First patient treated in clinical trial of AION Healthspan`s novel investigational cell therapy, REJUVXL ^TM

LONDON and NEW YORK, 20 May 2025 – Renalytix plc (LSE: RENX) (OTCQB: RNLXY), a precision medicine company with lead testing service kidneyintelX.dkd , the only FDA-approved and Medicare reimbursed prognostic test to support early-stage risk assessment in chronic kidney disease, announces that a key milestone has been reached in the very first use of KidneyIntelX in a clinical trial, following the successful enrollment and treatment of the first patient to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel cell therapy for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD”).

Renalytix and AION Heathspan, Inc, a US-based clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to advancing regenerative medicine for acute and chronic degenerative diseases, are partnering in the use of KidneyIntelX as a precision medicine solution in the clinical development programme for AION Healthspan`s REJUVXL ^TM (AION-301), including helping monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. This partnered programme represents the first instance where KidneyIntelX is incorporated into a clinical trial of a new therapy in CKD. Change in KidneyIntelX risk levels is included as an outcome measure in this first-in-human clinical trial. Under the terms of the agreement, Renalytix will be responsible for determining KidneyIntelX risk levels in subjects enrolled in the study and supporting analysis of the data in accordance with the clinical protocol.
