First scientific presentation of detailed PK data demonstrates dose-dependent increases in agomelatine exposure, no food effect, and no accumulation of exposure over seven days of dosing Detailed data reinforces previously reported topline results demonstrating that GlyphAgo achieved a statistically significant 6.8-fold increase in agomelatine bioavailability and substantially lower (10-fold) PK variability compared to unmodified agomelatine Agomelatine levels comparable to those seen with efficacious doses of the unmodified drug were achieved at substantially lower doses, intended to reduce hepatic exposure and the potential for liver enzyme elevations BOSTON--()--October 09, 2026-- Seaport Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPTX) ("Seaport" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage therapeutics company developing novel neuropsychiatric medicines, today announced the presentation of Phase 1 clinical data for GlyphAgo(TM) (SPT-320 or Glyph Agomelatine) at the 39th European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress, taking place October 10-13, 2026, in Munich, Germany. The poster represents the first scientific presentation of data from the GlyphAgo Phase 1 program and provides detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses supporting previously reported topline results and reinforcing GlyphAgo's differentiated profile. GlyphAgo is a novel, "Glyphed" oral prodrug of agomelatine designed to enhance lymphatic absorption and bypass first-pass liver metabolism. In the Phase 1 program, GlyphAgo demonstrated a statistically significant 6.8-fold increase in bioavailability of agomelatine compared to unmodified agomelatine and showed significantly lower (10-fold) PK variability. GlyphAgo achieved therapeutically relevant exposure of agomelatine at substantially lower doses that are designed to reduce liver exposure. Seaport believes this approach has the potential to reduce the risk of liver enzyme elevations and reduce the need for routine liver function monitoring that has historically limited agomelatine's clinical use. "The data presented at ECNP provide important clinical validation that our Glyph(TM) platform can meaningfully improve the pharmacokinetic profile of medicines historically limited by high first-pass liver metabolism," said Daniel Bonner, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Senior Vice President, Platform, at Seaport Therapeutics. "The increased exposure and markedly reduced inter-individual variability observed in the Phase 1 program are particularly compelling. More predictable drug exposure may translate into more consistent clinical outcomes for patients, further supporting the development of GlyphAgo as a potential treatment for generalized anxiety disorder." The completed multi-part Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GlyphAgo in 174 healthy volunteers. The newly presented results include data from the multiple-ascending dose (MAD) portion and analyses supporting the absence of a food effect with
