VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / BioNxt Solutions Inc. ("BioNxt" or the "Company") (CSE:BNXT)(OTCQB:BNXTF)(FSE:BXT), a bioscience innovator specializing in advanced drug delivery systems, is pleased to announce that it has commenced work with a Business Development & Licensing ("BD&L") specialist advisor to support the commercialization and partnering strategy for BNT23001, the Company's patented proprietary sublingual Cladribine orally dissolvable film ("ODF") formulation for the treatment of multiple sclerosis ("MS").

BNT23001 is designed as a differentiated alternative to conventional tablet-based Cladribine therapy, including Mavenclad^®, by offering a thin, dissolvable film placed under the tongue. The Company believes this delivery format may be particularly relevant for MS patients who experience difficulty swallowing, also known as dysphagia. Mavenclad^®, the oral Cladribine MS therapy developed by Merck KGaA, generated reported global revenues of approximately €1.2 billion / US$1.4 billion in 2025, reflecting continued growth and strong demand across major markets including North America and Europe.

Commercialization Initiatives

BioNxt believes the timing is appropriate to advance commercialization planning for BNT23001, the Company's patented sublingual Cladribine ODF program for multiple sclerosis. The initiative will focus on evaluating potential licensing, co-development, regional commercialization, and strategic partnership opportunities.

The BD&L Advisor will support BioNxt in refining the program's commercial positioning, identifying potential pharmaceutical partners, evaluating transaction structures, and preparing for future business development engagement.

"Engaging a BD&L Advisor is an important step in the commercial planning process for our Cladribine ODF program," said Hugh Rogers, CEO and Co-Founder of BioNxt Solutions Inc. "As we prepare for the planned human bioavailability study, our strategy is to ensure that BNT23001 is positioned effectively for potential pharmaceutical partners."

Human Bioavailability Study Preparation

BioNxt has prepared a planned human bioavailability study designed to compare Cladribine ODF 10 mg with the approved reference product Mavenclad^® 10 mg tablets. The study is expected to assess key pharmacokinetic parameters, including total drug exposure, peak plasma concentration, and time to peak concentration, while also monitoring safety and tolerability.

Next Steps

BioNxt continues to prepare for its planned human bioavailability study while working with its BD&L Advisor to develop partnering materials, identify potential pharmaceutical partners, analyze comparable transactions, assess priority territories, and evaluate suitable deal structures.

There can be no assurance that the BD&L Advisor engagement or strategic evaluation process will result in a licensing transaction, co-development agreement, commercialization agreement, or other business arrangement.
