balance sheet, and completed the expansion of our NexoBrid® manufacturing facility, which is now fully operational. While U.S. government shutdown–related delays impacted revenue recognition in our fourth quarter
results, and certain activities are still pending, we believe these effects are timing-related, and that we now have the key elements in place to continue executing our strategy, as reflected in our revised three-year revenue guidance.”
Corporate Updates, Recent Developments, and Upcoming Milestones
EscharEx®
| • |
Enrollment continues in the VALUE global Phase III study of EscharEx in VLUs, targeting 216 patients across approximately 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe, the majority of which are active and recruiting. The
pre-specified interim sample-size assessment and enrollment completion are expected by year-end 2026.
|
| • |
Following constructive and aligned regulatory feedback on trial design and development strategy from both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Company plans
to initiate a Phase II study of EscharEx in DFUs in the second half of 2026.
|
| • |
A prospective, single-arm investigator-initiated trial (IIT) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EscharEx in PUs is planned to initiate in mid-2026.
|
| • |
The EscharEx program is supported by collaborations with leading global wound care companies, including Coloplast, Convatec, Essity, Mölnlycke, Solventum, and MiMedx, reflecting strong industry validation of
the program.
|
NexoBrid®
| • |
The expanded NexoBrid manufacturing facility is now fully operational, increasing production capacity sixfold to support growing global demand; market availability remains subject to completion of regulatory
reviews and approvals, which are expected in 2026.
|
| • |
Following the resolution of the recent U.S. government shutdown, MediWound currently believes that discussions between Vericel and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) regarding
a potential multi-year program may progress toward completion during the first quarter of 2026. If completed and signed, the program would include stockpiling, development of a room-temperature-stable formulation of NexoBrid, and evaluation
of an enzymatic debridement product for trauma, blast-injury, and friction-burn indications.
|
Financial
| • |
Revenue for the full year 2025 totaled $17 million.
|
| • |
Cash, cash equivalents, and deposits as of December 31, 2025 totaled $54 million, with no debt.
|
| • |
Updated revenue guidance projects $24–26 million in 2026, $32–35 million in 2027, and $50–55 million in 2028. All guidance periods assume continued support from BARDA and the U.S. Department of Defense. The
2028 outlook also assumes a potential initial contribution related to EscharEx, subject to regulatory approval.
