Hong Kong, Oct 23, 2026 - HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (02511.HK), an innovative biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional, multi-targeted therapies for cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) diseases, today presented new preclinical findings for HTD1801 in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) at Kidney Week 2026, the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN), in Denver, US. The findings demonstrate potent inhibitory activity of HTD1801 against cyst expansion in ADPKD.
ADPKD is the most common inherited kidney disorder, characterized by progressive cyst formation and kidney failure by age 60 in approximately 50% of patients. Although existing treatments are available to slow disease progression in certain patients, safety risks and eligibility limitations leave substantial unmet medical needs in ADPKD. HTD1801 targets the AMPK–NLRP3 axis by activating AMPK, suppressing cAMP-driven epithelial cyst proliferation while inhibiting NLRP3 to mitigate renal inflammation and fibrotic remodeling, thereby potentially targeting key pathological processes in ADPKD.
In this study, the effect of HTD1801 on forskolin (FSK)-induced cyst expansion was evaluated in PKD1−/− human iPSC-derived nephron organoids, with metformin and tolvaptan as reference comparators. The results showed that HTD1801 significantly reduced the median cystic area fraction to 10.70%, compared with 20.40% in the FSK model control group. Meanwhile, organoids with a low cystic burden (<20%) increased from 46.9% in the model control group to 97.3%, while organoids with a high cystic burden (≥30%) decreased from 8.2% to 0%. By comparison, metformin reduced the median cystic area fraction to 13.12%, while tolvaptan did not alter cyst burden, as this model does not respond to tolvaptan.
These findings further expand the potential multidimensional renal benefits of HTD1801. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of HTD1801 to improve metabolic abnormality-associated renal impairment. HTD1801 effectively suppresses cyst expansion in PKD1-mutant human nephron organoids, validating its dual effects of AMPK activation and NLRP3 inhibition in ADPKD pathogenesis. These preclinical findings provide a strong rationale for further clinical investigation of HTD1801 to explore its potential as a disease-modifying therapy for ADPKD. They further highlight the therapeutic potential of HTD1801 for patients with ADPKD and other chronic kidney diseases (CKD), particularly those currently underserved by existing treatment options.
Presentation Title: HTD1801 Suppresses Cyst Expansion in PKD1-Mutant Nephron Organoids: Evidence for AMPK-NLRP3 Axis Efficacy in ADPKD
Presentation Number: TH-PO0204
Date and Time: October 22, 2026, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM MDT
Format: Poster Presentation
Session: ADPKD and Cystic Kidney Disease – 1 [PO1201-1]
Presenter: Dr. Filip Surmont, Chief Medical Officer of HighTide Therapeutics
“ADPKD continues to pose a substantial unmet medical need, as progressive cyst growth can lead to deterioration of kidney function and ultimately kidney failure, underscoring the need for effective therapies that can inhibit cyst growth,” said Dr. Filip Surmont, Chief Medical Officer of HighTide Therapeutics. “The significant suppression of cyst expansion observed with HTD1801 in this study provides new scientific evidence to support its further development in ADPKD and highlights its potential as a disease-modifying therapy. We will continue to advance research on HTD1801 to further validate these findings and explore its potential therapeutic value in kidney diseases.”

ORLANDO, FL, Oct 23, 2026 - MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS), a leader in advanced perception solutions for industrial, security and defense, intelligent infrastructure, and automotive applications, today announced the much-anticipated commercial production launch of MOVIA™ Pro, shipping sensors to meet customer demand. MOVIA Pro is the company’s next-generation short-range lidar sensor uniquely engineered to deliver differentiated sensing performance and onboard perception capabilities, with flexible integration across intelligent infrastructure, unmanned aerial, industrial robotics, and other emerging autonomous applications.
As the lidar industry transitions toward solid-state architectures that enable cost-effective sensing solutions, MicroVision’s MOVIA Pro is designed to deliver enhanced short-range detection performance for demanding applications. By combining advanced sensing capabilities with onboard perception, MOVIA Pro makes high-performance lidar more accessible across a broader range of autonomous and intelligent systems.
MOVIA Pro joins the company's broader portfolio of short- and long-range lidar technologies, airborne sensing solutions and advanced perception software, providing customers with configurable solutions for a growing range of operating environments. The launch of MOVIA Pro reinforces MicroVision's transformation into a diversified perception technology company focused on delivering commercially ready solutions for industrial, intelligent infrastructure, security and defense, and emerging autonomous applications.
"We’re thrilled to meet pent-up customer demand with this production launch of MOVIA Pro,” said Glen DeVos, CEO of MicroVision. “Customers are ready to progress from evaluation of prototypes to launching commercial programs, and we are pleased to support their progression. Our Orlando-based state-of-the-art production facility is manufacturing MOVIA Pro to meet the increasing demand.
DeVos continued, "With MOVIA Pro, we've combined high-performance sensing with onboard computing, an open software framework and industrial-ready connectivity. This is one device that can sense, perceive, and act, providing customers with a more integrated and adaptable solution."
One Sensor That Sees, Understands, and Enables Solutions at the Edge
MOVIA Pro is MicroVision’s production-ready version of MOVIA S, loaded with high-performance features and a differentiation that extends beyond sensing hardware. Built around an integrated processing architecture, MOVIA Pro enables perception software to run directly on the sensor through MicroVision's Open Software Framework. This allows developers and customers to build, deploy, and update applications on the device, rather than relying exclusively on external computing hardware to interpret point-cloud data. The architecture enables MOVIA Pro to generate sensing information, process that information into actionable perception outputs, and communicate results directly to connected systems.
Key capabilities include:
Onboard perception, edge AI, and open software: Processes point-cloud data directly on the sensor to generate object-level information, supporting AI at the edge and reducing reliance on external computing devices. Multi-echo sensing enhances perception by capturing multiple returns from a single emitted pulse, helping detect objects in challenging conditions. An open, Linux-based software framework enables customers to develop, deploy, and update perception applications.
Flexible connectivity and industrial integration: Supports CAN, Gigabit and 100Mbit Ethernet, and industrial-ready I/O and connectors to simplify integration with industrial equipment, vehicles, and control systems.
Software-defined evolution: Enables capabilities and enhancements through software updates, with a foundation for future-edge computing and AI-ready capabilities.
By combining sensing and perception in a single device, MOVIA Pro is designed to reduce system complexity, cabling and external hardware requirements while supporting more efficient integration, maintenance and future upgrades.
Movia Pro is MicroVision’s next-generation short-range lidar sensor that delivers integrated perception and multi-echo sensing, built for flexible integration across various commercial applications.
