ProKidney Announces Eight Abstracts Selected for Presentation at the American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2026

* Seven abstracts spanning CKD translational model studies and drug product characterization provide converging evidence supporting a multifactorial mechanism of action for rilparencel * One clinical abstract presents a new pooled Phase 2 analysis of patients meeting key PROACT 1 inclusion criteria that continues to indicate a strong safety profile and kidney function stabilization in patients with advanced CKD and type 2 diabetes mellitus WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProKidney Corp. (Nasdaq: PROK) (“ProKidney” or the “Company”), a leading late clinical-stage cell therapy company focused on chronic kidney disease (CKD), today announced that the Company will present eight abstracts, including one oral presentation, at the upcoming American Society of Nephrology’s (ASN) Kidney Week being held from October 21-25, 2026, in Denver, CO.

"The data being presented at Kidney Week 2026 continue to build a more cohesive picture of how rilparencel may lead to stabilization of kidney function," said Bruce Culleton, M.D., CEO of ProKidney. "Across multiple complementary non-clinical models, we are seeing evidence supporting an adaptive, multifactorial mechanism that involves attenuation of oxidative damage, metabolic dysregulation, and pro-inflammatory signaling, while supporting vascular and tubular repair within diseased and injured kidney cells. Importantly, these mechanistic observations coupled with the stabilization of kidney function observed across our recent Phase 2 studies in patients with advanced CKD and type 2 diabetes further strengthen our confidence in the ongoing Phase 3 PROACT 1 study."
