Skyhawk Announces Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration Has Determined SKY-0515 for Huntington’s Disease Meets Eligibility Criteria for Registration via the Provisional Approval Pathway

Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), responsible for approval of the safety, quality, and efficacy of therapeutic goods, has determined that Skyhawk’s SKY-0515 orally-administered small molecule therapy for the treatment of Huntington’s disease meets TGA eligibility criteria for registration via the provisional approval pathway.

Skyhawk delivered its application for provisional approval to the TGA today.

More than 115 patients are now on trial with SKY-0515.

BOSTON, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel small molecule therapies designed to modulate critical RNA targets for a series of challenging neurological diseases, announces that Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), responsible for the approval of the safety, quality, and efficacy of therapeutic goods, has determined that the Company’s SKY-0515 orally-administered small molecule therapy for the treatment of Huntington’s disease meets TGA eligibility criteria for registration via the provisional approval pathway.

Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc. 'Phase 1 Part C patient cohort cUHDRS and its components at 3, 6 and 9 months for patients who received SKY-0515 continuously for 9 months, once a day, with the data at 4mg and 9mg pooled (n=17),' January 2026. Note: Error bars represent standard error of the mean; Propensity score weighting (n=325) was performed using Enroll-HD and TRACK-HD.
Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc. ‘Phase 1 Part C patient cohort cUHDRS and its components at 3, 6 and 9 months for patients who received SKY-0515 continuously for 9 months, once a day, with the data at 4mg and 9mg pooled (n=17),’ January 2026. Note: Error bars represent standard error of the mean; Propensity score weighting (n=325) was performed using Enroll-HD and TRACK-HD.

Skyhawk delivered its application submission to the TGA for provisional approval today.

“We are grateful that the TGA has determined SKY-0515 for the treatment of Huntington’s disease meets its eligibility criteria for potential provisional approval,” said Bill Haney, Skyhawk’s CEO. “This represents an important first step toward what could be an accelerated path to approval in Australia and the world, offering the possibility of a disease modifying treatment for Huntington’s patients who urgently need therapies for this devastating disease.”

Treatment with SKY-0515 results in dose-dependent reductions of mHTT and PMS1, key drivers of Huntington’s disease pathology. SKY-0515 has demonstrated excellent central nervous system exposure and been generally safe and well tolerated.

Patients receiving SKY-0515 in the Phase 1C trial of SKY-0515 demonstrate mean Composite Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale (cUHDRS) improvement from baseline. At nine months this improvement is +0.64 points in a pooled analysis, compared to expected worsening at nine months of cUHDRS in symptomatic patients of -0.73 points, based on propensity score weighting using Enroll-HD and TRACK-HD.

Huntington’s disease is a rare, inherited and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, including more than 40,000 symptomatic patients in the United States and over 2,000 Australians.1,2 There are currently no approved disease-modifying treatments which slow or halt disease progression.2

SKY-0515 is a small molecule RNA splicing modifier developed through Skyhawk’s novel RNA-splicing platform, SKYSTAR®.

SKY-0515 is the first Skyhawk drug in clinical trials.

Skyhawk is developing additional novel drugs to treat neurological diseases for which there are no approved disease-modifying therapies.

About SKY-0515’s Phase 1 Clinical Study
SKY-0515’s Phase 1 clinical trial is a first-in-human trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SKY-0515 in healthy volunteers and individuals with Huntington’s disease (HD). The trial is separated into three parts. Parts A and B evaluated SKY-0515 in Healthy Volunteers. Part C is a double-blind placebo-controlled parallel design study of two dose levels of SKY-0515 and placebo in individuals with HD (HD-ISS Stage 1, 2, or mild Stage 3) for 84 days followed by a 12 month extension of active treatment where all participants receive either a low or high dose of SKY-0515 in a blinded fashion. The objectives of the study include evaluating mutant HTT protein and PMS1 mRNA. The first patients were dosed in SKY-0515’s Part C in January 2025. Enrollment in Phase 1C of the SKY-0515 trial is now complete and the trial is ongoing.

About SKY-0515’s Phase 2/3 FALCON-HD Clinical Study
FALCON-HD (NCT06873334) is a Phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, safety, and efficacy of SKY-0515 in 120 participants with Stage 2 and early Stage 3 HD across 12 sites in Australia and New Zealand, and 400 participants with Stage 2 and early Stage 3 HD in 40+ worldwide sites. Eligible patients will receive a once-daily oral dose of SKY-0515 at one of three dose levels or placebo, for a treatment period of at least 12 months. This trial aims to confirm the potential of SKY-0515 to modulate RNA splicing and reduce mHTT and PMS1 proteins, which are implicated in the pathology of Huntington’s disease, and to assess the efficacy of the SKY-0515 in affecting the rate of Huntington’s disease progression. Additional information about FALCON-HD, including participating sites and eligibility criteria, can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov and www.FALCON-HD.com.

Puget Sound Energy Customers Can Earn Cash for Sharing Battery Power as FranklinWH Joins Flex Batteries Program

Participants receive up to $1,000 for enrolling and ongoing payments when stored home energy is sent to the grid during peak demand to help avoid outages

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc. (FranklinWH), a leader in whole-home energy management solutions, announced today its participation in Puget Sound Energy’s Flex Batteries program. The program encourages homeowners to enroll their home battery systems to support local grid reliability.

Through the Flex Batteries program, homeowners receive an enrollment incentive of up to $1,000 per battery, plus up to $500 per year for participating. When the grid is under strain, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) automatically pulls excess stored power from the system, and homeowners are paid for the energy their batteries provide. Events can be called year-round, helping prevent spikes on the power grid and reduce the need for less efficient sources of power while providing homeowners with direct financial benefits.

“With federal tax credits for home energy storage ending last year, programs such as this from Puget Sound Energy are an important way for homeowners to make battery backup affordable,” said Gary Lam, CEO and co-founder of FranklinWH. “This allows homeowners to keep their power on during outages, save on energy bills, and support the grid during high-demand periods.”

Lam said the program is a practical way for homeowners to maximize the value of their energy storage systems. “People want solutions that are simple, reliable, and worth their investment,” he said. “This program helps pay for an energy storage system that is more than backup power. It’s also a way to earn money from PSE while helping keep the power on across PSE’s territory.”

Batteries must be owned by PSE customers and interconnected with the PSE grid. Software technology providers Uplight and Derapi facilitate enrollment, battery dispatch, and customer payment. FranklinWH’s participation in Flex Batteries underscores the company’s commitment to saving homeowners money on energy costs, expanding access to clean energy incentives, and strengthening grid reliability across Washington and the United States.

About FranklinWH
FranklinWH Energy Storage manufactures the FranklinWH System, a next-generation home energy management and storage solution. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH combines decades of experience in energy system design, manufacturing, sales, and installation. The company is AVL-listed with multiple financial institutions and continues to help homeowners achieve energy freedom through reliable, integrated solar and battery systems.

O’S BUBBLE & PINK ROCKET: WHEN SWEET MEETS SPICY, ‘SWICY’ A NEW CATEGORY IS BORN

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At a time when global palates are shifting toward layered, high-contrast flavors, two category leaders are choosing collaboration over competition.

This March at Natural Products Expo West, O’s Bubble and Pink Rocket will officially debut their first joint innovation — a ‘Swicy’ fusion concept that bridges beverage culture and Korean street food tradition.

O’s Bubble, the flagship brand under Orbitel International Group, has transformed bubble tea into a scalable global retail format, building its reputation on texture, comfort, and modern Asian lifestyle appeal.

Pink Rocket, a dynamic brand under Young Poong Co., Ltd., represents Korea’s fiery street-food heritage, engineered with manufacturing precision and global ambition.

Together, the two brands — each backed by their respective parent companies… introduce what they define as “Swicy,” a new flavor language where sweetness and heat coexist intentionally, not accidentally.

“We’ve spent years redefining how bubble tea lives beyond the café. This collaboration with Young Poong allows us to extend that thinking into new formats and flavor territories. Swicy isn’t just a pairing, it’s a flavor language we are defining and owning — a reflection of how modern consumers eat: layered, curious, and culturally fluid. And with topokki, Korea’s iconic comfort food, this partnership goes beyond export—we’re evolving a classic for what’s next.” said Fanny Chen, CEO, Orbitel International Group.

Introducing the Sweet & Spicy Hit
O’s Bubble approaches innovation from a different direction — reengineering bubble tea across frozen, microwaveable, and ready-to-enjoy formats. With deep understanding of North American consumers and strong retail execution, the brand has become an Amazon Best Seller in North America, demonstrating its ability to convert cultural flavor into scalable commercial success.

Orbitel International Group serves as the sole distributor of Young Poong’s Pink Rocket brand in the U.S. market, further strengthening the strategic bridge between the two companies.

Debuting at Expo West, the new co-developed concept blends creamy sweetness with calibrated Korean heat — layered with chew, sauce, and contrast. It draws inspiration from both bubble tea indulgence and Korean street-side spice culture.

The ‘Swicy’ collaboration will be featured at both the O’s Bubble booth and the Young Poong / Pink Rocket booth during Expo West 2026.

About Orbitel International Group
Orbitel International Group is a global food innovation company committed to bringing authentic Asian lifestyle products to the world. Its flagship brand O’s Bubble has redefined bubble tea — from frozen (BOBA 1.0) to microwaveable (BOBA 2.0) to its latest ready-to-eat Boba (BOBA 3.0). Operating in 50+ countries, Orbitel is trusted by retailers, distributors, and foodservice leaders for its supply chain excellence, product innovation, and strategic partnerships — all built on the belief that food and drink should always deliver Our Best Times.

Mark Moffat, CEO of IFS, commented: “The introduction of IFS Softeon means every enterprise wrestling with the complexity of modern supply chains now has access to something genuinely new: end-to-end supply chain intelligence, from strategic decision-making to physical execution on the warehouse floor. Industrial AI meets limitless warehouse execution. That’s a combination that will supercharge what’s possible for our customers.”

Innovaccer Receives Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 United States New Product Innovation Recognition for Excellence in AI-Driven Patient Access Solutions

The recognition highlights Innovaccer’s innovation leadership in transforming patient access through omnichannel, AI-powered engagement and workflow unification.

SAN ANTONIO, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Innovaccer has received the 2026 United States New Product Innovation Recognition in the United States Patient Access Solutions Industry for its outstanding achievements in innovation, strategy execution, and customer impact. This recognition highlights Innovaccer’s consistent leadership in modernizing patient access through AI-driven, omnichannel engagement, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an increasingly competitive healthcare landscape.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Innovaccer excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with evolving market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. “Frost & Sullivan recognizes Innovaccer for its innovative approach to patient access and engagement, highlighting its ability to unify fragmented workflows and deliver a truly omnichannel, AI-driven experience. The company’s Comet AI platform, a combination of autonomous AI agents and intelligent copilots, enhances operational efficiency, improves patient satisfaction, and boosts staff productivity,” said Alejandra Parra, Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on digital innovation, data integration, and customer-centric partnerships, Innovaccer has demonstrated strong strategic agility in addressing critical gaps across the patient access value chain. The company’s sustained investment in artificial intelligence, automation, and healthcare interoperability has enabled it to scale effectively across the United States healthcare market, helping providers compress complex workflows and deliver more seamless care experiences.

Innovation remains central to Innovaccer’s approach. Comet AI™, the company’s patient access and engagement platform transforms traditional call centers into intelligent, always-on digital front doors that operate across voice, chat, SMS, and web channels. By unifying electronic medical records, scheduling, referral management, and communication tools into a single pane of glass, Comet AI enables healthcare staff to manage up to 70% to 80% of routine interactions autonomously while reserving human expertise for more complex cases.

 “Patient access is where healthcare systems feel the most pressure, high volumes, fragmented workflows, and rising expectations from patients,” said Abhinav Shashank, cofounder and CEO of Innovaccer. “Comet AI was built to address this reality by autonomously handling routine interactions across channels, unifying access workflows, and helping care teams operate with far greater speed and clarity. This recognition from Frost & Sullivan reinforces our belief that autonomous, AI-driven patient access is not a future concept and it is already delivering measurable impact for healthcare organizations today.” 

Innovaccer’s unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its leadership in the patient access solutions market. The platform streamlines service delivery, enables self-service through intuitive digital channels, and maintains high levels of reliability and availability. AI copilots support live agents with next-best-action recommendations, real-time documentation, and insurance or eligibility verification, improving productivity while reducing burnout. This integrated, omnichannel model delivers measurable outcomes, including improved appointment bookings, reduced referral leakage, higher patient satisfaction, and demonstrable return on investment for healthcare organizations.

Frost & Sullivan commends Innovaccer for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company’s innovation pipeline, AI-driven vision, and patient-first culture are shaping the future of the United States patient access solutions industry and driving tangible results at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the New Product Innovation Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The accolade recognizes forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.
