Submitted Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a U.S. clinical study for fully implantable continuous blood glucose monitoring (CBGM) technology

Company targeting U.S. clinical trial launch in second half of 2026

Peer-Reviewed Studies published in The Journal of Diabetes Research and in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Sensors Journal support advancement of Company’s implantable CBGM technology

Rutherford, NJ, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glucotrack, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCTK) (“Glucotrack” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the design, development, and commercialization of novel technologies for people with diabetes, today reported financial results and recent corporate highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“During the quarter, we made meaningful progress advancing our CBGM program while further strengthening our foundation as a company,” said Paul V. Goode, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Glucotrack. “We successfully completed our presub process with FDA, culminating in the submission of our IDE to the FDA, an important milestone that brings us closer to initiating U.S. clinical studies. We also published two key sets of preclinical and in-vitro data in peer-reviewed journals, further supporting the development of our technology, and strengthened our balance sheet by reducing debt and extending our financial runway.”

First Quarter 2026 & Recent Highlights

Corporate Highlights

The Company held its third Patient Advisory Board (PAB) meeting during which patients shared perspectives on diabetes device prescribing and initiation, as well as their experiences with healthcare provider education and preparedness.
Strengthened balance sheet with debt reduction. The Company reduced the outstanding balance of its $3.6 million promissory note to approximately $1.6 million, primarily through the exchange of a portion of the note into shares of common stock at market price. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company drew approximately $1.0 million under its existing equity line of credit facility, further strengthening its cash position.

Advanced Product and Clinical Development

The Company successfully submitted its IDE application to the FDA to initiate a U.S. clinical study for its fully implantable CBGM technology. The submission represents a key milestone in advancing the Company's CBGM technology into U.S. clinical evaluation, supported by several years of focused engineering, preclinical evaluation, and iterative design work.
In a peer-reviewed article titled, “Year-Long Measurement of Glucose Oxidase Deactivation in Electrochemical Glucose Sensors,” published in the IEEE Sensors Journal, the Company reported data validating the long-term stability of its glucose oxidase sensor, providing foundational scientific evidence to support the device’s intended three-year longevity.
In a peer-reviewed article titled, “In Vivo Evaluation of a Novel Long-Term Intravascular Implantable Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor in an Ovine Model: A Glucotrack Inc. Investigation,” published in The Journal of Diabetes Research, the Company reported data demonstrating the long-term accuracy and stability of the Company’s fully implantable CBGM system. The in-vivo ovine study showed a 6.8% Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) and sustained sensor performance over 240 days, supporting the platform’s progression toward clinical studies.

Anticipated Milestones

Initiate U.S. clinical study of the Company’s CBGM in 2H 2026.
Present clinical data demonstrating the safety and accuracy of the CBGM technology at additional industry conferences, with timing and venues to be determined as data become available.
Continue to gain insight from patients living with diabetes on current management challenges and receive feedback on Glucotrack’s product development and commercialization strategies through additional PAB meetings.

Financial Results for the Quarter ended March 31, 2026

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $2.1 million for first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.9 million for first quarter of 2025. The increase of $0.2 million was primarily due to timing in product and manufacturing development activities.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and Administrative expenses were $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.6 million for first quarter of 2025. The increase of $0.5 million was primarily attributable to increased professional fees and personnel costs.

Other (Income) Expense, Net: Other expense was $0.1 million for the first quarter 2026, as compared to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in other expense is primarily attributed to the current year’s reduction in the change of derivative liabilities.

Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.3 million compared to a net loss of $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributed to the non-cash change in derivative liabilities.

Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, were $3.9 million, compared with $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to $4.1 million of cash used in operating activities offset by net proceeds received from financing activities of $0.6 million.

Based on current plans and assumptions, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient runway into early 3Q 2026, allowing for the initiation of its U.S. human clinical trial shortly thereafter.
