Welcome to the first quarter of 2026
2025 has been a year of significant progress for Cessatech. Our work is dedicated to improving the treatment of acute pain in children, benefiting patients, families and healthcare professionals. Throughout the year, we have continued to advance our lead paediatric programme, and we enter 2026 positioned for what we expect to be a transformative year for the company.
All hands on deck to support the coming US launch
In the US, the collaboration with Ventis Pharma (commercial partner) and STAQ Pharma (manufacturing partner) is progressing well, and all efforts are focused on finalizing the marketing and training materials needed prior to the US launch.
The requisite development batches have been successfully produced, and stability studies are currently ongoing. This represents the concluding quality assurance step prior to market release. Note that for the US market, we are validating compliance against specific FDA requirements, which entail distinct acceptance criteria compared to the EMA framework. Upon confirmation of the final stability data from our manufacturing partner, the product can be released to hospitals.
CT001 poster presentation at SPPM in Denver
In March 2026, the team will be in Denver at the Annual SPPM (Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine) meeting. The SPPM supports the goals of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia to continually advance the quality of anesthesia care, perioperative management, and, in particular, the alleviation of acute and chronic pain-related conditions in children up to 21 years of age and young adults still in the transition of care to adult practice. During the meeting, the team will participate at a poster session with data from the Study 0202 for CT001.
Highlights from 2025
Relevant articles: There is still much new literature on the large unmet need in the paediatric setting. If you did not read the articles related to paediatric pain management we sharing during 2025, see the link on under website (Facts)
MDR opinion and EMA Regulatory submission: In early 2025 we received a positive Notified Body opinion under MDR for CT001. The MDR opinion ensures medical devices with a drug component are safe and effective. The EMA reviews the drug part, while a Notified Body evaluates the device - and later in 2025 the Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for CT001 was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for acute pain management in children. The regulatory review process is currently ongoing.
New CT001 Patents: In 2025, additional patents were granted for CT001, intended to further strengthen our market position. We secured another patent in the US and one in the Asia-Pacific region. We will continue to pursue our patent strategy in the coming years.
Welcome to Sarah: In November, we welcomed Sarah Margaux Toft-Jørgensen to our team, as our new Senior Director of Finance & Investor Relations. Sarah has a strong background within the life science industry and will be instrumental in our future journey.
